My dog is completely obsessed with Lauren and Tiny Dog Dancers! When I first stumbled upon Tiny Dog Dancers, I thought it would be a great temporary solution to make sure that my dog would continue to get socialized during lockdown. I thought we could try it out for just a couple months, but quickly came to realize how valuable weekly hikes with Lauren were to my pup's happiness, health, and well being. Three years later, we're still going strong. Small dog pack hikes (honestly never even knew this was a thing before Tiny Dog dancers) add so much joy to my dog's life. Every week, when Lauren pulls up with her backseat full of ecstatic small pups, my dog absolutely loses it with excitement to join the fray. She comes back a few hours later (sometimes covered in mud) and is happily exhausted for the rest of the day. Lauren sends photos after every hike, and it's so cute to see all the dogs looking thrilled in their element. Lauren is not only clearly beloved by every dog of Tiny Dog Dancers, but she is also just so great to work with as a professional and as a person. She is incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and really gets small dogs. She's excellent with reading their cues, understanding their needs. Like a true pro, she also helps to reinforce important dog training components like recall and playing well with others. I always trust that my dog will be happy and safe in her care, whether she's going on a hike with the Tiny Dog Dancers or spending a week with Lauren while we go out of town. I highly recommend Tiny Dog Dancers to any small dog lover who is looking to add regular socialization, stimulation, and exercise into their pup's life! read more

These hikes have been the best decision I've made since adopting my pup, Stevie. All I have to do is mention Lauren's name, and Stevie perks up and starts licking me with excitement. He runs to her with his little tail wagging and comes home happy and ready for a nap. The best part is Lauren sends pics from the hike *EVERY TIME* so I can see where the pack went and the fun they had--some of these pics are frame-worthy! The hikes give Stevie the opportunity socialize with other dogs, learn positive behaviors, release energy, and he even made a best friend in the pack (hello, Artie!). Most importantly, I trust Lauren with Stevie -- she is reliable, flexible, knowledgable, and such a great human being. I am happy she and this adorable group of Tiny Dog Dancers are in our world. read more

My dog, Pocket, loses her mind with happiness when Lauren shows up. She absolutely loves her hikies with the Tiny Dog Dancer crew. It's a great way to ensure she stays healthily socialized with other dogs and it's also a nice way for me to get some errands done while I know Pocket is out having fun. Win win! read more

Tiny Dog Dancers - Tunechi!! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Lauren is so great! We are so so glad we found her and can trust her with our pup. Lauren stayed with our border collie for two weeks while we were traveling. Our dog enjoyed the hikes, cuddles and all the love from Lauren. We received daily pictures/ videos of our pup and knew he was in good hands. She also takes our dog on occasional walks and our dog has the best time with Lauren and her pack. She takes her pack on nice long trails and makes sure they get hydrated. It feels like every time our dog is with Lauren, he is at summer camp. We would 100 % recommend her services! read more

Our dog perks up and races to the door the minute he hears Lauren's car arrive to pick him up for a hike. I've never seen such big dog smiles as in the pics Lauren sends us after the hikes. Our pup returns well exercised and calm for the rest of the day. read more

We are so lucky to have found Lauren and Tiny Dog Dancers. Artie was a bit of a timid and unsure pup before starting Tiny Dog Dancers. Lauren and her pack helped him blossom into a self-assured and confident dog. Lauren is incredible. She runs the pups in a variety of off-leash settings, always has an eye for safety and of course fun. She genuinely cares for the dogs' well-being, is flexible, reliable, and professional. We get sweet photos for every walk. Don't know what we'd do without her! read more

We love Tiny Dog Dancers!!! We have a not so tiny puppy and he has been so happy and tired when he comes back from his hikes. It is great for dogs of all ages because of the exercise and socialization with the other dogs in the "pack" Our puppy is always picked up and dropped off in a timely manner and after each adventure, we get a personalized report and pictures of how he did that day. We are so happy with Lauren and would recommend to anyone that wants a very responsible, fun and supportive dog hiker. read more

