I was really worried to leave Benjamin, but Laura made me feel at ease. Her knowledge of reptiles was reassuring and I would 100% recommend Laura for the care of any of your scaly or furry family members.

Great communication and always takes such great care of Kona. Her dogs are also very friendly. It’s always a doggy vacation for Kona. Thank you!

Laura was absolutely wonderful! Our dog had just had a minor surgery and she was able to keep an eye on it for us, rewrap the spot that has stitches, and administer meds. She was super communicative! cannot recommend her enough!

Pets

A typical day

I would love to make sure your pet is given plenty of mental and physical stimulation as needed. I have training treats I can use to work on behavior reinforcement and go on long walks. For the older pets, sometimes lots of belly rubs and love is what they like best.
