“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”
