About: Updated 3/30/2025 Now booking for April! Booked: April 26-27, May 5- 15, June 6- 10, August 8- 13. Hi I’m Lauren, i haven lots of experience with different types of animals and I have a flexible schedule and I would love to book with you. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and for clients, a few years now. I grew up taking care a lot of family pets as well as cousins & neighbors pets. I have a 10 year old golden retriever that I’ve been taking care of since she was a puppy, and I’m happy to announce I have just recently adopted a stray kitten! I have foster experience with puppies and I also have experience house sitting for 7-14 days while caring for multiple dogs/pets. Will remove ticks from dogs and protect dogs from coyotes👍🏻🦮:) The way I typically do things is if you choose me for a meet & greet is I will come over a few weeks before the stay, introduce myself, let the pets check me out, and go over your pets care & routine. Then, a day or so before you leave I’ll come by and to pick up your key and if there’s any other questions or concerns we can address those then. Willing to change my schedule to be able to work with more cats! I try to accommodate for all clients Updated 10/15 overnight unavailable: Nov 5th - Nov 19th + December 1st -7th. I just moved into my first apartment this year so all the help I can get is very appreciated ☻ I follow instructions and try to make your pet happy while respecting your personal space and property. I’m used to being around dogs with unique needs and accommodating to the best of my ability.


19. Elizabeth M.
About: I have spent my whole life loving and caring for all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, snakes, turtles, rabbits, birds, you name it! I love animals and would love to care for yours :) I have a hybrid position at work, so I am in-office 3 days a week, but I have time outside of that to care for any animals that need it! I have a 3 year old Standard Australian Shepherd, Sunny and chunky cat named Mittens who I just adore! I care for them daily, feeding, playing, brushing, giving treats and training. I love training my dog Sunny to do cool tricks. I care for my sisters Maine Coon and tabby cat and my other sisters horses when they're away. I do my best to make sure they're comfortable and feel loved as though they are my own.

Love the pics, videos and updates she sends us all the time. Thank you Carrie for always being there for us and taking care of our babies.”
