Policies & Procedures: -I require a meet and greet for all new clients. During our meet & greet, we’ll review your expectations of what you expect to be done during our bookings. (Food schedules, medication, litter, harness/leash location, etc.) -Coordinate access points: Please have spare keys or door codes prepared by our meet & greet date. We’ll also discuss the preferred method for key return. -For dogs without free yard access, I require a minimum of 3-4 drop-in visits per day if I’m the only one providing care during a 24-hour period. (Dependent on how long they can go without potty breaks) Cancellation Policy: One Day: Clients get a full refund if they cancel by noon the day before the stay starts. For Safety Reasons: -I do not take any dogs to the park regardless of their size, breed, temperament, age, etc. -I do not accept walks after sunset.

We are so happy to have found Laura! Our cat got lots of playtime and engagement while we were gone and we received the right amount of information. (Eg when she had a hairball or didn’t finish her food.) I appreciated feeling like we knew how she was doing.

Laura has done great with our pets for the 3 times we have used her. She follows instructions and makes sure to give all the pets love. She even is willing to deal with our senior dog with all her medical issues

This was the first time I used the rover app. I was a little nervous having someone I don’t know - come to my house and watch my 3 cats. We picked laura based off previous incredible reviews as well as the fact she would come before we left to meet/greet the kitties. And I am so thankful we picked Laura! She sent me such detailed updates of what she did while at my house, the activities she did with the cats, and what the cats did while she was there. Not only these amazing updates but numerous photos of my cats to keep my heart happy while I was away from my babies. Another worry of mine was the fact two of our three cats are pretty shy and don’t always come out when others come to the house. But Laura got all the kitties to come out, eat treats, play and even got to give belly rubs to the one that was the most shy. I would 100% recommend Laura to others and will definitely be asking her back next time I need someone to watch the kitties again. She was incredible!
