Lauren specializes in Positive Reinforcement by using a stress-free, gentle and holistic approach to help calm and relax each pet in her care. Pets are just like children and each have their own personalities and deserve an individualized approach to their daily care and well-being.

Lauren is ecstatic to relocate, expand her business and be near the glorious mountains in Colorado. In her free time she enjoys being in nature, live music, hiking, swimming, gardening, avid antique and vintage collecting, cooking and exploring gluten free cuisine, and incorporating a holistic, chemical, and toxin free lifestyle for herself and the pets in her care.
