Hi there, I’m Laura. You might recognise me from walking and cycling around Leamington and Whitnash. From a very young age I have loved animals and all of my friends know me as the biggest animal lover. I will give your dog as much love and affection it asks for. Or none, if it’s a dog who isn’t so fussed about being fussed! I’ll patiently wait on walks for the older, slower dogs, or those that like a good sniff. Equally, I’ll give the energetic ones a run for their money! Previously to being a dog sitter on Rover, I looked after my sister’s, friends’ and neighbours’ dogs for about 5 years, with walking, check-ins and having them to stay at my home. I’ve cared for both puppies and older dogs. Mess/clearing up after them is no problem. I initially joined Rover as my sister did a lot of dog sitting and walking via the app. As I didn’t have my own dog, I decided to help other people to look after theirs. So far, I’ve loved getting to know so many different dogs and their owners, and I’m building up a regular customer base. 🐾 Whether we meet in the local area or you pop round to mine, I think it’s really important for you, me and your dog to meet briefly before they come to stay for the first time. (However, I appreciate it’s not always possible.) I do have some standard questions I like to ask to understand your dog and make sure their usual routines and rules are followed. We can do this over message if needed. If I have your dog to stay for the day, I will make sure I am in for the entire day. If they are here over night, I’ll only leave them for an hour or so while I pop to the gym or head out for a run. Please note: I don’t have any experience in dog training. Big dogs are fine, as long as they don’t have behavioural issues and walk well on a lead (if they need a walk during their stay, of course). I do get a lot of requests to look after puppies. Unfortunately I am unable to look after young puppies Monday to Friday because of the time and attention they require - I do work full-time too! I am also unable to have dogs that are not yet housetrained. I do enjoy action packed weekends so my diary shows I am unable to take bookings, but please drop me a message to see if I might be free on the Saturday or Sunday you need a dog sitter. If I’m in, hopefully I’ll be able to help.
