Safety, trust & environment

I am a very attentive and knowledgeable dog owner. My own dogs are reactive and have gone through training and I’ve dealt with rescue dogs my whole life so I know the challenges that come along with that and how to handle dogs of different temperament and backgrounds. I let the dogs stop & smell as much as they please on walks as it’s important for their enrichment and self confidence. let me know if your dog is trained differently.

Lauren has been very communicative before and throughout our booking! She was very accommodating and understanding of our pet situation, given that our cats do not like each other. Thank you so much for everything and we look forward to working with her again.

Lauren did fantastic talking care of my kitties. She followed all of their specific rules and instructions regarding feeding and care. My kitties love her and we do too! So grateful to have someone I trust in my house taking care of my senior kitties

Lauren, knows what she is doing! 10/10 would recommend. I have two dogs one of them always in your face and the other old and set in her ways! Even after my dog fussed at her, she found a way to get her out of her hiding spot after not coming out for two days! She is patient and kind, really has a specialty for dogs! Thank you for caring for my babies as I would!

Schedule

I work from home for my 9-5 so I’m fairly flexible. I like to schedule my walks depending on location & when my meetings are in the day I don’t typically do overnight stays as I have my own 5 at home, but can make exceptions.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Lauren can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog is reactive so I can avoid other dogs but don’t be shy or feel bad! I have been there. All dogs deserve love and exercise. I always avoid other dogs while walking for everyone’s comfort. Also let me know if they are good with treats or not, as I like to introduce myself with treats to warm them up & make it a good experience for them.
