Availability
At the moment, I’m staying in Shrewsbury over the summer and into September as I am on summer break as a teacher. This means have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. My own dog, Penny, is at the heart of my daily routine, so our days are built around walks, play, enrichment, training, rest, and lots of one-to-one attention. Because I’m home for most of the day, I can easily adapt our routine to suit your dog’s usual schedule, whether that’s multiple walks, medication, training, regular toilet breaks, or simply plenty of companionship and cuddles. I know every dog is different, and I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. (As long as you don’t mind Penny coming along for the ride) My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family while they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. Whether I’m taking them for a walk, dropping in for a visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog, Penny. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before we begin. Whether they love long sniffy walks, a game of fetch, enrichment activities, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m passionate about positive reinforcement and canine behaviour, and I’m always attentive to a dog’s body language and wellbeing. As an inclusive teacher, I’m naturally patient, observant, and adaptable, helping even nervous or shy dogs feel at ease. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, settled, and in caring hands.
Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet
Before we meet, I’d love to get to know your dog! Please let me know about their personality, daily routine, favourite activities, and anything that helps them feel happy and comfortable. It’s also helpful to know: * How they get on with other dogs, especially as my friendly dog Penny may join us on walks. * Any medical conditions, allergies, medication, or mobility needs. * Any behavioural quirks, fears, or triggers (such as loud noises, traffic, or being around certain dogs). * Their recall, lead manners, and any training cues or commands you use. * Feeding routines, treats they’re allowed, and anything they shouldn’t eat. * Any favourite toys, games, or enrichment activities. * Emergency contact details and your vet’s information. The more I know beforehand, the better I can tailor my care and make sure your dog has a safe, fun, and stress-free experience.
A typical day
Every day is tailored to the dog I’m caring for, but it’s always filled with plenty of love, fun, and attention! We might start with a relaxed sniffy walk or a more adventurous outing if your dog enjoys exploring. Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy playtime, enrichment games, gentle training using positive reinforcement, and plenty of opportunities to rest and recharge. If your dog loves learning, I’m always happy to practise their favourite commands or teach them a fun new trick. For dogs who prefer a quieter pace, I’m just as happy to spend time cuddling on the sofa, offering calm companionship, or enjoying a gentle stroll. My own dog, Penny, loves making new friends and is great at reading other dogs’ body language, happily playing with energetic dogs or giving nervous pups the space they need. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while sticking as closely as possible to the routine they’re used to at home.

Treating Yours Like My Own 🐾💛
Pet care experience
I offer genuine love, patience, and attention to every dog in my care. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I treat every dog as if they were my own by offering plenty of affection, play, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and individual care. I’ve taught my own dog a wide range of tricks, commands, and life skills, and I love keeping dogs mentally stimulated through enrichment games, sniffy walks, fun training sessions, and reinforcing the routines they’re already familiar with. As an inclusive teacher, patience and understanding are second nature to me. I’m experienced in adapting to different personalities and needs, whether your dog is an energetic youngster who loves to learn or a quieter companion who just wants company and a gentle walk. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back. I offer meeting before any care so you can decide if Penny and I am a good fit.
Reviews
Laura has looked after my two dogs Ruby and Timmy, both house sitting for me and walking them. They love seeing Laura, it’s a highlight to their day. Laura is kind and compassionate and always lets me know if anything isn’t right with the dogs. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Laura H. is one of the most compassionate and dependable people I know, making her an absolute natural for pet care. She has looked after my Toy Yorkshire terrier, my ancient Shih Tzu, and young Chocolate lab, showing an incredible ability to adapt to different dog sizes, energy levels, ages, and physical abilities. Whether she is managing the high-energy demands of a young large lab, accommodating the gentle pacing of a senior pet, or keeping a watchful eye on my 2kg terrier , Laura tailors her approach to meet each dog's unique health and mobility needs. She treats every animal with the same deep affection, vigilance, and patience as if they were her own, ensuring they always remain safe, comfortable, and happy. Beyond being a wonderful caregiver, Laura is just an awesome human being—she is incredibly warm, funny trustworthy, and an excellent communicator who always goes the extra mile to provide amazing customer service.
Laura and Josh were an nice couple who took such good care of Leo, Leo enjoyed park warks, starbucks pupcups, loads of cuddles and was extremely well looked after, I would happily leave Leo with them again.
Laura is one of the most caring, patient, and responsible people I know. As both a teacher and a dog owner, she has a natural ability to build trust and confidence with animals. She looked after my family dog, Olive, on a number of occasions and always treated her as if she were her own, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ve also seen firsthand the time, love, and consistency she’s invested in training and caring for her own dog, Penny, who is happy, well-behaved, and clearly adored. I would have complete confidence leaving a pet in Laura’s care and know they would be safe, loved, and exceptionally well looked after.
