Patient, caring, active dog lover

Pet care experience

I spent years caring for friends, boyfriends and siblings dogs until I was lucky enough to be able to foster a fur baby myself, and failed, and adopted my own little pup! I have extensive experience watching pits and pit mixes (my little guy is a pit mix himself!) so I’m very comfortable knowing how to control a walk and keep things under control. I have a lot of patience and want my dog and your dog(s) to know they are loved and taken care of, even when the owners away, and that’s where I come in! I’d love the chance to meet your dog/pup and be a glimpse in their life.

Laura is an excellent dog sitter and care taker! She has played, walked, and watched my puppy on multiple occasions and they always have a blast! Laura is very responsible and observant of dogs when caretaking. I cannot recommend Laura enough for all your dog walking and watching services!

Laura is a wonderful and caring dog walking and dog sitting professional! My dogs love whenever Laura comes over to walk them and they love the long walks she takes them on as well as the endless love she showers our dogs with! She truly is such a pleasure!!

I currently am not able to care for a dog in my home as we have our own dog and we feel it would be to much in our home.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything unique about your dog I should know! My dog doesn’t do great with other dogs on walks so I’m good with keeping our distance on walks and know how to correct him, I’ve been through dog training at old town school for dogs. If your dog needs medicine I’m happy to do that as well as my dog has had multiple different oral medicines he’s had to take over the years.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks and I’ll also take them to the tennis court near my house to play fetch, if that’s something your dog enjoys! I love snuggling and playing tug of war and going for runs with my pup!

Availability

I currently work full time remotely. I generally am working 9 am - 5 pm Monday - Friday but I have flexibility during the day for walks as I’m remote and have good control over my calendar. I’m an early riser so I love morning walks and am available in the evenings and on weekends!
