Lifelong pet owner with remote job

Pet care experience

I have had animals my whole life and get so much joy from spending time with them. From breeding and raising Cairn terriers as a kid to taking several large dogs through obedience school, they gave a love for animals that will never go away. We also had many cats and horses (I still own a tack shop to this day!). Since my business is in another state, I travel regularly and therefore have not gotten any pets of my own (yet), but I love to sit for my friends animals and figured I might as well offer services on this platform to hopefully enjoy more 4-legged friends. I will care for your pets just like I would care for my own. I am an avid runner/hiker and also live right across the street from a large park that is great for walking and playing.

Laura was super easy to communicate with as a host. She had a little back yard that I'm sure Basqy enjoyed and took him for walks around the lake across the street. Can definitely recommend her as a host. Her place is easy to find and not far off the path to the airport.

Laura is an amazing pet sitter. She checked in with me often and followed all of my directions. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her for a week. I highly recommend her.

Laura took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pics and updates of all their activities. It was great knowing he was well cared for while I was away!

Laura was accommodating and took good care of Koda. She was also very responsive to communication!

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

I am open to meeting any new dog and I'm willing to discuss any special needs. I have administered injections, but it has been several years, so I would prefer animals that do not need injectable medications.

A typical day

I love playing games and going for hikes on trails in the woods. I have a large park near my house with a lake and lots of open space.
