About Laura
Hi there! I’m Laura, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾 What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is a lifetime of hands-on experience, deeply rooted in a family of absolute dog lovers. I grew up surrounded by dogs, meaning reading canine body language and understanding their needs is second nature to me. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve cared for dogs at every single stage of life. Senior care I have a deep understanding of senior and medical care from looking after our family dog during their battle with cancer. I know that sick or low-mobility pups require a different level of gentleness and patience. I’m fully comfortable administering medication on schedule, assisting dogs with physical support, and providing a calm, safe environment. Shelter Volunteer Experience To broaden my skills, I spent a summer volunteering at a dog shelter. This experience was incredibly rewarding and taught me how to handle dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Through my time there, I mastered: Building trust with anxious or fearful dogs, leash training and managing high-energy pups safely, recognizing subtle signs of stress or discomfort. Trusted by Friends In addition to my personal and volunteer experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they go on vacation. I love keeping owners updated with pictures, maintaining their dog’s usual routines, and making sure they feel just as loved as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a high-energy playtime, a patient friend for a slow walk, or specialized medical attention, I am here to provide a safe, loving, and reliable home away from home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When staying at your home, my main goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it is when you are there, ensuring they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. Here is how I care for your pet and respect your space: Maintaining Routines: I strictly follow your rules and schedules for feeding, walking, and potty breaks. If your dog is used to a specific park route or a certain bedtime ritual, I stick to it to minimize any separation anxiety. Specialized Medical and Senior Attention: If your pet has health needs, I am fully prepared to manage them. I have experience administering medication on precise schedules, handling low-mobility pups gently, and providing the calm, stress-free environment that older or anxious dogs need. Companionship and Play: Since my university schedule is very flexible, I spend a lot of time at the house. I can study right next to your pup, offering plenty of cuddles, mental stimulation, and playtime so they never feel lonely. Respecting Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I keep things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. Constant Updates: I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member! I’ll send you regular updates and plenty of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Super responsible pet sitter! My dog got along great with Laura, took her on plenty of long walks, let her out in the garden and played with her. Would highly recommend!
My daughter is a reliable and caring person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I’ve always been impressed by how naturally she connects with animals and how quickly dogs seem to trust her. She is calm, patient, and pays attention to each dog’s personality and needs. A while ago, a friend of ours needed someone to look after their dog while they were away, and my daughter was happy to help. She took care of everything, from walks and feeding to playtime and making sure the dog felt comfortable and happy. It was clear that she treated the dog as if it were her own. Since then, she has continued to help friends and family with their pets whenever needed. She is responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs rather than seeing it as a task. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, she adapts easily and makes sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

Schedule
As a university student, my schedule is incredibly flexible and easily adaptable to your pet's needs! Because a lot of my study time can be managed independently, I can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. For Daycare and Sitting: I can study right next to your pup, keeping them company all day and sticking strictly to their feeding, medication, and potty schedules. For Walks and Drop-ins: My flexible timetable allows me to easily break away for mid-day walks, park visits, or quick check-ins whenever your dog needs a stretch and some love.
