You can trust Lauren with your furbabies. When we first moved to Austin two years ago, we had two senior dogs and she has always taken great care of them. When we added a third dog, a scaredy-cat dachshund, he immediately took to her. Lauren takes the pups for nice long walks, gives good advice when we are having issues with them, and has always been able to dog-sit when we need to be out of town.

We are so lucky to have met Lauren! She always takes excellent care of our Dachshunds, Abby and Simon, while we are traveling. Lauren is dependable and trustworthy. Additionally, it was comforting to know our little ones were in good hands with Lauren. I can they have a special bond and love their time with her. I highly recommend The Sporty Dog! Thank you so much, Lauren!!!

Lauren came via a glowing recommendation from a friend and she truly lived up to it! She was able to visit the house before we scheduled anything so she could meet our dogs and we could talk to her about each dogs personality and special needs. Upon first visit the dogs really took to her and it was obvious she cared a lot about animals. I have really high expectations when it comes to communication and Lauren's communication is exceptional. She's so responsive to questions and requests, and when she visits the dogs I get a full report on who pottied, peed, drank, ate. She sends lots of pics and it makes me feel so good knowing my pups are getting some extra love while I'm out. She's truly a wonderful, professional dog sitter!
