Lauren is relaxed, reasonable and very reliable. She has been regularly walking our foreign rescue who’s not long been in the UK, Lauren adapts to our dogs needs without any bother. And always sends us photos. Highly recommend 💯 More...

We have used Lauren on a few occasions now to feed our cat whilst we have been on holiday. We really appreciate having somebody who we can trust to take care of her (and at sometimes such short notice! ) so we can focus on our family time with no stress or worries. Lauren is professional and reliable and we will continue to use her services. More...

Lauren recently did a pop-in visit for us, as we were going to be away from home for 7 hours, which was obviously way too long for our dogs. I was impressed with Lauren from the start, with her prompt response to our enquiries & keeping us well informed. She popped round for a meet & greet a couple of days before & was very patient with our rather nervous Rescue dog. Lauren did exactly what she had agreed to do on the day & even sent us a photo to show everything was fine. Our keys were also returned promptly. I have no hesitation in recommending Lauren & will definitely be using her services again as & when needed. More...

Dog Walking
Lauren is very much a 'professional' and I feel so fortunate to have found her. She walks 2 of my dogs without any other dogs joining in with 'my' pack. First of all my dogs were highly suspicious of her talking them away from me. After the first 2 walks, they trusted her implicitly and are now all over her when she arrives. Lauren is clearly an animal person, always on time, reliable, calm, dogs are washed off before being returned. I feel so fortunate to have found her. More...

I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. She has done a fabulous job walking my pack while I've been on holiday. I received daily updates with photos of their walkies which was very comforting as I was so far away. My guys thank you for your time and care while we were on holiday. I came home to very happy dogs 😁🤩 More...

Exceptional Dog Sitter Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Koda, to the care of Lauren while I was out of the country. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the professionalism and genuine love and care that she provided to Koda during my absence. Throughout my time away, the Lauren kept us updated with photos of Koda. These thoughtful gestures allowed me to feel connected and reassured that Koda was in excellent hands. Thank you once again to this incredible dog sitter for taking care of Koda as if he were her own. She has truly set the gold standard for dog sitting, and I will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for any future pet care needs More...
