Safety, trust & environment

Although I am unable to care for your pet within my own home, I am able and willing to give your pet lots of play time, walk, and love in the comfort of their own home!

Information Lauren Z. would like to know about your pet

I am currently only accepting requests for drop-ins and dog walks. Upon receiving a request for services, I will require a meet and greet (new clients only) so that I can get to know you and your pet as well as what to expect during a visit. During the meet and greet, please be as descriptive and explicit as possible when providing care instructions. The care that I provide is strongly based on instructions from the owner. If there is anything that I can do to make your pet more comfortable, please let me know. My goal is to ease the minds of both the pet and owner that I will provide the utmost support and care.

A typical day

I love dog walking (serves as great exercise for both the dog and myself)! I also love engaging in backyard play and positive reinforcement, whatever makes your pup comfortable and happy!

Lauren did well with my cat, even though my cat can be aggressive and territorial. She was able to give her her meds and food both days.

She took good care of my babies while we were away. I definitely recommend her!

Lauren did a great job watching Kia while I was out. She made sure Kia had a food and water plus a clean litter box while I was away :)

I'm so glad to have booked Lauren again. She gives us peace of mind when we have to leave town. Our cats aren't always the happiest around new people, but she took the time to find their new hiding spots and give them treats and comfort. I would recommend her to any cat family!
