Dogs - a woman’s only need.
Pet care experience
I. Love. Dogs. It’s really the only reason why I have Facebook so I can watch every cute dog video (esp. the ones with Golden Retrievers). I am a proud mom of a Keeshond and a Border Collie mix. I had a German Shepherd whom I helped train for the Seeing Eye but unfortunately she passed away by cancer. I am currently a Graphic Designer and am looking for something fun on the side esp. away from the computer! Also I just moved here from PA and would love to make new friends - human and canine. :) I am an active person who would absolutely love to walk your fur baby. I have experience with puppies, small/large doggies, special needs, senior, and those who need medication. Please don’t hesitate to reach out even just to say hi!

What would we do without Laura to take care of our fur-child Jax? She is one-in-a-million when it comes to understanding dogs and their specific needs (in the case of our dog for sure!). Laura has stayed in our home for two-week stints, watching over Jax, feeding him and taking him out for his much needed exercise every day, and sometimes two times per day. During her stays, she sent me the best images of Jax and her living their best lives together - she truly is his best friend. This summer, when my husband became gravely ill, Laura didn't hesitate to help take care of Jax so that I could be at the hospital and then home, caring for the patient. Jax considers Laura his BFF now, and waits anxiously for her when I say her name. She doesn't allow for bad manners, either, and knows very well how to keep a dog acting like a decent citizen. I can tell she would make a great dog trainer, too! She's the young, female version of Cesar Millan! I highly recommend Laura for any dog-related care giving needs.
Laura is amazing!! I have a senior special needs Pug who can be quite nervous around new people. But from the first meeting I could tell how warm and friendly she was. And my Puggie sensed it too!! She loved her!! This is no easy “feet”. Laura was very good with communicating with me while we were gone! I never had to worry and knew our sweet fur baby was being well cared for. She went above and beyond (which I completely appreciated) in taking care of our Pug. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura!!
Laura was extremely responsible with my 3 dogs during a recent stay. She spent a lot of time with them, gave them medications, slept with them and loved them while I was away. She truly seems to love dogs and I felt extremely comfortable trusting her in my home. My house was neat and cleaned up when I arrived back home. Will definitely use her again.
When I booked Laura to watch our dog, I had NO idea just what an amazing dog sitter we were working with. I have used a few dog sitters in 2 different states and Laura outshines every single one of them. Wow. She took extra photos and videos of him, truly gave him a lot of love, was super professional, plus left a handwritten note for my husband and I, recapping her time and noting that she even did laundry and emptied the dishwasher. We were speechless!!! The house was clean and our pup was smiling big in every photo she sent us. Laura is a special person with animals...one you don't just find every day. We will definitely be using her again.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds however I must know their temperament and history. I will not put my dogs or my family members in danger. Please inform me of aggressive behavior. Thank you.
A typical day
I love doing everything with my dog such as running, hiking, biking, swimming, car rides, so I would love to do the same with your pooch if he or she would be willing to. I believe having an active life for your dog is important so I will not hesitate to play fetch or run with them and get them tired! If your dog is an older dog, then cuddling and/or light walks are great as well!
