Pet care experience

Flexible boarding & check-ins 🐾🪄

I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.

Laura is a kind, trusted and considerate person who loves dogs. She has looked after our dog Harvey on a number of occasions and he is always very happy to see her. I would highly recommend Laura.

I highly recommend Laura. She's looked after our dog (a whippet) many times with great care. Our dog adores her and looks forward to the next walk with Laura at the mere mention of her name.

Laura has looked after our dog for a weekend when he was just a 3-months old pup and taken him for walks as an adult. Whenever she is around the corner, his ears go up and he starts doing zoomies, so happy he is to see her. She is a caring and sensitive individual, good at reading dog's behavious and being kind yet firm. She is responsible and would not allow him off the lead without our permission. The fact that she is one of his favourite people speaks for itself. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter

Schedule

I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around.
