My daily AND weekly routine are very flexible as I can adjust my own schedule when needed. Even on work hours, I have a lot of free time on my hands that allow for short walks or some fun activities in the yard. My dogs always have time made for them, so I would love to include your pups in our free time.

Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is fenced in and is a very large plot to allow for a quick stretch of the legs and multiple potty breaks. Smaller dogs will be taken on a leash as the fence is a rail type fence, but larger dogs will be allowed to roam freely around the yard. If your pups are not dog friendly it is a MUST know so that space can be separated from my own, but still allow them room to run and grow comfortable in a new space. Dogs are let out every 1-3 hours, depending on what is needed and can be adjusted as needed.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog other dog friendly? Bed sleepers? Specific times they like to eat or any schedule you would like for them to be kept on? Do they have any allergies or medications they need throughout the day?

A typical day

With my day typically starting around 7-8 am, while it’s still cool out I enjoy opening the back door and letting the pups run around in the morning. Working from home allows me to give multiple potty and play breaks and quick walks around the neighborhood for new smells and scenery! In the summer I like to bust out a couple water toys and sprinklers to keep cool and satiate any water loving pups, and in the cooler seasons walks around some of the local parks and baking dog friendly treats are some of our favorites!

Pet care experience

I’m a dog mom that works from home 95% of the time. With 4 dogs and almost an acre for a fenced in backyard, there is a lot of time for fun activities, cuddles, and the zoomies both in and outside of the house. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs, and have enough space throughout the house that either can be made comfortable in a space if needed.

Lauren was great! I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to meet her but Chief did and she took great care of him and played with him! Got great updates. 10/10 recommend.

Lauren was absolutely wonderful with my Yorkie! She took great care of him while I was away for the week, and I could tell he felt comfortable and loved in her care. She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she boards. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind—highly recommend!
