“Laura truly cared for my two dogs like they were her own. She was very attentive to their individual needs and quirks and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable with her. My one dog, Freddie, is fearful of new people and was initially skeptical of Laura. By the end of the week, she was easily his favorite human! It is a huge relief knowing your critters are well taken care of and well loved when you're away. She sent us regular photos and updates and was wonderful all around. Highly recommend!”

Hannah had no problems doing an extra meet and greet. She’s always putting best updates on Rover and sending me the best videos of my girl while I’m at work. I’m so thankful that Hannah can adjust to my night shift work schedule to be able to take Hadley out. It’s been the best thing throughout the stress of adjusting to a new puppy!”

20. Emily G.
About: Growing up I had two rambunctious black labs and helped care for each of them throughout my childhood, as well as several other family dogs. I have two cats in my own home who are my babies! I've looked after several animals for different friends of mine over the past few years from elderly cats to young puppies and great danes; as well as special needs animals, I'm willing to learn almost anything to help with health needs. I am a nanny from 8-5 Tues-Fri, I am more than happy to do evening walks, or check ins, or any other care that would work with these times! I am more than happy to meet your pet where they are at, whether they are pysched for a new friend, or nervous about the situation; I have an anxious cat myself and understand it can be intimidating to have a new person in your space! I'm comfortable going for walks in your neighborhood or transporting most pets to nearby parks for adventures.
