Pet care experience
We’ve both taken care of dogs and cats a-plenty since we were kids. As adults, we’ve helped friends and family with pet needs on many occasions. However, taking care of our three-year-old Aussie Doodle Rocky, who we adopted in 2021, has helped us grow from pet fans to full-time pet parents. Rocky’s journey from an anxious mess of a puppy to a well-trained, effusively loving dog has been enormously rewarding for both of us. It took a ton of work to make him fully trust us and be comfortable in different environments. In the process we learned just how important it is to do the little things to earn that trust, as well as the importance of balancing positive reinforcement with consistency in pet care.
Reviews
Lauren and Wynn took great care of my two pups for the day. Both dogs were happy when we arrived home later that evening. We will definitely book them again!
Nani had a great time.Lauren & Wynn were great at communication and gave the best care to our princess! We appreciate their availability!
We booked Lauren & Wynn at (almost) the last minute while we were visiting our son in Cincinnati. Wynn was very good with Smokey and we would not hesitate to contact them again!
Great communication from booking to pick up. Will use again!

Safety, trust & environment
We don’t have a fence, but we live in a low-traffic area with a big front yard and a bigger back yard that extends down our driveway to another house where Lauren’s parents live. There are also plenty of nearby trails and sidewalks to go dog-walking on-leash, and we live near an expansive dog park (Otto Armleder Park) where we can take your dog to get a little social interaction or energy out, if they need it. We take Rocky there all the time and he loves it! He can also attest to the many, many interesting smells in our back yard (including but not limited to: grass, pine needles, and the occasional deer droppings). As for Rocky himself, he loves pups big and small; he rarely has any qualms sharing space with other dogs (or cats), and if for any reason they don’t get along, we have the space in our home to separate them comfortably. We’ll keep your pet warm, safe, and pampered!
Home
Information Lauren & Wynn H. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any sensitivities or triggers (e.g. food or toy aggression), no worries — we’ve been down that road and know how to handle it. Just let us know what situations to avoid or signs to watch for, and we’ll make for sure your dog isn’t pushed out of his or her comfort zone.
A typical day
When we’re both working, I’ll keep an eye on the pups in our house throughout the day and take them on potty breaks every 3-4 hours (or more frequently, if needed). We may go on a short walks during my breaks, if time allows. When one or both of us is off work (or on weekends), we love to walk dogs around the block in our tree-lined suburban neighborhood, or go for a longer walk on one of several wooded walking trails near our house. We also live near a 10-acre dog park with three expansive fenced areas for them to run around in. And if they don’t mind a short drive, there is another park with hiking trails that we visit often.

Availability
I work from home every day, and have the flexibility to step away to handle any situation that may come up during that time. I have free time in the mornings, so I usually handle drop-in visits as well, if it’s within 20 minutes of our home. My partner Lauren works earlier in the mornings but is usually home by late afternoon or evening on weekdays, giving her the flexibility to make some house calls or other appointments most days after she gets off work, and help care for any dogs we’re boarding in the evenings. Between us, we can cover pet duties pretty much seven days a week (excluding outside plans).
