Ratings and reviews
When we met Laura, she was fostering for our local animal shelter and we knew that she was exactly what we were looking for in a pet sitter. With a houseful of pets, some with special needs, we required someone experienced, trustworthy and a true animal lover. She deftly handled our insane crew; dispensing loving and gentle care & medication to those that needed it, and vigorous walks for the crazy dogs. She kept the house from appearing vacant and even swept up after our messiest litter box user. We got regular check-ins and some adorable pictures. Most of all we got peace of mind. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I have known Laura for many, many years and she is the person I trust my dog with. She has the same mindset as I do - that our pets are our family members, that they deserve all the love and kindness we can give them, and that it's our responsibility to give them the best lives ever. I have seen Laura take care of other people's pets in exactly the same trustworthy and loving way she takes care of her own. She also has experience with positive reinforcement training, which means she understands dog behavior and handles dogs with both that understanding and the kind of care I believe in. She is amazing.
