Safety, trust & environment

RELIABLE... I recognize how difficult it is to be away from your beloved pet(s), so I strive to provide you with the comfort and confidence of knowing they are in great hands. You can be stress-free with reliable, quality-focused care featuring pre-visit confirmations, photo updates & post-visit communications, and complimentary Meet & Greets to get acquainted and ensure a good fit, discuss needs, address questions, and review details before any scheduled care. FLEXIBLE... I know every pet is unique, so I prioritize personalizing services to meet each pet's varied needs. From temperament, activity level, and routine to special diet and medication, I am flexible and can accommodate most requests. TRUSTWORTHY... Understandably, there needs to be established trust and confidence to hand over the keys to your home and entrust someone to care for your beloved pet(s). I run a reputable and legally registered small business. You can rest assured you are working with a professional, mindful of security practices, trained in pet care & first aid, and fully insured with PCI for the unlikely but unforeseen. I proudly provide references upon request.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best quality care for your pet(s) it is beneficial to understand them. A complimentary Meet & Greet is the perfect way to get acquainted and ensure a good fit. During this initial meeting, I can get to know your pet's temperament and routine and learn about their likes, dislikes, and everything that makes them uniquely them.

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I prioritize personalizing services to meet each pet's varied needs. From temperament, activity level, and routine to special needs, diets and medication administration, I am flexible and can accommodate most requests. Typically a visit includes some form of active play (e.g. going for a walk, playing fetch, tug of war with a favorite toy, working to master a new trick), meeting care needs (e.g fresh water, food or treats as directed, medication administration), and of course plenty of love and affection.

Loving, Reliable Care!

Pet care experience

Being blessed with the unconditional love and special bond of pets has shaped me into a complete and utter animal lover! Naturally, this has led to being the go to pet care provider for family, friends, and neighbors when they need to be away. After years of enjoying caring for pets as a part-time hobby, I took my abundant love for animals and fulfilled the lifelong dream of owning my own business and doing something I'm passionate about each and every day. SpareHuman Pet Care is now my full-time venture! I have never felt such joy and purpose which transcends to exceptional care for my clients and grants me the privilege of continually growing my passion. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from Fritz the gentle giant of a German Shepard to Hattie the delightfully rambunctious yellow lab pup to Dolly the sweetest little senior, I love caring for them all, and I would love to be your dog's new favorite SpareHuman when you, their favorite human, can't be there! I AM A FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL DOG WALKER/PET SITTER, CERTIFIED IN PET CARE & FIRST AID, AND FULLY INSURED THROUGH PCI.

Laura provided excellent care to my two pitbull puppies while I was on a long day trip. She made sure they had the opportunity to play and run around to get their energy out and gave them some fun snacks. This drop-in visit made a huge difference for them when faced with having to be in their crates for 10 hours. She sent lots of fun pictures that helped ease my stress at leaving them for so long. We will definitely use her again!

Laura did a wonderful job with Skylar. She is extremely conscientious; went above and beyond cleaning up a mess and watering plants. But most importantly, I was confident Sky was in good hands and having some fun play time too! Can't wait to use her services again!

Thank you Laura for being wonderful, reliable and kind to my fur baby cat. You are so much more than a pet sitter. You’re a thoughtful and caring caregiver to furry family members. You gave me peace of mind when I couldn’t be there and so happy with your services. Thank you!!
