“Lauren did a great job and made friends with my cats! My cats never let anyone besides me pet them and they did let her. I honestly thought she wouldn't even see them at all but they trusted her. She is a cat whisperer apparently. I would use her again!”



“Cheyanne watched my cat for a long weekend and was a delight to work with. She was very professional and responsible. She provided me with details of the stay and helped me out tremendously. I really appreciated her looking after our home and pet.”

About: I have always loved and been around animals my whole life. My grandparents had a mini farm and I would take care of my brother's dog when he would have to work. This care included walking, feeding, and bathing his dog. I also use to work part-time at Adams Farm Animal Hospital in Greensboro NC as a Kennel Attendant and Veterinary Assistant. I'm currently a full-time college student so I'll have time to take care of your pup whenever I don't have classes. I also work as a Dental Assistant Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. I’m still available during the week but I’m available all day all weekend. Though I stay in an apartment there are a lot of areas for your dog and me to go on long walks. My apartment complex also has a dog park. I can also crate your dog if you would like.

“We just moved here to NC and know no one. We were planning a trip to CT and could not find a cat friendly hotel. I found Laila on here and was a little iffy. NOT about her just me. I never trusted anyone watching my babies (cats). I am so happy I took a chance. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED her. She took great care of my babies. She spent time with them, played with them, and most of all treated them like they were her own. They LOVED her! I told my cats that she wasn’t coming today and they were very sad and moped all day. I would absolutely ask her again & recommend her to everyone.”
