Laura was awesome! I didn't win my golf tournament today, but at least I only had one thing to blame: my golf game. Knowing Bravo was safe and happy made the day a whole lot less stressful. Bravo can be a bit particular about his people, and he gave Laura his stamp of approval almost immediately. Either she's a natural with dogs, or he was hypnotized by the red hair. I'm still investigating. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and let me enjoy my round without wondering if my dog was plotting his escape or teaching the neighborhood squirrels bad habits. If you're looking for someone to watch your dog, Laura is fantastic. Five stars from me and two paws up from Bravo.

I had her watch my poodle, she was so caring, and always sent pictures and videos, I think she’s a super good person! Definitely a good watcher of dogs and I would hire her again. Laura is the best!

Laura is a great dog sitter—she’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. She took amazing care of my two dogs and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell my dogs were happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
