I highly recommend The Friendly Pet Sitter to anyone looking for a less stressful and more reliable alternative to kennel services.

My travel schedule required me to be away from home for a few days at a time, two to three times a month. For more than a year, I was boarding my black lab in a kennel.

After a year of this routine, Hannah had gained a significant amount of weight from the sedentary lifestyle of the kennel and was beginning to exhibit some behavioral issues as well.
Concerned, I searched for other options and found The Friendly Pet Sitter.

With Laura’s daily dog walking, Hannah quickly got back in shape. Additionally, she did an excellent job reinforcing basic commands with Hannah that she was starting to slip on. 

I never boarded Hannah again.

I highly recommend The Friendly Pet Sitter to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker. Laura was extremely flexible to my schedule— always able to handle my travel delays, etc. Hannah liked her a great deal and I never went on a trip concerned about her well-being.

Thanks for taking such good care of our Muffin. Your daily journal was very informative. It was very helpful to know how Muffin reacted after we left, and how she adjusted. I thought about making notes on your journal and sending them to you, but you have figured out Muffin’s behavioral patterns very well.

~ Richard

Thank you for the time, love and care that you gave both our animals and our home while we were away. This was our first pet sitting experience, and you made it so warm and comfortable. Words cannot express how great it feels to have someone that we can trust with two of the things that mean the most to us... our animals and our home!

We loved the photos & got quite the chuckle from your narratives. We found the journal most interesting! 

You are very thorough, with great attention to detail. Jason & I both want you to know that we admire your work, appreciate everything you have done, and look forward to working with you for years to come!

Our Best,

Shay & Jason

We can't thank you enough for your excellent care while we were away. Roscoe is much happier and healthier for it! The pics you sent were great!!

Thank you for keeping Munch & Priss for me. Brian's wedding was a lot of fun—but I still missed my babies! The notes you left were great and I can see both dogs were spoiled!

Love,

Thank you so much for your caring, thorough service. We are very impressed with your professionalism and ability to provide top quality service for our babies. It makes us feel totally at ease knowing you are available to take care of them when we need you. I really think they miss you!!! They probably had a better time with you than they do with us!

~ Jeannine

We want to convey the high degree of satisfaction and trust that we have developed with Laura over the past year of our affiliation. Both my wife & I are very selective in the arrangements that we have chosen for our two dogs in the past & were tentative upon moving to a new city.

Upon meeting Laura during our consultation, her professionalism towards her business & true care for the well-being of animals became apparent and we have been thoroughly pleased.

Laura has provided trustworthy and loving care for the dogs. Her inclusion of daily journals has been an added bonus and testament to her comprehensive care. 

We would recommend The Friendly Pet Sitter without reservation for daily or overnight care.

~ Chris & Meredith B.

The journal was fantastic; it made me feel your visits. I cannot believe that Em sat in your lap… she has never done that for us.The kids were happy and healthy when we got home.
Thank you for being here for us and them.

Laura—

Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of Sara & Murphy. Your services are invaluable. Do you have some business cards I can share with fellow pet owners?

Take care,

Thank you for caring for our bunch of guys and gals! We want to give you full payment without discount for your service—finding someone we can trust these days is very difficult.
Thanks again,
