Young, Active Dog Whisperer! - Lauren H.

Hi! My name is Lauren (aka dog lover). I signed up for this service as I am currently in the process of looking for a new job and have a lot of extra time on my hands. I live in a fairly large 5-bedroom apartment in lower Pac Heights with a small backyard. Our previous roommate had an Australian Shepard living with us so dogs are not a problem to our landlords. I come from a family that has always had two-three labradors at any given time. My parents, whom live in Walnut Creek and visit often, have two English Labs who are 3 and 4 years old. We are extremely active with our dogs (when I am home). We take them for two walks a day and live near Mt. Diablo where we take them running on many of the trails. I have always treated our dogs like children and have been nicknamed after my mom "the crazy dog girl" or "dog obsessed" by my friends. I truly love being around dogs and being active with them, especially hiking, running, or going to parks. I've had experience mostly with large dogs but open to any size! I am also open to meeting you and your dog first to see if they gravitate or not and decipher if a dog-sitting opportunity would work well. I look forward to hearing from you and your pup.
