Availability
I am available evenings and weekends primarily, as I work full time Monday to Friday 9-5pm. There is the possibility of lunch time pops in depending on my availability, and weekday availability during the usual holiday periods. Due to having a dog pack I cannot offer boarding in my home, as careful integration is needed for such a service. Overnight stays are from 7-8pm to 8am. If you require a little earlier please send a message with the details. If you require daytime pop ins and dog walks, please send me a message to agree times.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for your pets in the way you and your pet desires. I like to pre meet before accepting a booking to make sure I am a good fit for your pets. This would be at no charge, once complete the pet sit can be a finalised. A pre meet is also a chance for me to get an understanding of your pets schedule. You can rest assured your pet is left in good hands.

Pet care experience
I have many years experience of caring for animals. Having owed my own horses, ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, african pygmy hedgehogs, rankin dragon, fish, shrimp and quails. I have particular expertise in dogs, horses and small companion animals - rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. I understand the frustration, worry and uncertainty in finding reliable, trust worthy dog sitting. I have 4 large dogs myself (greek shepherd, dalmatian, greyhound and lurcher), so rest assured your pets are in experienced hands. I have owed my own dog pack for the last 9 years of various breeds and sexes. I've also fostered within my home 6 dogs across different charities, who've all now found loving homes. I also have a basic understanding of working dogs and even protection dogs, having trained with the Army Reserve Military Working Dogs Unit. You can rest assured I will take your pets care and safety seriously, adhering to your schedule and pattern.
Reviews
Laura is extremely reliable and wonderfully trustworthy, with a caring heart that our fur girls instantly respond to. She treats them like family, and that means everything to us.
Unreliable. Forgot to fetch house keys at agreed time and has let me down last minute for next weeks sitting. I had a training course part 2 booked and Laura told me today 4 days before that she could no longer sit. I cannot recommend an unreliable person who knows it is unreasonable to let someone down 4 days prior to a confirmed date. I’ve ended up £500 out of pocket for a course I cannot attend now as no sitter available last minute.
We had a lovely evening at a brilliant concert (The Albion Christmas Band) and it was great to be able to relax knowing that Daisy would be enjoying Dr. Laura’s company for an hour. (I had been very impressed by Laura’s knowledge, personality and attitudes when she came round the other day to meet Daisy.) Daisy was calm and happy when we arrived home and I feel we’ve found an invaluable dog-sitter.
I’ve known Laura for five years, her love and devotion to animals is unrivalled. I’ve seen first hand the care she has given her animals, and those of others. She has often been asked to look after her neighbours dog, her brother’s cats and rabbits, her work colleagues dogs, cats, goats, guinea pigs and mini menagerie! I’d trust her with my animals without hesitation.
