Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority! I will make sure your dog is comfortable and safe according to your instructions before finishing the assignment, and will make sure to keep you posted with photos so you will not be worried.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or allergies, whether they are dog adverse, or whether they have a history of escaping their leash. I would also love to know what makes your dog special and unique.

A typical day

I understand your dog may miss you when you are away. I would love to play ball, throw a frisbee or squeaky toy, play tug-a-rope, walk him or her or just cuddle...whatever your pet enjoys most!

Highly Experienced & Dependable

Pet care experience

I have more than 4 decades of experience loving and spoiling dogs, including seniors, puppies, and those who have separation anxiety. I understand every animal is unique and work hard to get to know each pet well so I can provide the best care possible. I am comfortable administering eye/ear drops and oral medication. If you have a puppy, I am happy to reinforce potty training and basic skills with a positive and patient approach. I guarantee your fur babies will be cared for as if they were my own! Please note: I cannot accept any assignments where there is a snake in the home.

Laura was great with my 2 kitties, she went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable with her and I felt very safe knowing she was watching out for them.

It's clear she loves animals. Laura was very attentive to our dog, and constantly went above and beyond to make sure that he was not only taken care of but enjoyed the time he was with her.

Laura is a loving and responsible pet caregiver. She has raised plenty of cats. Never really without a cat in her life. And a doggo here and there. I think Carmella, her Shitzu, was the dog love of her life. Always taking that little sweetie for walks and having her on the couch for snuggling and pets. She loved my dog Raleigh the super mutt when he’d come over to play and see Carmella. She understood when Raleigh would drink out of the water bowl how he made it a fountain. She still loved him and took care of the mess. Always on top of seeing if any medical needs. Trying to take care of things responsibly. Making you aware if she thought there was anything to attend to. She would look out for anyone’s pet.

There is truly no one you would rather have caring for your pet than Laura. She loves them all whether they’re healthy and easy to care for or have problems that need tending to. You can be gone and have every confidence your pet will be in good hands.
