Friendly with very flexible hours!
Pet care experience
I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since childhood, and have experience caring for very young puppies, elderly dogs, dogs requiring medical assistance, traumatized/newly-rescued dogs, and most everything in-between. I am very patient and gentle, and have never met a dog that I haven't been able to love. I can take your dog on walks, hikes, runs, trail runs, and to dog parks; I can also teach your dog some fun tricks, including hula hoop jumps. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule and would love to work with you to provide you and your loved canine companion with whatever service you are looking for. I am also American Red Cross-certified to provide Dog CPR and First Aid, and have received both in-person training and testing. I am currently working from home with very flexible hours (and part-time), so I have the ability to accommodate a wide variety of scheduling constraints! I am an active and energetic person who enjoys spending time outdoors, so I have a lot of time and energy to dedicate to playing with and providing care for your pups. I live in a very dog-friendly building that has specific amenities for dogs, including a pet spa for pet grooming and cleaning. I do not have any pets of my own, so your dog(s) will have my undivided attention. I am very attentive and will be sure to thoroughly follow any and all of your dog's personalized care plans and protocols. I am also happy to send regular check-ins and updates to you via text messages or photos.
Reviews
Lauren is amazing!! She is a great communicator and always gave updates. Kahea loved the walks and we appreciated the photos and bath. She looks forward to seeing Lauren again soon!!
Lauren was very responsive, sweet, great company to my dog. My dog tends to be really sad whenever I am away, even when left with others. However, he must have felt really comfortable and loved with Lauren because he was cuddling up with her all day. It gave me great peace of mind, that he was in a space and with someone he felt safe with. Thank you!
Lauren was an awesome dog sitter! I appreciated that she was flexible (by offering to meet me early in the morning) and that she was proactive in understanding my dog's needs/schedule. She also sent plenty of pictures.

Information Lauren Y. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds! To prepare, I would love to know about any special needs your dog may have and any relevant recent veterinary/medical history that you feel I should keep in mind.
A typical day
I can take your dog on walks or runs around the Charles River Greenway, East Boston Greenway, Boston Commons and Public Gardens, Boston Harborwalk, Back Bay Fens, LoPresti Park, etc. to provide them with the opportunity to play around in and explore these natural green spaces while surrounded by a variety of plants and animals (and some bodies of water). I can also walk (or run with) them around Boston/Cambridge neighborhoods or on campuses so they can interact with students, if that is something you'd like me to do. I can teach your dog how to do various tricks, such as rolling over, shaking hands, dancing, and jumping through hula hoops. I also love playing games with dogs like frisbee, fetch with a ball, and tug of war.