Lauren is a treasure. She has been taking our dogs for several years, and they LOVE HER. We do too! She is reliable, flexible, and seems to genuinely enjoy her "Tiny Dancers." She always sends pics after each walk, and you can see how much fun they are all having. So glad we found her! read more

Lauren is fantastic! You can tell she knows a ton about dogs and how to care for each personality. Lauren took our dog for runs in the woods or at the beach and I loved knowing he was getting proper exercise and social time. She sent regular updates with cute pics and even let us know when she thought his poop was "off". Our dog can be a little hard to handle and I appreciated that Lauren kept him on a lead until they developed trust with recall. Count yourself lucky if Lauren has space for your pup! read more

Lauren is a truly amazing dog walker. Our pup always came home super happy and tired. I would happily recommend her services to anybody.

Lauren is one of the most trustworthy and genuine people I've ever met! She truly loves and cares for all dogs and is so great with them. She is constantly working on making things better and correcting behaviors as needed. The differences you see are clear. She makes sure your dog is really truly taken care of and is happy. No one better to take care of your pups other than Lauren! read more

Lauren is fantastic. She takes the dogs on fun little adventures that my dog absolutely loves. At the end of the day you get a series of adorable pics of your pup and all his little dog friends having a blast. While I'm working, my dog is living his best life. I may even get a little jealous. She's also well priced and extremely flexible. I also think this has helped my dog do really well off leash when I take him on hikes. read more

Tiny Dog Dancers - A fun dog adventure. - Dog Walkers Near Me

I found Lauren out on the trails running other people's dogs. She was so happy and the dogs were having so much fun, that I asked for her contact info. My own dog was very reluctant to go with the previous walker. But with Lauren, he runs to the door and is super excited to leave with her. Lauren sends pics after each walk, goes to a nice assortment of different places and the dogs all enjoy playing off leash. She's my favorite dog walker of all the walkers I've used in the past 8 years. But most importantly, she is my dog's favorite too! read more

I am so happy to have found Lauren! My 4 year old, 30lb, athletic dog, Stella, is a remarkably happier creature since joining Lauren on mid-week nature hikes. Wag walks just are not enough for most dogs; they have a deep need to be in nature, -- sniffing, chasing things, being off leash, and playing with other dogs. I started off supplementing Wag walks with Lauren's nature hikes twice a week and soon after seeing the effects, upped it to 3 times a week. It's made a huge difference in my dog's attitude (and in mine!). Stella is more attentive, more comfortable around other dogs, and I get to come home to a satisfied little cuddle-bug rather than a nervous ball of cooped up energy. I've got peace of mind while at work, knowing Stella is going to have an awesome time, get home tired, and sleep contentedly for hours. Lauren knows how to group dogs together by energy level and personality so they all get their needs met on every run. She's a consummate professional and knows a ton about dogs. Do yourself a favor and gift your dog some nature hikes. read more

Lauren is a true dog lover. She goes out of her way to take our dog to places that she loves to play (i.e. anyplace with water). Every walk we get to see photos of our happy dog romping around had having a blast outdoors. Lauren is easy to work with, accommodating and very responsible. Highly recommended! read more

I was having two major problems with my dog Sofi and Lauren helped correct my behavior to better communicate with my dog. I was having trouble with sofi pulling on the leash and she would lunge and bark profusely at other dogs. Lauren suggested two simple gentle techniques that started to correct my dogs behavior almost instantly. But of course you have to reinforce the techniques daily with repetition. Lauren has a great grasp on dog psychology and she is a gentle and patient dog walker. Her professional guidance allowed me to be more calm and confident which in turn allowed my dog to reflect the same qualities. It's also very apparent that Lauren has a great sense of humor, she loves to exercise, she enjoys her work and she loves animals. This ensures that when your dog is hanging out with Lauren not only do they respond to her naturally but they're going to get a good work out and have a lot of fun. I'd highly recommend Tiny Dog Dancers to anybody. Thank you Lauren. You rule! -- Ryan read more
