“Laura was awesome with our 2 cats. She paid close attention to any instructions/tips we gave her about care, and was efficient and kind during her visits. I was of course nervous to leave our cats, but now I would happily schedule her help again. Laura went above and beyond - asking if we needed plants watered, sending us pictures of the cats during each drop in… We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a comforting, professional and reliable pet sitter!”
