Availability

I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can walk your dog 1-2 times per day, weather permitting, and will bring them out to potty multiple times in between walks and again before bedtime. I occasionally have to leave during weekdays for grocery runs and other errands, and on weekends I am in and out of the house a bit more frequently. Thus, I only accept bookings with dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time.

Safety, trust & environment

Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras — food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others. My dog really enjoys playing and will have no problem entertaining your dog as long as they get along. If your dog is scared or uncomfortable around my dog, I have a baby gate I can separate them with in another room. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave the house. Please not that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide.

Information Lauryn S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they are aggressive or reactive, how they do on walks, if they are potty trained and if there are any other behavioral issues I should know about. I do live in an apartment and generally only watch one dog at a time so it’ll just be me, Brandy and your pup during their stay.

A typical day

I work from 9AM-6PM on my laptop, so if your dog gets bored easily and doesn’t like to play with other dogs then please send them with chews or some form of enrichment to entertain them during the day. Otherwise, my dog will certainly play with them while I am working. After work, I can take them on a longer walk and offer a bit of playtime depending on my schedule for the night.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well.

Lauryn is very attentive and kept me posted about every detail of Mochi during the stay. I'm super happy with the experience and will reach out to Lauryn again if I need help.
