Laurie is a great asset to any family searching for the perfect dog walker, sitter, etc. She is extremely reliable, responsible and timely. Laurie has a true love for animals and people of all ages and sizes and you can tell dogs immediately react wonderfully to her. She takes care of our dog Parker as if she was her own. Any directions I leave for her (feeding, walking, etc.) are always completed and done thoroughly. Parker absolutely loves going on walks with Laurie or to see her when she comes over. I think she gets more excited to see Laurie than my husband and I haha. Laurie always gives Parker fresh water after her walks and tons of kisses. She is fully capable of walking our 50lb. dog (that does try and pull) and is always promptly on time to walk her or watch her. Laurie takes her job very seriously and will have both your and your dogs best interest in mind always. You can be rest assured your loved one will be safe and cared for while you are away or at work!
