Your dogs' second Best Friend
Welcome, thanks for stopping by!
Hiya, I'm Lauren
I've been a dog lover for my whole life, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I have had three yellow labs throughout my toddler days through to my young adult years, and am currently the (proud) slave to Ms. Lucy Goosey; the Queen of the House, and boy does she know it!✨👑
I started as a Sitter and Dog Walker through Rover, and have now decided to venture off and start my own Dog Care business;
Lab Tested Dog Care.
I graduated in Oct. of 2024 with a Bachelor's Degree in Film and Media Production, which means photos and videos are definitely my thing, so please expect lots of visuals while you are away!
With a Red Cross First Aid + CPR Certification
specifically for Dogs, a First Aid kit and fresh
cold water carried on every walk, and a
fully registered and insured business, please
know that your furry family member will be in
loving hands.
Lab Tested Dog Care is a Queer PAWsitive
business. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Safe for all Humans and all Pups.
Services
Our services are designed to meet the unique needs of every pet. We walk 7 days a week; early to late mornings, mid day to early evenings and up to 11pm at night on weekends! From daily visits to overnight stays, we provide a range of services to ensure your pets are happy and healthy in your absence.
All services come with a complimentary 'Meet + Greet' to make sure we are the best fit. No downpayment or commitment necessary.
We walk in rain, shine or snow, because your pup's counting on me to go!

Overnight Stays + 'Babysitting'
Loving care and companionship for your pets while you're away
Overnight housesitting: Care in the clients' home, so your pup is comfortable in their own space. Includes 3 half hour walks throughout the day, every day, and a quick 'splash and go' walk before bed.
Please note; I have regular walking clients, Monday-Friday and will be out of the house during the day.
'Babysitting': This service is for pups with separation anxiety, that need to be alone for an extended period of time; maybe on a Friday night while their humans are out at a party. This care includes 40mins of outside exercise; could be one long walk or two shorter walks, humans can decide! This is complete care where I stay with your pup the whole time for the amount that you chose, up to 6hrs.
Our complimentary Meet and Greet is a great time to let me know the maximum time your pup can be home alone during the day. They are absolutely my biggest priority while housesitting, and I will schedule my walks around checking in on your pup.

Dog Walking
Dog walking services are offered in a "splash a go" walk, and 30min or hour increments.
I only offer solo walks, or multiple dogs in the same household to make sure I can give the individual love and attention that your pup needs and deserves.
I carry a big backpack with cold water, a Red Cross First Aid kit with specific supplies for dogs, a couple of extra leashes for emergency harness or collar slips and lots of love, praise and treats!
Please note: For insurance purposes, I do not let any dog in my care off-leash; even if your pups' recall is immaculate. I carry a 30ft leash with me on all walks which gives them more space to roam around and do what dogs do.
Please note: Lab Tested Dog Care schedules walks and drop-ins on a window time frame. Please allow a 1-2 hour window based on the time you have chosen.

Every bit of love and support from the LTDC pack give me the zoomies!

"My dog loves Lauren! She has house sat for us twice and it's been great each time. Thank you Lauren!"
Elliott P.
"Lauren is A+! Absolutely attentive and caring, as well as very communicative. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Andrea F.
"Lauren is a great walker! She absolutely loves dogs and our very reactive Sheepadoodle warmed up to her faster than he has with any new walker. Lauren is also reliable, punctual and a great communicator. Would definitely recommend her!
Theresa H.
"Lauren gives me peace of mind and that makes my life so much easier. Thank you."
Sheryl A.
"I can't say enough great things about Lauren! She is absolutely wonderful with my dog, and I always feel at ease knowing he is in such caring hands. She sends me regular updates and makes sure he gets all the attention and exercise he needs (bonus points for the awesome pictures she snaps of him) Her flexibility is also a huge plus, always accommodating my schedule whenever possible. It's clear she genuinely loves what she does, and my dog adores her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker."
