This is my full time job—your animals. Both Checking in on the animals or staying overnight at your place for peace of mind. I’ve added my partner to my profile mainly for the dogs staying at our house he will help with letting them outside and breakfast. He’s also my back up if ever I were to be sick. I do probably more than 90% of the work with the animals—but we’ve BOTH passed Rover’s background check and do attend meet & greets together when schedules permit. **If you’re more than 1/2 hour out from Springfield I would request a mileage fee**

Laura and David are consummate professionals. We are lucky to have had them take care of our fur baby.

We were glad to have Laura care for our cats while we were away. It was a relief to know they had someone to look in on them, care for them, and give them some love while we had to be away. We appreciated the photos and updates very much!

Always love having Laura watch my babies. I can actually relax when I’m gone rather than worry about how they are doing!!
