I couldn’t be happier with the care Ellie received! From the moment we met, it was clear that Laurie truly loves animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Ellie felt comfortable and happy while I was away. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Ellie warmed up quickly and was clearly well-loved and well-cared for during the entire stay. I would absolutely book with Laurie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

Laurie and her family were great. She gave us regular updates and sent pictures. Our dog Astro was very comfortable in her house and enjoyed his stay

Our 9-year-old chihuahua can be a little picky about people, but she adores Laurie Gorby! She’s patient, kind, and always makes sure our girl feels loved and comfy. It’s so nice having someone we completely trust. Her updates and photos give us peace of mind every time we’re away. Highly recommend Laurie!

Our puppy's name is Sophie... she is a terror!!! My husband and I had to attend a memorial out of town, and we didn't think we could find anyone to take care of her for us. A friend at work told me about this lady Laurie who dog sits... so I call her and told her she was highly recommended to us... then I told her our dog's bread... most people after hearing do this sigh and then and then a long ohhhh.... Sophie is a BOXER... a bounce of the wall, slime you up with wet kisses Boxer... she wiggles and bends and can jump as on a spring... A bundle of high energy and joy Boxer!!! All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! We WILL be back.... and thanks to your hubby and sweet daughter too!!!!! The Oldays

AS I RESIDE IN MARYLAND, BUT VISIT A FRIEND FREQUENTLY IN FLORDIA, I AT TIMES NEED A CAREGIVER FOR MY DOG WHEN I GO ON TRIPS TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS OF INTEREST. MY FRIEND RECOMMENED LAURIE GORBY, WHO HAS PROVIDED CAREGIVER SERVICES FOR THEIRSELVES AND SOME OTHER OF THEIR FRIENDS DOGS SEVERAL TIMES. I TRIED LAURIE AND FOUND THAT SHE GAVE MY DOG VERY GOOD CARE. SUCH AS, TAKING HIM WALKS, GIVING HIM HIS NEEEDED MEDICATIONS, FEEDING HIM, AND SENDING ME PICTURES AND DAILY UPDATES OF HIS BEHAVIOR AND HIS ACTIVITIES. I AM VERY SATISIFIED WITH LAURIE'S CAREGIVING AND GIVE HER ALL MY BUSINESS.
