1. Laura D.
“Laura has been caring for our pets for several years and we HIGHLY recommend her if you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as well as you do. She’s amazing with our two large dogs who are always thrilled to see her, and even our shy cat comes out when she’s around! She goes above and beyond to make sure every animal’s needs are met and that each has received their fair share of head scratches and belly rubs. Laura is a true animal lover and we are so lucky to know that our pets are always in good hands with her!”
