I tend to spoil dogs.
Pet care experience
Dogs are way better than people. I have always had dogs in my life and always will. I have worked as a vet assistant and am knowledgeable in animal health. I interned at the Nashville Zoo in college and have worked with a variety of animals. I do have a coati, named Koda, but he stays in his enclosure when other pups are at my house. I have worked at a dog daycare. I have also fostered for a variety of rescues, including Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and Great Dog Rescue New England, over the years, but had to stop as my last foster pup become one of my own. I'm a foster failure. I am available nights and weekends for dog walking and drop-ins. I can host at my house anytime during the week. I've been working with a pet sitting company, but they haven't been as busy and I was hoping for some more dogs to hang out with. I have two very friendly dogs (Sadie and Rust) that live in my house that love playmates of all sizes. Your dog will probably end up a little spoiled. Feel free to ask me any questions.
Reviews
Always a breeze using Laura!
Always a breeze working with Laura! Great at sending updates. Would recommend her to anyone!
Laura was great. She was very communicative and easy to work with. Even sent a couple photos and a video of my dog while I was away.
Laura has been great with Bjorn both times he's had the pleasure of staying at her place. He bonded with her sweet dog Rust and I almost hated to tear the two of them apart. Laura sent me regular videos and photos of Bjorn during his stay, and he seemed to feel right at home with her. We'll definitely return. Thanks Laura!

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet
I would like make sure first that your pup is a friendly pup and will mesh well with my crew. I would like to know about your dog's personality so I know how they would rather spend their time with me, lounging or playing. I would also like to know about any medical conditions or odd quirks that your dog might have, so I am not surprised. I tend to worry about pups and don't want to bother you while you might be on vacation. I love all breeds, but I am a sucker for senior dogs.
A typical day
My oldest dog, Sadie, is a fetch addict, so we spend a lot of time out in the yard. We also do a nice 1/2 mile walk up to Riverside Village and back. Sadie is incredibly vocal and does a cranky old lady growl when she first meets pups but I promise you she’s a sweetheart. My younger dog, Rust, is super loungey so he will enjoy snuggling with pups of all sizes on the sofa or on the bed (but only on the pillows, he's spoiled). Our house is a pretty good time, but lower energy dogs work best with my two.
