Pet care experience

Trained animal lover working from home!

So a bit about me. I have had dogs since I was born, and have hosted and taken care of pets my whole life. Outside of the normal dog boarding & sitting, I can provide doggy day care, as well as support in training needs based on your requests. I have extensive experience in training dogs, and now just love having little ones around (both cats and dogs) that I can provide presence, cuddles, and everything in between - we know how much those little fur balls need love! I am currently starting a new career, which means I am mostly home. I have a private balcony on the back of my flat, but also love to take a good long walk whenever possible, so exercise is not a problem! Here’s hoping I can meet your gorgeous dog or cat soon!

Kiki adores Laura-Jane and wags her tail like crazy when she comes over. She’s very flexible and kind and we’re so grateful we met her. Thank you Laura-Jane!! ❤️

Laura Jane looked after our dog for an evening and it was a great experience. Very responsive to messages so felt very secure , I would recommend her for pet sitting service :)

Laura was amazing with cooper. He seemed really comfortable right from the start and she clearly knew how to handle the first meeting to help him relax. Communication was great too. Highly recommend!

Laura-Jane was lovely, She was very friendly and flexible and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. She even previously had had two dogs that were Lhasa Apsos - the same as Kiki - which was great! She picked up on Kiki’s energy quickly and was really gentle and sweet with her. Kiki seemed to have had a good time with Laura-Jane and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thanks Laura-Jane!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced balcony on the back of my flat, and a large hallway that the pups will LOVE to run up and down while chasing a various ball/toy/sock that isn't there's. While training dogs and minimising challenges like separation anxiety, etc, they have designated areas (beds) to sit/lie on when in the room with me. However if there is no specific training required please note they are allowed to be on the sofa/bed/etc as much as they like! For the little kitty cats, I have lots of fun toys to play with, (hopefully) some catnip, and of course am MORE than happy to host any of your adorable little felines!!!

A typical day

Outside of walking and playing in my flat, I’m only a few stops from Hampstead Heath, which is a wonderful place to walk, run, and of course play fetch :) I enjoy a long morning walk to grab a cuppa from somewhere and allow the pups to socialise as much as possible!
