About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Through trial and error I learned what it’s means to have a friend and be a friend to our furry companions. During my navy career I’ve often been called upon to help my friends by looking over their pets and given there were long training or deployments I’d have to take them in temporarily as one of my own. I realized that they helped me as much as I helped them. I trained my baby since abandoned at four weeks old and from the beginning accident puddle of the floor I was able to established a firm and consistent behavior to communicate with the needs of animals. I obsess and research about animals so I can find a better way of conflicting matters such as behavior and diet. Trust is hard to earn. For repeating clients I can maintain a log of all activity from fun time to health monitoring. I can make a copy if needed for your own personal records. I currently work full time but given the state of the world I will soon be having more time dedicated to protecting and helping our fur babies. I care for my clients based on their specific needs and attention first. Whatever is left I am the type to nurture and protect as if they were one of my own. Is your pet afraid of thunder? Don’t worry, I will cuddle up with them to ensure them there is nothing to be afraid of. I know of essential oils and scents to help with anxiety and repel from making an accident. Did it fail? I have a remedy to ensure accidents are cleaned with no damage or odor. I enjoy animal photography so if your own anxiety is high. I will send constant photo and video updates to give goi peace of mind. Or something cute to post on your social media. We’ll have adventures and exercise to ensure they do not become restless.
“Our animals absolutely loved Lauren! This past week, Lauren came to our house to check on our cat Nyx (our dogs were already booked at their usual boarding location). Lauren also graciously brought in our mail, and made sure the house was locked up & safe. We felt very secure in knowing Lauren was checking on our home while we were away. We will definitely be requesting Lauren's help with future trips and dog/cat-sitting needs!”
