Caring for your pets when you’re not at “Om”
Caring for your pets when you’re not at “Om”
Laura Horst, owner of Zen Pet Service, has been caring for others throughout her life. With more than 20 years of experience as a professional pet sitter, Laura brings a unique combination of compassion, responsibility, and genuine connection to every pet in her care.
Her career as a caregiver began long before she started working with animals. She has cared for seniors, worked as a nanny for multiple families, taught children’s yoga, and built a strong background in customer service through her work in the airline industry. Each of these experiences helped shape the patient, attentive, and dependable caregiver she is today.
Laura’s lifelong love of animals ultimately inspired her to create Zen Pet Service—a pet care business built around providing personalized, compassionate care and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away.
Laura takes the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or an animal who needs a little extra patience and reassurance, she believes that quality pet care is about more than simply showing up—it’s about building trust and creating a sense of comfort for both pets and their people.
Laura is bonded and insured and is certified in Canine & Feline CPR and First Aid. Her goal is simple: to give every pet the thoughtful, attentive care she would want for her own.
For Laura, caring for animals isn’t simply a job—it’s something she genuinely loves. And that care is at the heart of everything she does at Zen Pet Service.

At Zen Pet Service, we believe great pet care is about more than simply stopping by. We take the time to understand your pets, their routines, and the little things that help them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
From daily check-ins and walks to overnight care, we provide personalized service designed around your pet’s individual needs. And while we’re caring for your pets, we’re happy to help with a few of those important details at home, too.

Whether you’re working a long day or traveling out of town, our daily visits provide your pets with the care and attention they need.
Visits are available in 30-minute or 60-minute increments and can be scheduled as needed throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s routine, visits may include:
Every visit is tailored to your pet’s individual routine and personality.

A little fresh air and exercise can make a big difference in your dog’s day. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a more energetic outing, we’ll provide a safe and enjoyable walk suited to their age, energy level, and needs.
Our goal is for your dog to return home happy, exercised, and ready to relax.

Some pets simply do better when someone is there overnight. Our overnight care is ideal for pets who are anxious when left alone, young pets who need additional supervision, or those who simply feel more comfortable with someone nearby.
Overnight stays provide companionship, supervision, feeding, medication as needed, and care according to your pet’s normal routine—helping them feel secure and at home while you’re away.

When you’re traveling, it’s often the little things at home that need attention, too. While caring for your pets, Laura and her team can also help with simple home-care tasks to give you greater peace of mind while you’re away.
Depending on your needs, this may include:
We’re happy to discuss your specific needs during your Meet & Greet and create a care plan that works for both you and your pets.
