Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog is around other dogs, has a specific diet, has certain behavior ticks, and does not care for long walks or runs.

A typical day

I would love to walk your dog around Old Town and provide exercise in the parks and/or dog park near here. My dog would be more than happy to play with yours as well! And I’d be supervising to make sure both dogs are happy and safe.

Your Dog’s New Best Friend

Pet care experience

YOUR DOG’S NEW BEST FRIEND! I pride myself on loving dogs and being attentive, reliable, and kind to your pup. Regardless of their age or specific needs, I am happy to give them what they need. I am gentle and calm to dogs when first meeting, to ensure they have time to sniff and get comfortable with me. I’ve grown up with dachshunds but have been around bichon/cavachons, pitbulls, and labradors frequently. I have a mini dachshund who is so friendly. I am willing to care for your dog with him or separately. I live in Old Town North and currently don’t have a car so you’d have to be within walking distance or be able to drop off/pick up your dog.

We booked Lauren for daily dog-walking and she did a great job! She sent updates and photos and it looked like our boy was having a great time and really enjoyed the time with her and her dog! Thanks again!

Lauren (and Howie) were wonderful, communicative, and professional. She took in my two babies when I was in a pinch and they had so much fun. Thank you, Lauren!
