Lauren is amazing dog sitter! She took care of everything and my dog Hercules really loved her. She followed the feeding directions to the tee exercised him and even made recommendations of supplies and things for my little guy! She even picked up food for him when he ran out and stocked me up so I wouldn’t be out when I got home! She’s awesome, kind and generous! Thanks Lauren!!!!

Lauren was absolutely amazing! She is very kind and professional! I have an older dog and knowing that I had someone with Vet Tech experience watching him was such a relief. She went above and beyond: plenty of long walks which he loves and playing games with my cats to help them get over their shyness towards a new person. She also had everything looking immaculate, litter boxes clean, food bowls clean, even took out every trash bag (even the outside) and put it all in the big bin!

JUST BOOK HER!!! Lauren is amazing. Not only are our furkids very well taken care of but we came home to clean vacuumed, mopped floors, towels washed home. Everything looks better than we left it!!! One of our babies is an old diabetic boy and requires shots twice a day. Not a problem for Lauren. Our kitties are healthy and happy and her fur kid (even tho much bigger than our old ones) was gentle with ours. Don’t miss an opportunity to book with Lauren!

Lauren was fantastic. I felt good about leaving Russo with her. She send messages on how he was doing and pictures. She even gave me some advice on Russos itches.
