Vacation for your small dog!
Hello! I am Lauren. I'm in my mid thirties and I am absolutely in love with dogs! After staying with me, your dog will look forward to coming back, running inside my home with a wagging tail next time you bring them back. I spoil your dog as if it's my own... that means endless cuddles and belly rubs, sleeping in bed with me, allowed on the furniture, home baked organic chicken treats (if you permit. If they have a chicken allergy, I can make beef instead). I do not accept puppies or dogs over 20 pounds because I like to make this a safe, low energy place, for more mature small dogs. I especially love senior dogs so you can rest assured that your senior dog is safely and gently cared for in all the ways they need.

We always enjoy and feel safe leaving our little guy with Lauren!

Thanks again!

Thanks again for having Izzy at such short notice!

Thank you so much again for looking after Izzy. I never worry when I’m out of town X

Lauren is wonderful! Izzy had a great stay and very taken very great care of. I was always sent lots of photos and videos. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Lauren so much for making it easier to leave my little old lady!

Lauren is an incredible caregiver! She looked after our long-haired dachshund, Copper, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Copper came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s always a relief to know your pet is in good hands, and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her attention, kindness, and professionalism. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Schedule
For Boarding: My husband and I both work from our home and love hosting pets. For dogs, we currently only allow small breed (under 25 lbs) and older dogs, although we will make exceptions for younger dogs if they are low energy. No puppies at this time. Only hosting low-energy small dogs makes for a peaceful and stress-free environment for your dog's stay. We always require a meet and greet beforehand to ensure that your dog is a good fit for the pack. I don't host more than 4 dogs at a time to ensure everyone gets enough attention and gets along (Except for holiday weeks, I may take up to 5). The animals are welcome on our furniture and in bed with us. I love having repeat clients and building a good relationship built on trust with your dog and with you. I love seeing your dog happy about getting dropped off at our home and feeling like it's a fun little vacation for them. When they visit multiple times, they know this is a safe, fun and loving environment for them and run right inside like it's their own house. We have a large, fenced in backyard that the dogs love to sniff around in and give lots of treats (if allowed) and constant snuggles and belly rubs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As a fellow dog mom, I know just how terrifying it is leaving your baby with a stranger, so I'll keep you up to date with lots of photos showing them peacefully sleeping or having some fun time and your nerves will be eased knowing they are comfortable in my home.
Pets
A typical day
The dogs just hang out with me while I work from home. We take breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard. The dogs sometimes play with each other if they are playful. I will also play with them if they like to play, throwing a ball or playing chase with them around the house or yard. We take naps together and snuggle together. Dogs are never left alone. Usually the dogs take turns sitting on my lap or I sit on the couch where they can all sit next to me at once. We serve them their breakfasts and dinners pretty far apart so there is no fear of food aggression. In the early evening, if the weather is good and the dogs are in good shape, we go on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. For bedtime, all dogs are welcome and encouraged to cuddle in bed all night!
