Reliable, trusting and loving

Pet care experience

I live in Eastville Bristol and am available to walk your dog, drop in daily, stay overnight, or have them at mine. I live next to Eastville Park and Stokes Park, which are perfect for dog walks. I can walk multiple dogs at a time, but do let me know if you need your dog to be alone. My garden is big and has a private river at the end so they can swim happily if they want to on a calm water day! I have experience with horses, cats, bunnies, chickens, lizards, goats, ...anything! I have worked for butternut box dog food, so am clued up on nutrition and health. This ties into my love of herbalism and natural therapies. I have volunteered in Greece, caring for around 70 cats and a few dogs, medicating them, feeding them etc. Huncho is also special needs (suspected down syndrome) which has made me a lot more aware and sensitive to the mental side of conditions in dogs. It’s been a real learning curve! My family also have a gorgeous rescue (Moose) who can be rather sensitive, so again helped me understand rescues and their mysterious past. I have experience training, basic first aid and have looked after new born puppies and kittens as well. If you would like to meet before hand I will be more than willing. I am an artist and photographer so cute photos guaranteed! See pics for pet portrait example, if you would like to pay extra for a painting/drawing let me know. I am super passionate about animals and care, really respectable about your home and will make sure it is left perfectly for you.

Couldn’t have been happier with Laurie. 100% trustworthy. From the moment we met we felt confident that our hound was in safe hands. Cooper has made a friend for life! Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Laurie, so happy we found you!!!

Laurie is a delightful and caring lady. She took such good care of my two schnauzers and my property! I would highly recommend her. I didn't have to worry about anything, Laurie kept me informed with the app of their behaviour which was great.... proving they were more than happy to have Laurie looking after then! One of my dogs is a newly acquired rescue and he took to Laurie straight away... showing how much he trusted her!! Thankyou Laurie ?
