Laura is a responsible, caring, loving person and dog caregiver. Her background as an animal science major from the University of Tennessee, Cincinnati Zoo seasonal employment and most recently an animal ambassador for Portland Zoo has given her so much experience to care for your dog! She is trustworthy and reliable-- your dog will be in great care if you choose her to watch your dog! Everyone loves their dog-- and Laura will love your dog just as much as you do!! She is the BEST!

Laura is a dependable and trustworthy caregiver for your pet! She has walked our 10 year old chocolate lab, Henry. This worked out perfectly, as our dog easily stresses in dog parks and doggy daycares. Laura always made me feel that he is loved and cared for the same way I would. She has an amazing animal background and has a lot of valuable knowledge to share. I would not hesitate in recommending Laura for your pet's needs.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I am not looking to provide sitting services in my home. With that said, I would be happy to bring over dogs I am watching that enjoy swimming, for an afternoon, as there is a large (private and clean) pond on my property. I am happy to discuss details on an individual basis. If your pup plays well with others, I love going to the dog park or taking dogs with me on hikes!

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences here! I would like to know how your dog/pet responds to other animals and people- and of course their favorite treats, toys, and sleep spots!

A typical day

I am happy to walk your dogs around your neighborhood or take them to a local dog park when applicable. If you have a fenced in yard, I will play (fetch, tug-of-war etc) with your dogs on every potty break throughout the day in addition to the agreed upon daily exercise - if there is not a fenced in yard, I will take extra time to walk around the area to ensure your dogs get a little exercise and time outside. I'm all about the scratches! You can be sure that your doggie will get plenty of lovins while you are away! And don't worry, we will be sure to send photo updates!
