Experienced Sitter In The City

Pet care experience

I have a complete educational background which includes a BSc degree in Zoology. I also spent 5 years at college studying Animal Management and Animal Care Assistance. I have always known I wanted to work in a animal career, so being able to look after others pets will allow me to create new knowledge and strength to add to my already established skill set, through what I have already learnt throughout my years of education and careers. Having dogs in my immediate family of all different sizes and breeds, I have always loved being around each and every one of them, and even meeting new pets. I have a lot of experience with dog sitting at my dads house with a staffy, cockerpoo and German Shepard/akita, providing fresh water and food, letting them outside and taking them for walks around the park, with all different temperaments I was able to keep all their needs well cared for. I would also look after my boyfriend’s senior black lab, doing short walks and providing vet prescribed medicine. As well as family dogs I worked at a kennel and cattery for 5 years here I looked after family pets while they went away on holiday, I accounted many different dogs of all sorts of backgrounds, providing their needs cleaning out the kennels twice a day, giving fresh water, keeping to their diets, for example raw, low fat, and supplemented food, provding vet prescribed medications, walking them, allowing them outside in our run pens and giving baths. Here I learnt a lot about dog behaviours. At the moment I work in a dog crèche where I greeted with lots of different breeds, ages and temperaments of dogs which is lots of fun! I work at the moment is 18 hours a week here. I can’t wait to meet all your pets, and will make sure not only is your dog well cared for but your house, and will provide daily updates and pictures for your peace of mind.

Firstly I must say my dog is everything to me, and I get him things and services which are the best! Laura was an absolute dream and I'm so glad I found her 💗 She came to meet me and Moey prior the visits, she seemed so nice and so good with him. She not only looked after him superbly but also sent me pictures and little messages such as how is his mood today and how is he and what he been up to... which made me being away from him so much easier. House was left nice and tidy, Moey looked superb when I got back. No signs of stress or anything. Could not recommend Laura enough honestly 😁 that's why I already booked her for my next time away 😊

I live in the city but off a very quiet estate, with a fenced in, secure backyard, but will watch them while they are out all the time. I have a cat so they must like to be around cats.

Information Laura E. would like to know about your pet

Would be nice to have an nice in-depth understanding of your pet, to allow me to prepare for the time we are together, to allow you to feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. A meeting beforehand would be great or just an understanding of your routine at home so I could take over with ease.

A typical day

Having experience with high energy and lower energy dogs, I will provide what they need for the type of breed/ personality they have, with a good amount of physical and mental stimulation, having a good understanding of many parks around the area, and will plan out nice walks each time. Also I would love to play with them using any toys you have and even just some nice down time with any treats to help them get used to me, making them feel as relaxed as possible.
