“I want to send you our sincere gratitude for your service over the last 8 weeks. We have been pulled from home way too many times to count.

Without your amazing team, I really don’t know what we would have done.  Michelle is so kind and loving to our pups Koby, Max and Nala. Melissa fills in and doesn’t skip a beat.

Melissa noticed something with one of our pups and brought it to my attention.  I took him into the vet and sure enough he had an ear infection.

Michelle and Melissa have been awesome in helping us with medicine to get him healthy. We had a death in the family and had to travel out west suddenly and your whole team helped with the scheduling and coverage. 

That was one huge thing we did not have to worry about.  Katelyn in the office is so quick to respond to my info changes, scheduling or payment info and goes above and beyond to provide great service.

I know I have written before but I just wanted to tell you again after being a client for over 15 months, you have an amazing organization and I am very thankful for the way you run your business.~Tina Zamora, Sr. Technology Buyer @ Ingram Micro Inc. 5/21/18

Our goal at Laura’s Critter Care, LLC is to be your one stop source for all things pet related. Even if you do not have pets, we can look after your home while you are away.  We know that no two clients needs are exactly the same.  Unlike many kennels, pet and house sitting companies, we don’t charge extra for medications, mileage, late night and early morning visits or multiple pets unless you have more than five.  Because of this, our services are often more cost effective for owners of multiple pets. We will work with you to design a service package that suits the needs of you, your home and your pets.  The happiness and peace of mind of our clients is our #1 priority.
