We have used Latch Key Pets since we adopted our first dog 14 years ago. The owner, Laura, came for the required pre-visit and our dog fell in love with her. Since then, we adopted another dog, who isn't interested in most people except us, and loves Laura. Laura and her team truly care for dogs, and other animals, and always go above and beyond. She lets us know how our dogs are doing when we are away and cleans up after then if they have been sick, even bringing them to the vet if needed. Superb service and highly recommend.

This was our first experience leaving our 2 dogs home with a dog service. We were a little nervous and Laura put us at ease right at the start. The dogs were well cared for and we received pics and updates during the week. Laura and here workers went above and beyond by watering flowers, vacuuming, washing dishes etc. It is so nice to know someone we can count on to take care of our dogs.

Latch Key Pets has been our cat sitter for many years now and there is no one that my wife and I trust more to take care of our pride. The level of interaction with our cats keeps them very happy when we are away. They make sure that all the food, water and litter are fresh which for 6 cats is quite a task! Latch Key is very clear on what dates they are needed and are very flexible in scheduling.
If there is an emergency and we can't get home in time, Latch Key will be there to make sure that they are taken care of regardless. Wonderful people that truly love what they do. It will be a sad day if we ever have to move. Highly recommended!

We have used Latch Key Pets now exclusively for years. Laura and her crew are experienced, caring, reliable and responsible. We use them for daily walks, overnight stays and vacations. I no longer have anxiety about being away knowing how well they take care of our pets. Our dogs love them too. They always get so excited to see Laura. They know that good things are about to happen. A walk, a cookie and lots of hugs!
Their rates are very reasonable for the services, reliability and, most importantly, the peace of mind you get in return. Priceless! We wouldn't consider using anyone else. They take care of your pets as if they were their own. Thanks Laura and crew for all you do!
