Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated and Passionate Pet Sitter
I am a passionate and dedicated animal enthusiast who has been taking care of pets for over 20years! I grew up on a dairy farm where my family took in various rescue pets through the years, including multiple dogs, who I helped to train and raise. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as dogs with special needs or medications. My mom is a vet so I have basic animal medical knowledge and easy access to veterinarian level support at any time.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Laura was very responsible when taking care of my two golden retrievers. She was able to follow routine and send me regular updates, even when she had them out for walks! The two loved her and enjoyed her company. She was friendly and punctual and I would use her again when needed.
Laura stayed in our home while we were away for 3 weeks, and took care of the house and our Jack Russell, Helix. Helix is blind, and so required a bit of extra care. But Laura was up to the task, she took wonderful care of Helix, sending us regular pictures of her while we were away -Helix was clearly very happy and well adjusted while we were gone. I have no hesitation recommending Laura to others. She is conscientious and responsible, and has the added benefit of her mother being a veterinarian, so good advice is just a phone call away to her. She clearly loves animals, and puts their needs first.

Schedule
I work from home so I am always available for your pets, day and night! This gives me the ability to provide multiple walks a day, frequent bathroom breaks and constant attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment but I go on frequent walks and have an abundance of green space around the neighbourhood to explore. I am happy to follow whatever schedule and rules you have in place at your own home to ensure the smoothest transition for your pet. We do have our own dog, Lola, who loves to meet new friends and play once she is comfortable.

A typical day
I work from home, so I am always available for your pup! My typical day would involve multiple walks through the parks and neighbourhoods around my home. Your pup would also get constant attention through the day while I work, including lots of play breaks and snuggles.

- I would love to know if your dog has any special needs or medication so I can ensure our home and schedule accommodate these needs ahead of time. I would also appreciate information on any routines or training that you are doing with your dog so I can try and keep as close to your routine as possible to make your dog comfortable. Your dog must be friendly towards other dogs and men.
