Experienced dog/cat sitter and walker in Wimbledon
Pet care experience
*AWAY TRAVELLING JUNE-JULY 2024* Your local pet sitter in Wimbledon, flexibly available! Note: I have a dog of my own, a friendly male chihuahua, Pepe. I've been very lucky to be surrounded by dogs and other pets/animals all my life. I've taken care of all from single pet households to a local petting zoo/farm, that at the time also hosted the owner's pedigree show dogs and their two litters. I took care of 3 adult Belgian Shepherds and their 7+7 puppies, 2 sheep, chickens, doves, a parakeet, domestic lizards including an iguana, 2 cats, a fishtank and a snake. I loved every second of it! I've owned 3 Belgian shepherd's, and currently share my home with a male chihuahua Pepe and a big fish tank.
Reviews
Laura is absolutely fantastic! Laura goes the extra mile to get to know my kitten, who over the week let down her guard and became best friends with Laura! Additionally Laura was very attentive to my kitten’s behavioural patterns and provided great care in my absence. Reading the wonderful updates of their daily sessions together made me very happy (and a little jealous!).
Laura is a total professional! My cats loved having her around and felt very comfortable around her. Laura took her time to get to know them to ensure they were happy and felt safe. Strongly recommend Laura for your pets :).
Laura is a wonderful cat-sitter who has brought my nervous little kitten out of her shell. I’m very glad to be able to leave my kitten in such a safe pair of hands!
I had the pleasure of having Laura as my cat sitter while I was on holiday, and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care she provided for my cat. My cat is incredibly shy and sensitive to new people, but Laura's professionalism and expertise were evident from the start. She managed to establish a friendly distance with my cat, which allowed her to feel comfortable and secure during my absence. One thing that stood out to me was Laura's attention to detail. Not only did she ensure that my cat's basic needs were met, but she also went above and beyond to make sure my cat had plenty of entertainment and stimulation while I was away. I was pleasantly surprised to come home and find that Laura had hidden snacks around my apartment for my cat to discover, providing both mental and physical stimulation. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Laura as my pet sitter. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my cat put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Laura, for your hard work and dedication!

I live centrally in Wimbledon Chase, nearby great parks for short or long walks, as needed. You can easily spot me and Pepe going for walks in the neighbourhood. I currently am not able to offer a garden/yard, and therfore compensate with loads of time outside walking when boarding from my own home. For dogs bigger than 15kg, I prefer to care for them in their own home as my flat might not provide them with enough space for boarding purposes. My small dog will keep company for your four-legged friend in any case. Any additional requirements, such as your dog needing a crate, will be discussed accordingly.
Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any dietary requirements or requires any medication. The most important thing is that your dog gets along with other dogs and is generally well behaved.
A typical day
We love going on long relaxed walks in our local park and at home we like doing nose work with snuffle mats and kongs. Depending on our visiting doggy friends, we'll choose our activities according to every pup's needs. Our favourite places are cafes in Wimbledon Village and the Wimbledon Common.

Availability
I'm currently taking a career break from my corporate city job and looking to pivot my career back toward my passion - dogs and other animals. Therefore I'm available very flexibly to both walk your dog/s and/or arrange boarding in my home or house sit at yours.
