Highlights
Pet care experience
Perfect Paws Daycare & Boarding
Specialising in elderley and small breeds. 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 and knowledge with, toy breeds, smaller breeds, especially elderley and rescue and I've always treated my dogs like my children and play with them just as much, especially hide and seek. I am always catching up on learning/studying animal behaviours. I have a love for creating a bond with each and every dog I care for and do everything I can to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable. 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. 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 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, even a spot on the bed they your dog is comfortable with me. 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 (from same household) 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, I pride myself in learning their language and understanding your pets behaviours and then I will most likely fall in love with your dog. If your dog is elderly and likes to cuddle most of the day, your dog will of course get a little doggy back massage to help those bones and taken on a walk sitting in a buggy (if wanted).

Ratings and reviews
Our miniature Schnauzer had a lovely time with Lauren. She provided amazing care and was so loving and caring throughout. We could tell our pup was happy, comfortable and well looked after. We would happily recommend Lauren.
Lauren is so good with Bob who always enjoys spending time with her and the papillons
I recently had Lauren look after my dog Bacon, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! It was clear from the start that Lauren genuinely loves animals — Bacon was so well cared for and came home happy and content. She also recommended a food brand that Bacon is now obsessed with — such a lovely little bonus that really showed how much she cared! I will 100% be using Lauren again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter. Thank you, Lauren!
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, my passion lies here with the senior dogs. 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 and a spot of the bed if thats where they used to sleeping. This all applies to toy breeds, XS and small dogs and eslecially the super nervious ones. 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 blanketed trolley for dogs that cant or wont walk, so they get to experience to outside. 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. Passionate and experience with elderley/senior 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 toybreed, small and medium in size as my own are so small unless its drop in services you are looking for in which case I am happy to drop in for larger breeds and other pets too! If have an elderley large dog I am happy to consider daycare or boarding for the larger senior dogs 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 third of acre 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. For senior dogs they will extra special attention like a little back massage so help achy bones, and young dogs lots games and play, I also have experience with very scared rescue and aggressive dogs, I dont scare easily and would instead find a way to get your dog to trust me and spend time learning their language and understanding their behaviour.
Pets
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. I am more than happy to even take your dog paddle boarding so long as you have a lifejacket for your dog. 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. I do have a form to fill in to make sure I have all information needed.
Prices include all fees.
