About Laura H.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet parents appreciate my professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, quirks, and favorite routines. You can always count on me for clear communication, daily updates, and adorable photo check-ins. I’ve built lasting relationships with clients who know their pets are in trusted, loving hands — and I’m honored to be part of so many furry families’ lives.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know as much as possible about your pet's health and if they have any special needs. I am also interested in hearing about their likes, dislikes, and triggers.

A typical day

I put a lot of thought and care into each walk and visit. I like to change the route we walk to keep it exciting for the pup. I also try to walk back to the home from different directions so your pet always knows how to get back to their home. Some days it's a Pup's Choice Walk! Those walks your dog chooses are route and I have to follow wherever they lead me! It's so fun to find out where they would go with all the decisions left totally up to them! And I think it's important for them to know their opinions matter to me. I like to say I am walking with your dog rather than I am walking your dog. I also make great effort to give your dog as much exercise as possible in the time we have together. This keeps them healthy and in shape, reduces stress, and can keep them out of trouble! When we're not on a walk I absolutely love to play with dogs. I have a blast with dogs playing. Whether we're playing with toys, playing hide and seek, play bowing to each other and setting off zoomies, etc. I know we're both having the best time and creating a bond!

Pets

Experienced. Reliable. Loving Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Laura — a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of professional pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have been a pet mom to dogs, hamsters, horses, fish, and a turtle. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or a critter with special needs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I love taking great care of these precious pets and their families that love them so much! I’m Red Cross certified in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid, and I have extensive experience giving medications — including insulin injections — so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I have attended the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior and completed the Dog Trainer Foundations course. I believe pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat I care for like one of my own. From long walks and playtime to quiet companionship and snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll keep your pets comfortable, cared for, and smiling. 🐶🐾🐱 Reliable. Certified. Experienced. Most of all — pet-obsessed!

Laura has been taking care of dogs for some time now. She has cared for many dogs. She has been a part of my pugs lives for many years. She is loving, caring, timely and professional. She was there for us when we had to put our Finnegan to rest. We now have a new pug Seamus that Laura cares for. Laura has been reliable, playful and attentive with our dogs. Laura would be a great asset to your team. We would 100% recommend Laura.
