About Me
My name is Lauren Charkowski and I have lived in the Ramsey-Mahwah area all of my life. After graduating St. Paul's School and Ramsey High School, I chose a career in nursing. Upon earning a nursing degree from Felician college, I worked in different area hospitals focusing on oncology and psychiatry.
    After I married, we moved right down the street from where I grew up. That was 28 years and 3 sons ago. I now work part time in a local school as an aide and I volunteer for RBARI and foster dogs for other rescue organizations. 
   Now that my children are grown, I have been given time to concentrate on the things that I love. I truly have the best job! What could be better than being outdoors, getting exercise, and meeting new friends both human and furry?     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Since I have lived in this area all my life, I want to care for local animals in my hometown where I am close by and available to my clients.  
  I believe leaving pets in their familiar enviorment is the best thing in most cases.  Not only is it less stressful for the pet but also for the owner.  Not having to deliver or pick up your pet from a kennel is a time saver. When you come home from your trip, your dog will be waiting to give you hugs and kisses and you can relax. Leaving your pets in your home means they will not be exposed to canine flu, viruses, and fleas.  Call or email me so we can meet and discuss your needs and your pets! "Cause furry tails DO come 
true!"
This is Ziggy. We fostered him until he was adopted out. He was returned for aggressive behavior amd was classified as "unadoptable."  We adopted him and have continued to work with him on his issues.  After lots of hard work, I am pleased to say, he is a good boy. We love ya, Zig!
