Because I’m a teacher, I have my summers off, as well as most weekends and holidays, to devote to pet care. This allows me to establish consistent routines for feeding, exercise, grooming, and playtime, ensuring that all the pets receive the attention they need and deserve. I can dedicate extra time to training sessions for the puppies and reinforcing the emotional support skills of any animals in need. Additionally, with more flexibility in my schedule, I can accommodate any unexpected needs or emergencies that may arise, providing peace of mind to both pets and their owners.

Safety, trust & environment

For me, caring for pets goes beyond mere responsibility; it's a deeply ingrained commitment to nurturing and protecting, much like caring for my own children. Every aspect of their well-being, from nutrition to exercise to emotional support, is paramount. I approach pet care with the same level of love, attention, and dedication that I would for my own family, ensuring each pet feels cherished, safe, and content. Whether it's providing cuddles, administering medication, or simply spending quality time together, I prioritize their happiness and health as if they were my own flesh and blood. This level of devotion extends seamlessly to the pets of others, as I strive to create a loving, trusting environment where every furry friend feels right at home.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

Before walking or sitting pets, it's essential to know their health considerations, behavioral traits, and daily routines, including any special needs or triggers they may have. Have emergency contacts readily available, such as the pet's veterinarian and the owner's contact information. Ensure you have the appropriate leash and harness for dogs, proper identification, and plan a safe walking route. Bring water and a portable bowl for hydration, cleanup supplies for waste, and be mindful of the weather conditions.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in various fun activities! Whether it's playing fetch in the park, going on adventurous hikes, or simply enjoying some quality cuddle time indoors, there's always something exciting to do. Interactive toys like puzzle feeders or laser pointers can keep them mentally stimulated, while teaching them new tricks adds an extra element of joy and bonding. Sometimes, a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a relaxing grooming session can also be incredibly rewarding for both the pet and me. The key is to tailor the activities to their preferences and energy levels, ensuring a paw-some time for all!

Laura is a fantastic pet sitter. She made me feel so much more at ease leaving my cats home for the holidays. Will rebook with her again :)

Laura was wonderful taking care of our two kitties! She was able to give them both their meds and made us feel at ease being away. We would love to use her again! Thank you Laura!!
