Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide reliable, consistent, and attentive care for every dog. My daily routine is built entirely around my clients’ needs, so I have the flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks or visits. Because this is my full-time commitment, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and exercise they deserve without rushing. I prioritize dependable scheduling, clear communication, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Being available full-time also means I can be flexible for last-minute bookings, regular weekly schedules, and ongoing clients who need consistent support.

Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they get lots of attention and companionship while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or extended care, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

Information Lauren Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality ahead of time so I can match their needs. It’s also important to know about any leash behavior (pulling, reactivity), triggers, or fears, as well as any medical needs or medications. I also ask about preferred walking routes, commands they know, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. The more I know, the better I can make their walk fun and stress-free! 🐾

A typical day

I make every walk fun and engaging! We’ll explore new smells, take different routes, and enjoy plenty of sniff breaks. For high-energy pups, I’m happy to add some jogging or extra play along the way. My goal is to make each walk something your dog looks forward to—safe, fun, and full of tail wags 🐾

Pet care experience

Bully Breed Friendly • Reliable • Loving Care Hi! I’m Lauren, and dogs are a huge part of my life! I have over 5 years of experience working with dogs, and I’m also a proud dog mom to Sunny, my American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Thanks to Sunny, I’m very familiar with energetic pups, strong breeds, and giving dogs the patience, structure, and love they deserve. I’m happy to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—no breed restrictions at all! Whether your pup is shy, energetic, goofy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also have experience giving medications and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet healthy and safe. Walks with me aren’t just potty breaks—they’re fun, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I love making sure every dog gets attention, exercise, and lots of affection. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated with messages and cute photos so you never miss a moment. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them the love and care they deserve!

I have known and used Lauren to take care of and walk my dogs for close to 3 years, and she has always been friendly, professional and extremely helpful with myself and my 2 dogs. She is punctual and a pleasure to have help me with my dogs. My dogs always enjoy when Lauren shows up at the house to walk them.

We have 2 big dogs (half Great Pyrenees and half German Shephard) whom are brother and sister from the same litter, which makes everything twice as hard with everything we do. Lauren has helped us tremendously with her calm personality and her ability to be able to handle these two. She walks them for us and has helped to make our lives a lot easier with her knowledge and experience with dogs.

Lauren has been walking my dog daily while I was recovering from surgery since January 2026. I first met Lauren when I brought my baby to pup care. She was a leader, cared for pups and lovely with us moms. Lauren absolutely loves the babies. My baby absolutely adores her. She makes sure he is comfortable and set before she leaves him. She is professional, caring, sweet, a dog mom herself, she knows very well how to handle our babies. I went back to work and continue to have her take my boy out for his walks. I can't say enough great things about her.
