Patricia O. says:
Laurel is lovely. She is warm, personable, skilled, and for these very anxious clients, a terrific teacher. We have a shy cat with kidney disease and need to hydrate him. My husband and I were quite anxious and were sure our cat was too. She gave us useful information about our cat's temperament and the most efficient way to do the procedure. We learned where to begin the hydration, the best way to hold all... More

John L. says:
I have an Aussie with a medical "challenge" that I wanted day visits for. With most sitters they couldn't get how serious the condition was and took things for granted. Not Laurel! With her background as a tech, she knew exactly what I was talking about and how to cope with it, keeping him safe.

She leaves daily updates and communicates wonderfully.

The proof is in the pudding too, I come home at night...

Julie B. says:
Laurel was one of the first respondents to my ad for pet sitting (9 dogs) and her profile is impressive. She just completed her first pet sitting job for us and we are blown away with her skills, attention to detail and the care she gave the dogs. She stayed about 2hrs each day just playing/walking the dogs, she brought them high end treats, and even left a daily diary of her visits-she also texted me each day... More

Susan A. says:
Laurel stayed with our 2 great danes and cat while we spent a week at the beach. Laurel was exceptionally good with my danes, especially my unruly 15 month old puppy. She gave us regular updates on how/what they were doing which was an incredible relief to us as we have had pet sitters in the past where we couldn't get in touch with them for days at a time. When we got home, I was very pleasantly surprised... More

David D. says:
We arranged to have Laurel to me us at the house to see our pets that needed watching while we were in Outer Banks on vacation. We were both very comfortable with her the minute we met her. She has great experience with all type of animals. We were leaving her to care for our 4 birds, gecko, 3 dogs, 2 cats and fish. (This year we took our 8 month old Goldendoodle with us to OBX, so she just had the 3 Papillons).
