Pet care experience
I've been around all different types of pets since I was born including cats; dogs; guinea pigs; rabbits; gerbils and fish. I would often walk my nans dog once a week with my dad between the ages of 4 and 8. From the age of 10 I would walk my other nans dog twice a week and feed her and play with her. When I got my own dog at the age of 11 my responsibilities were to feed her and to pick up after her. I also dog sat whilst my parents were away at the age of 15. When feeding the dogs I would always ensure they followed commands they had been taught such as sit and paw and after they obeyed I praised them. I have an absolute passion for all animals and they give me so much joy with all the love they have to give and it would be such a privilege to be able to look after your furry friends. All my life I've loved all my pets and the animals within my family and I've always wanted to work in animal care. I am able to provide the following services: Drop In Services House Sitting (Sleep Ins) House Sitting (Daytimes Only) Dog Walking Dog Only Sitting Cat Only Sitting Multiple Pet Sitting (More than 1 pet) Small Animal Only Sitting Within these services I provide and ensure: - Feeding/treats/fresh water - Walking -Letting outside - Playing/plenty of attention and cuddles - Medication that can be crushed up into food or ear medicines - Vet appointments If needed - Cleaning of gardens/litter trays/small animal cages - Daily updates and photos of your pets - Meet and greet before bookings - Ensuring all healthcare plans and schedules are in place before the owner leaves their pet/s with me - If I have any concerns or issues I will contact the owner
Reviews
Laura took care of our cat and dog while we were on holiday. She kept very good touch with us sending us regular updates about our pets. She brought toys for both pets and ensured they are safe.
Laura was very lovely and looked after Baloo really well. She let us know when he was walked, fed and watered. She gave really thorough updates which we really appreciated and lots of photos. When she arrived she brought him a new toy which he loves and left us a really cute puppy calendar. We would definitely use her again !

I always ask the owners what the routine of the animal is such as breakfast; dinnertime; walkies and how often they are allowed treats. I also ensure a care plan is set in place. And ensure i have all the information I need about all the pets I am taking care of. I always ask about intolerances and allergies. And if there are any rules or commands the owners wish for me to follow through with. So I base a schedule around that so when the pet is in a happy mood I will play with them and give them lots of attention; if they're looking like they want to relax I'll talk to them give them a stoke and leave them be.
Information Laura C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any types of special needs; anxiety or certain triggers so I can ensure they have a pleasant time and avoid any situations they are not comfortable with. Also any allergies or intolerances and all their likes and dislikes. We will set up a care plan and go through questions and everything I need to know at the meet and greet. And I will ensure you're happy with the service you and your pets will be receiving.
A typical day
I love to stimulate pets mentally and physically and I would do this by playing with them and talking to them. With dogs for example it would be things like going for a walk and playing fetch or just taking a walk in the park so they can experience some different smells. With cats for example it would be getting their favourite toys and playing with them and giving them some cuddles. With small animals it would be getting them out of their cage so they can have a nice run around with some different toys to stimulate them and having some cuddle time so they're not just stuck in their cage all day.

Availability
I currently work afternoons 3.30pm-6pm Monday- Friday term time but if the owners are okay with their pets being left alone for this duration of time plus 1 hour for travel as I don't drive I can and am more than willing to do both jobs at the same time. Of course before I left for work and as soon as I got back, I would ensure all their basic needs have been attended to. During the school holidays my hours of work do change depending on which holiday it is and when my rota comes through. I would let owners who have booked in the school holidays know my hours and which days would be affected. I am fully flexible on weekends and in the mornings.
