Pet care experience
SET YOUR OWN RATES! Contact me with the price you're looking for and I will adjust my rates to accommodate you're needs. I took this job because I love animals, and their care, protection and happiness is more important to me then some check. I believe dogs are more then just pets, they are family, and I will protect, care for and love them like i do my own. I have experience as a veterinary technician, working in day hospitals, animal emergency clinics and even internships in Vet Teaching hospitals (OSU and CSU). I graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelors in Microbiology, and am currently unemployed with goals of obtaining my certification in Medical Laboratory Science. I adopted my very first dog, Lummy, 12 years ago, and she was my everything. Because of the knowledge and experience I have learned from previous jobs and schools, your dogs wont only be cared for and loved, but will be protected as well. I have experience and training in dealing with emergencies that require medical attention. I do not give dogs human food. I am experienced in administering medications to dogs and have tricks to make it more pleasant (for both me and the dog). If your pet has a medical condition that requires frequent or complicated care NO PROBLEM, I have experience with this and would make sure to keep you updated and record my actions. I am not afraid of being bitten, I do not believe in physical punishment, I have worked with and cared for aggressive dogs and am open to the idea of pet sitting/walking them as well. I don't mind cleaning up dog messes, and I will pick up poop. I can give your dog a bath and nail trimming, but it will cost extra. I can also do household cleaning for an additional fee as well. I am available for booking from now to the foreseeable future. Thanks!
Reviews
Laura was great with our brand new puppy! She stayed in our house for a half a day. Puppy had no accidents and Laura sent lots of photos w/ updates. We would 100% welcome her back into our home. Thanks Laura!
Laura was great. The dogs were happy and healthy when i returned. Laura updated frequently, brought more doggt bags when i ran out, and cleaned up after herself (as well as my mess). Thanks Laura!
Laura was awesome with our dog! We appreciated her thoughtful questions, ongoing communications, walking enthusiasm and love for dogs. Shel was prompt, clear and caring. We'd absolutely hire her again.
Laura is a big dog lover! She loves animals so much she is studying to become a Vet. She does great with dog sitting and taking care of their daily needs. She is a caring, loving, and responsible pet owner herself. Laura is very smart, reliable, and friendly with everyone.

I Love all animals. For dogs i will do potty breaks at least every two hours, more frequently if that is required, including walks (not just the backyard). I can properly administer medication, bathe, trim nails, and express anal glands for an additional fee. If your pet makes a mess, i will clean it up - Even carpet! I do not believe in physical punishment, but regardless i will not be punishing your pet in any circumstance, only love and cuddles.
Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences and will care for any type of dog in any condition, young or old, sick or disabled, hyper or aggressive, etc. I do ask though that you inform me of any personalities or behaviors that differ from the norm so both me and your pet are safe and comfortable. Also, please let me know of any sensitive areas the dog has (Like feet) where they dont want to be touched. Please inform me of any pertinent medical conditions and provide detailed instructions for scheduled meds or any thing else pertaining to their medical condition. Other things to mention that would help me optimize care for your pet include leash aggression, dog aggression and/or people aggression. Also if it is a female in heat or about to be, please provide the necessary supplies and instructions. If you have preferences about which types of treats to use and how many treats are given per day, then include it with your feeding instructions.
A typical day
I love exploring neighborhoods and parks for long walks, and with owners approval I could even do a trip to the dog park. I Love cuddling up with furballs and watching movies or reading books, I prefer having a four legged friend beside me (or on top of me) to scratch and pet while we relax. OF course, there is always play time! whether it be tug war or fetch or chase i'm in. I also enjoy teaching tricks to dogs. I trained my dog, Lummy, on my own and i'm proud to say she knows over 20 tricks (as well as leash trained, potty trained, etc). I would be glad to teach your dog a certain trick or continue any training you have already started to keep your dog's training consistent. Also, if there is any behavior you don't condone let me know so i too can discourage it (like jumping).
