Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren, I am 31 and an experienced dog-sitter/walker. I have been dog-sitting since 2016, and I have previously owned 1 dog myself (a Patterdale/Staffy cross rescue).

What I offer your dogs:

Daycare: 

A meet and greet - happy to organise this in advance of your booking.

Stay with me anytime between 8am-6pm (outside these hours to be discussed).

2 x 30min walks minimum during the day and regular access to the back garden for play/toilet.

Mental stimulation - enrichment games and regular play.

Free roam of the downstairs of our house, and a secure medium-sized garden with new, 6ft fences.

Continuing any training plan you have with your dog.

A lot of cuddles and attention (if this is your dog's vibe!)

Overnight boarding:

As above but over a 24hr period, with another walk in the evening. 

House rules:

- All dogs must be house trained.

- Dogs are not allowed upstairs in our house, so dogs must be comfortable sleeping either in their own bed or their own crate downstairs overnight.

- Owners must drop off their dog's food/bed/toys/enrichment activities with their dog to last the duration of the time they are staying with me.

- Unfixed females: I do not accept bookings when she is in heat.

- Unfixed males: if they have a tendancy to mark indoors, this is not the place for them. 

Experience:

I traveled New Zealand for 12 months, dog and house-sitting around the country. I dog-sat for 11 dogs during this time and spent between 1 week to 3 months in each house at a time. I now petsit regularly for four clients, and can offer a safe space for more nervous dogs. 

I am very flexible as work remotely most of the time, and I am happy to discuss your needs so get in touch if you have any questions - I am sure we can work something out.

I really look forward to working with you and your dog(s)!
