Pootling Paws - Dog walking & pet sitting
Pet care experience
Hi my name is Laura and I am a complete animal lover. I have 4 cats of my own plus 2 dogs (a jackapoo and a retriever mix who we rescued). I specialise in one on one walks, so when you book me your pooch will have my full undivided attention :) I have experience with all size dogs and am comfortable with massive dogs and I also have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies all the way up to OADs (old age dogs). I am also comfortable with dogs that have behaviour issues. I am comfortable walking dogs both on and off lead. I live near a park and have a secured garden. I also own my own car so if you don't live near a park I am more than happy to transport your dog somewhere where they can have a nice run around :) I am happy to provide overnight house/pet sitting but I can only offer a maximum of 3 nights. I very much look forward to meeting you and your wonderful floofs :)
Reviews
Laura is fab with axel. He absolutely loves her and is so excited when she comes round. Laura takes him for good walks which he loves but also loves playing with her.
One very happy dog! Thanks Laura
Laura was amazing with Bailey. He had the best time with her. She was easy to talk to and very accommodating. Happy to use Laura again
Our two cockers had a lovely time with Laura when she sat for us recently. Normally they are anxious if they sense we are going away without them. Laura’s natural love for animals meant they picked up positive vibes from the moment she arrived and it was not long before they were playing and having cuddles. Made leaving them a lot easier than previous occasions . Thanks Laura.

When caring for your pet in your home I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give me. I will ensure they are fed and walked and given lots of fuss and love. If your pet typically sleeps in the same bed as you and you are wanting me to stay overnight I am more than happy to have them in the bed with me as well.
Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything about your pet which you think is important, such as anything they are allergic to, if they pull on their lead or if they are reactive to certain things like busy roads or other dogs.
A typical day
When looking after your pet I will ask you beforehand what they typically enjoy doing, whether it’s fetch, tug, long walks or just cuddling on the sofa and will aim to provide the same love, attention and care as you do.

Availability
This is my full time job and as such I am usually available at fairly short notice (although a couple weeks notice is much appreciated!). I can do both mornings and evenings. I do have limited availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays as these are days when my husband has to go into the office and so I don’t want to leave my own dogs alone for too long. So if you want either of those days it is best to book with me a month ahead of time and block book.
