Laura is amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her from the start. You can truly tell how much she cares for and loves the animals she works with. She has such great energy, and my pups were always excited to see her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely continue to use her for my fur babies. Highly recommend!
Kirk has been an amazing weekly walker for our dog Scout over the past few months. He is professional, compassionate, and reliable. Scout is nervous around most people and Kirk takes the time and care to make him feel cared for. Kirk always provides excellent updates from our walks. And I have peace of mind knowing that Kirk takes care of our dog like we do when we are at work. Thank you so much, Kirk!
