“When Jenna came for the meet and greet, I could tell she'd be just right for my dogs. The pictures she took and the texts she sent proved me right. I have a 50 pound Beagle-Lab mix, and a 65 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, and Jenna was relaxed and gave them lots of attention and my dogs responded in kind.”

I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement.

It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. When I was in college, my boyfriend, now husband adopted our first cat together and he lived until he was 13. Being a male cat, he ended up needing surgery for a urinary blockage and I remember as two young broke college students, I said I would do anything to pay for it. He was like my child and he was so young and had so much life left. Thankfully, we did the surgery and he lived many more years. Since him, we’ve adopted three more cats and a dog which we currently have now. I just love animals especially cats. I am currently not working and would love to keep busy by caring for and playing with cats and dogs while my children are in school. I can feed and play with your cats or let your dog out to do their business. I can put your dog back in their crate if needed. I will be the perfect companion for your pet while you are away!

What would we do without lovely Jocelyn to care for our pups as if they were her own? She loves animals and is always kind and warm and professional in her work. It is clear that she is a natural with animals and our dogs love her. She always sends us updates and lets us know know how it is going, one they are outside paying and when they've eaten and are down for the night and up in the morning. She is a treasure!
Tristen was great with my cat Sheddy. She tends to be on the shy side and doesn’t come out for strangers. Tristen was super patient with her and always managed to get a picture of her. I felt at ease knowing Sheddy was in good hands. I will definitely reschedule with Tristen for my next vacation!

This is our second time leaving our Chloe with Laura for our wedding weekend and she has been incredible! She was able to bring our dog to our ceremony so our dog could be the ring bearer, took care of her all day and even brought her to our Airbnb the next morning!! We are so happy be found her, she’s very responsable, sends updates with pictures and I can tell our dog already loves her! Would highly recommend hiring Laura to take care of your furry ones!!!
