Laurie did a great job. Kids seemed happy and content and house was tidy. We received pics and updates. Would definitely use Laurie again.

Laurie did a terrific job with my shy little kittie! Cinder received all of the playtime and affection I’d hoped she would, and didn’t seem to spend time hiding. Laurie sent me regular updates that out my mind at ease and made me smile, too. She would be a great sitter for anyone.

Laurie is reliable and took great care of our two dogs. She is great with problem solving and adapts very well with unexpected events. Laurie’s communication with us is quick and responsive. She is neat and left our house on perfect shape Our dogs loved Laurie and we look forward to using her again.

To whom it may concern: I have had Laurie watch my dogs for years. She loves animals and does a wonderful job caring for them. She treats my dogs like they are her own. Whenever I pick them up, she always gives me tidbits about the week expressing details about their personalities. I highly recommend her and am confident that any dog parents would be satisfied with her care.

Where do I begin to explain what a life savor Laurie was for me years ago when she took care of my dog for 3 months. My family had to relocate while rebuilding our house. Sadly the rental would not allow our dear black lab, Spanky to stay with us. We were blessed to have Laurie take care of our precious girl until we could move home. I always told my 3 kids that Spanky was their "big sister," since I had gotten her as a puppy 6 years before having kids. We were all very attached to her and missed having her with us. Laurie is compassionate and kind with a strong love for our four legged children. She goes to great lengths to make sure they get the best care possibly. Spanky lived like a queen and was very happy with Laurie. I will forever be in debit to her for the loving care she gave my baby. After Spanky died Laurie took care of our other 2 dogs while we would go on vacation. They too received royal care and were happy as could be with Laurie. I highly recommended her and am so appreciative of the service she provides. She is truly a great human being.
