Introducing our newest team member, Lauren! ✨
Lauren is originally from Halifax, but has been living in Dartmouth for over a year now. She has a past in hairdressing, but recently decided it was time to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree! Her favourite way to take a break from the books is to go outside and spend time with dogs. As a child, her dream was to have a dog of her own. She spent many years caring for family & friend’s animals, as well as walking dogs at the SPCA. Finally, her dream came true when she got little Nick, her Yorkie (pictured). While Nick cannot live with her at this time due to rental restrictions, this leaves lots of extra love for her to give to your pups, and she can’t wait to meet them! 

Lauren will be covering walks part time, as well as providing overnight pet sitting in the client’s home, and cat care.

Welcome Charish, our newest Walker & pet sitter to the Gemstone Dogs team 💎!
🐾 Charish is from Cole Harbour where she grew up an animal lover with her grandparent’s family black lab Cloe. From a young age she was volunteering at whatever doggy day care would take the help, and has experience in a variety of settings, from shelters to clinics. She holds a diploma in Corrections and Law Enforcement where she previously worked in the security field. However, she has decided to return to school in the new year to take a Vet Technician program in honour of her Kitty, Theodore who she lost in 2023 to crystals. In her spare time you can find her playing with her Golden Retriever Winnie, Chihuahua Chewy and Kitten Eeyore. She looks forward to meeting you & your fur babies! Welcome, Charish.
