Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring experienced dog owner/sitter
We've always had dogs in the family growing up, so I've taken care of them since I was a young child. I've had the responbility of walking, training and feeding them and pet sitting while my parents were on holiday. So, I have experience with puppies, an older ill dog and walking two different sized dogs at the same time. A few years ago I got into pet sitting due to my love for animals, and I have had the joy of looking after dogs for drop in visits or while the owner was away, which included feeding, play time and walking. My feedback shows how I have been reliable and trusted and how I would provide top quality care for your pet.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I could not have asked for a better catsitter for my first trip away leaving them with someone else. My cats were happy, content and hadn't even missed me at all, which is a sign they were well loved and taken care of. Laura is amazing, sends good updates, and left my home clean and tidy.
Laura was amazing at looking after our dog, she took him for two long walks, sent us photos and gave him lots of attention ☺️🐾
Thank you Laura for taking May for a walk, May is very happy, Laura is very nice and responsible, will continue to let her take May for walks:)
We rebooked Laura for our mini holiday as she has previously looked after our dog before. She is reliable, trustworthy and patient with our sausage dog who takes a while to trust and isn’t the most obedient. Would highly recommend x
Laura was fantastic, from the original communication to the day of the booking. She accommodated the dogs needs and what we had asked. Especially where we have a 4 month old puppy. Laura kept us constantly updated with how the dogs were with messages, pictures and videos We would 100% recommend Laura and we will be booking her over and over again for our dogs needs
Laura was brilliant with my cat. She was very thorough in her care, and very communicative with updates. It was clear that she prioritised my cat's wellbeing and it was a huge relief to know that someone so caring was looking after her while I was away. My cat is fairly timid, but took to her immediately ☺️ would definitely recommend Laura and will be booking her again for the next trip.

Schedule
I'm currently working full-time in a bar, but my rota and shift patterns vary and therefore my availability isn't consistent or known ahead of time. I can fit dog walking and drop-in visits around my shifts, but house sitting is less likely, depending on your needs. I accept same-day bookings for drop-in visits through the week, if they are local (as I do not drive). I will update my calander accordingly, and you're always welcome to message me to check availability if I have forgotten to do so.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When house sitting, I ensure to double check doors are locked when going out / to bed and watch little dogs when they're in the garden incase they try to fit through any small gaps in the fence! I provide lots of attention, play time and treats for good behaviour, so your pet feels happy and comfortable during your holiday. Depending on your pet's needs (possibly seperation anxiety), I could play some music or TV when I pop out the house at any point and ensure they have access to toys, water and a safe place during that time. To avoid distress I would respect the length time your pet can handle being alone and any other rules you have set in place.
Pets
A typical day
I will take your dogs on long walks to their favourite spots (forest, beach or park), lots of mental and physical stimulation through play and cuddles.
