Safety, trust & environment

When sitting your furry friend in my home, I have a one bedroom apartment so the majority of the day will be spent outside at parks and hiking/walking. When sitting your furry friend in your home, I find it best to try to mimic their daily routine (but could absolutely fit in a park trip/walk).

Information Lauren Z. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs or if you have special requests, please let me know. I have rescued and fostered several dogs and cats and can accommodate for just about any needs/requests.

A typical day

I have a husky at home so I know the importance of giving a dog plenty of activities and exercise during the day. While walking your pups, their safety (and happiness) are the priorities, so I like to stick to their regular schedule and walking area to avoid any discomfort or surprises. Or, if you have a yard or favorite dog park, I can absolutely bring your pups for a nice game of fetch.

A walk a day keeps the vet away

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a profound love for animals and have been rescuing them for as long as I can remember - therefore I am well versed and experienced in a range of care like grooming, administering medication, and even handling reactive dogs.

Lauren did a great job walking my dog today! She was communicative, reliable, and followed all instructions perfectly. Everything went smoothly and I really appreciated the updates. Will definitely book with her again!
