Tail-Wagging Outings & Loving Care

Pet care experience

Welcome to my Pet Care Oasis! Thank you for joining me in the world of pet care, where every tail wag and purr is a unique and wonderful melody. Your furry family members hold a special place in my heart, and I'm here to provide them with the care, love, and authenticity they deserve. Let's embark on this journey together, creating unforgettable moments for your pets and ensuring your peace of mind. Throughout my pet care journey, I've experienced a beautiful tapestry of moments. From the spirited energy of German Shepherds like Rocky and Ozzy, to the playful antics of a Doberman Mix named Josh, and the gentle companionship of Bernese Mountain dogs like Oliver—my family has been a sanctuary for a diverse range of canine personalities. My time at an emergency veterinary hospital (SF SPCA) has given me the expertise to safeguard and nurture the lives of both feline and canine companions. What truly sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between human and animal worlds, creating meaningful connections. The foundation of my service is built upon compassion—an empathy-driven care that forms the core of everything I do. As a true team player, I value the essence of family and community. Your pets and home will be treated with the same level of devotion and commitment as my own would be.

Potter was so tired when I came home. I love the days where I can relax after work and know my pup is pooped. Thank you, Lauri. :)

Everyday after work I come home to a happy and tired pup. My dog seems relaxed and spent every time she is with Lauri. :)

A typical day

**WALKS & VISITS** In the realm of pet care, I personalize every interaction to suit your pet's individual rhythm. Engaging games, exciting trips to the park, and indoor/outdoor activities create a canvas of memorable moments. For the safety of puppies, indoor (or backpack outdoor so no paws touch the ground) adventures are preferred until their vaccines are complete. Of course, your unique requests are welcome! A few scheduling notes - Please be aware that morning outings will be with my pack! I am grateful to be able to offer group outings (4-5 dog max) to be able to assist more clients for longer periods of time. I keep these packs small so my attention stays focused & personalized. Please see the daycare adventures notes below. My afternoons are dedicated to individualized training appointments. **DAYCARE ADVENTURES (including pick up and drop off)** Imagine your pets embarking on thrilling adventures—parks, beaches, and nature spots await their eager exploration. Their social experience is carefully curated, with rest and water breaks factored in, all considering the weather's embrace and exercise needs. To make it even more convenient for pet parents, I also provide pick up and drop off services (aka pet Uber). Before our daycare adventure, I require at least 1-3 dog walks to build an individual bond. This walk also helps determine a pack fit, ensuring your pet's comfort and happiness within the group. **HOUSESITTING** Picture a day filled with sunlit walks, midday play sessions, and meals in accordance with your pet's routine. Grooming, love-infused moments, and playdates for the sociable are the essence of each day. Medications, behavioral training, and photo updates complete this captivating composition. And as a bonus, I sprinkle in some light housekeeping to make your return seamless. HOUSESITTING SUMMARY: - AM & PM walks - Midday/afternoon play time - Mealtimes (per routine schedule) - Brushing - Play dates (if approved by owner & dog is social) - Medications & supplements as instructed - Current and requested behavior training plans - Daily updates and pictures - Light housekeeping

Our initial meeting will be more than just a checklist of routines and rules. Let's uncover your pet's unique language of preferred commands and desired tricks—because learning is an adventure, and fostering good behavior is an ongoing journey. While I strive to accommodate your scheduling needs to the best of my ability, please keep in mind that creating a seamless experience for your pet may require some adjustments. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure they receive the care they deserve. I appreciate your understanding that sometimes, good things take time. Communication is essential to our partnership. While I endeavor to respond as quickly as possible, please understand that there might be moments when my hands are full of paws, toys, and laughter. Thank you in advance for your patience—I assure you, your concerns and queries are valuable to me. My schedule revolves around your pet's needs, with regular walks and house-sitting routines thoughtfully planned. And for those rare moments, I'm here as your pet's emergency companion to the vet. This isn't just a side gig; it's my full-time calling—a career shaped by passion and expertise.
