Highlights
Pet care experience
Strut for the Mutt 🐕 💜
I have extensive experience working with pups (and pet parents) who struggle with separation anxiety as well as long term periods of care for your furry little guys! My first memories as a kid are playing with my family's chocolate lab and I've been an absolute dog lover ever since. I spent 2 years as a Petsmart dog washer during my undergrad and learned valuable dog handling skills that would make me an excellent dog washer. I do tend to spoil dogs with love and affection and would absolutely pamper them.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment with no other pets and have a large open area for leashed walks and potty time. I am a skilled dog handler and am able to ensure your pup will get enough exercise in a safe and controlled environment. I maintain a tidy home and don't leave things out for dogs to chew on or destroy and will keep the same level of cleanliness in your home.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was great with Scout, Remi, and Nellie! Her communication was stellar, and we loved getting all the photo updates while we were away. Having complete peace of mind about our dogs made our vacation so much better. We highly recommend her and will definitely rebook!
Lauren was great with communication and sent lots of pictures.
Flexible communicative and responsive. Great with our dogs who can be a bit of a handful. Thanks Lauren
Lauren was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process, she was super communicative, thoughtful, and caring towards our boy. He warmed up to Lauren very quickly and we felt very comfortable knowing he was getting attention and care while we were away. I highly recommend Lauren and plan to reach out to her again in the future!
Lauren is incredibly reliable and takes some of the best pictures we have of Rosie! We always know our wild puppy is in good hands when we book Lauren to walk her!
Lauren was so great with Bodhi. Very responsive and even showed up at 7AM vs PM due to a communication snafu! (I sent her home!) Lots of pictures and communication while we were gone. Bodhi bonded with her after a couple days and was even going into the bedroom looking for her after we got home. I'll definitely hire her again!

Schedule
I am a physics grad student who does research remotely and I primarily work from home. I have a fluid schedule and can adjust my time to fit your schedule.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsLauren can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I like to know of dogs have any allergies and medical conditions as well if they are allowed to recieve treats. It's also important for me to know if they have any anxious quirks so I can accurately judge their stress level during our time together
