Highlights
Pet care experience
Perfect Paws day care and boarding
From a young age growing up in Africa I've always had a passion and love for animals. I've always wanted to work with animals and study them. I have years of experience with smaller breeds, elderley and rescue and I've always treated my dogs like my children and play with them just as much, especially hide and seek. My mother, that lives locally is also a dog sitter on Rover so I am familiar with the process and care of animals. I have two papillions that love to socialise and large enclosed garden with a doggy splash pool for them to play all day. I very much enjoy being surrounded by my animals and if I had the space would love to have a rescue one day. I have always been a dog sitter for family and friends and would love the opportunity to offer a loving home away from home to others beloved companions aswell now that my children are at school full time. My children are well educated in the safety of animals, they understand how gentle they need to be with dogs, especially the smaller breeds and they do hope to study zoology in the future and have careers working with animals. I have never left my dogs in a kennel when I've been away on holiday and sought out the very best dog sitters, so I feel that I can offer a warm and loving home for your dog while you are away, a cosy spot by the fire in winter and great outdoor space with a doggy pool to cool off in summer. I feel I've always been somewhat of an 'Ace Ventura' at heart and have been drawn to animals my entire life, my dream was to live in a reserve and be apart of animal rescue whether they are reptile, walk on all fours or swim. I also have experience with extremely nervous rescue dogs both large and small breeds, assisted in dogs birthing, (my first dog had a litter of 5), and bottle feeding, weaning and I have the privilege of spending time in large cats santury for a taste of the wild and play with lion cubs. I do not book more than 2 dogs at a time and only book 1 dog for overnight boarding to ensure your companion gets love, care and attention they deserve. Happy to do drop ins for up to 3 dogs in your family home. I adhere to quality not quantity, I do this because I love animals, love studying them and gaining their trust and love.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bob had a two hour settling in session that he loved and I’m sure looks forward to more visits with Lauren and the papillons.
I have used Lauren on many occasions over a few years to look after my dogs. She looked after my small dog Coco who was very elderly and fragile at the time. while I was on holiday for 8 days and also my other dog lady on many occasions. The dogs were treated like part of the family and you can see the excitement when they get out of car to go up to her door. I can highly recommend Lauren and clearly seems to be a rescuer of animals as well

Schedule
I offer a dog sitting service for toy breeds, small and medium sized dogs, I treat train my dogs with lots of enthusiasm and encourage lots of play time outside. There is a fenced third of an acre of grassed garden area for the dogs to enjoy, I have a dog room seperated from the kitchen for dogs that are nervous or prefer a quieter environment also with a seperate outdoor enclosed patio area to toilet, away from the other dogs. My two children are over seven years and experienced with x small dogs, delicate breeds and elderly dogs aswell. I have 20years of experience with senior dogs, and dogs with medical issues. I can offer elderly dogs a ride in a soft blanked trolley if they struggle to walk, more treats and softer cuddles, mini massage for those achy muscles and lots of praise and the extra attention they deserve. I also have dog steps for the dogs that struggle to climb or can no longer jump. I can help with new puppies that are still with mum with feeding and weaning and sit with them if you just need to sleep or run errands as I have experience with breeding aswell. I offer carry walks for toy dog breeds and puppies that get tired often or they can be secured in the offroad blanketed trolley or a doggy sling. I do only offer 1 dog overnight boarding. Drop Ins - happy to have them at my own home if you need to pop out or pop into your home for the visit. No minimum stay required. Experienced with nervous rescue dogs, and aggressive dogs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large enclosed garden and two papillions for company, my front door has an inside secondary door for an extra safety measure. I would preferably offer pet sitting services to dogs that are small and medium in size as my own are so small unless its drop in services in which case I am happy to drop in for larger breeds and other pets too! I am very familiar with puppies, training weaning bottle feeding and birthing aswell. It is important to me that your dog trusts me and enjoys our time together, whether it be a drop in or overnight. I am happy for your dog to be crated overnight, or sleep in my room on the bed. I have alot of space for your dog to run wild in our enclosed garden and splash around in our doggy pop up pool in the summer and a seperated patio area if they need a quieter space all with locked gates. I am a freelance photographer so with your permission will be taking lots of photos of your dogs. I do offer lots of carry cuddles for small puppies and senior small dogs that need that extra bit of time to rest. I use a doggy sling to carry them around with me so they get fresh air and smells of a walk. For larger senior dogs that still want to go for walks I can secure them into my offroad trolley and let them enjoy the ride. For senior dogs, they get loved more, praised louder and extra special attention be they absolutely deserve it, I also have some experience with very scared rescue and aggressive dogs, I dont scare easily and woukd instead find a way to get your dog to trust me.

A typical day
We are surrounded by fields and lakes so lots of places for your dogs to explore. I love to stimulate your dogs mind and play games, especially hide and seek, ball games and enjoy lots of cuddles. There will lots of play, find the treats, ball games, hide and seek, socialising (if wanted) and a short walk hopefully leaving lots of cuddle time. Day care price is 7 hours. Extra hours can be requested and must work around school drop off and pick up time.
