A COZY HOME FOR BOARDING!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Lauryn and I'm a huge animal advocate! I am grateful to be able to have the opportunity to offer my home to you and your pup because all dogs deserve to be treated like family! I began pet sitting over 20 years ago while still in grade school and have since been fostering dogs with different personalities and needs for 13 years to keep them out of shelters until they find their perfect forever home. An animals best interest is always my first priority when caring for them. I was a very proud and dedicated pet owner of an 13 year old female boxer named Romy, whom I rescued when she was less than a year old. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge but I chesished every second that I had with her. I still have my regular clients here frequently so your pups will most likely have friendly companionship and playmates during their stay :) I live in a humble one story - 3 bedroom house with a nice front yard, a big back deck and a fenced in back yard with great space to play fetch and exercise! I never crate unless requested so all pets have free-range of my home at all times. I had a sweet baby boy named Brooks in June of 2021 who is already well acclimated to furry friends, I just ask that your pups be comfortable around children so everyone can enjoy themselves. I enjoy photography, so expect a lot of cute picture updates to see how your pet is doing! I also work from home full time, so your fur baby gets constant attention and snacks throughout the day! I know it can be scary to be away from each other so I am thorough in making sure I understand the tailored needs of your furry family member. I encourage meet & greets and have created a pet care plan questionnaire that I have each one of my new clients fill out. It tells me everything I'll need to know about your pup prior to their stay. I've found this goes a long way in helping accommodate to their needs/likes/dislikes and make their stay as comfortable as possible in a new place. I keep all of these on file in case you ever need repeat care in the future. Along with that, I have a Facebook page 'Seven Cities Pet Services' you can check out where I post pictures and videos of what's going on in our day so you can see how much fun your pup is having with new friends while they're here! I can do pick up's and drop off's if that helps you manage a hectic schedule and we also have a Furbo so they're always monitored in or outside of the home! The most important part is making sure that you and your pet are at ease while you are both away so please don't hesitate to contact me with any other questions you may have and/or to set up a meet and greet! I cannot wait to meet you and your furry family!!
Reviews
Highly recommended!!! We boarded our dachshund with Lauryn, and he had an amazing time!! She is very responsive before and during the boarding period, and send us frequent updates with photos on what the pups are up to. She gave us a detailed info on what other dogs were staying at the same time, and knew how to introduce them so they would all get along. Not only did my baby got to play and run around with other pup guests, he got to snuggle with Lauryn too! I appreciate the way she treated my dog like her own, and we will absolutely be using her again.
Best doggy sitter ever, sent pictures the whole time and updated me on what she was doing and eating daily! 10/10!
Lauryn did a fantastic job! She texted my updated and pictures every day and my dog seemed to have a great time! I was worried that he might not want to come home after being so pampered for two weeks. She really cares about the dogs she watches, and she does everything she can to make sure they have a great stay.
only person in Virginia we trust with our fur-babies!
