Pet care experience

Trusted dog care. Walks & visits 🐾

Hi, I'm Laura! Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years that passion turned into something real. When I lived in Gran Canaria, my partner and I ran a small dog care business where we built lasting relationships with around 20 regular clients. We cared for their pets one at a time, sometimes two, whether at our home, at theirs, or while their owners were travelling. Over time we worked with all kinds of dogs, puppies, seniors, dogs with special needs, and dogs requiring daily medication, as well as a handful of cats. That experience taught us that every animal is different, and that truly good care means adapting to each one. Before that, dogs had already been shaping my life for years. Mateo, a beautiful white Labrador, was my companion for 15 years and taught me what a deep bond between a person and a dog really looks like. Waiki joined our family 9 years ago and still lives happily with my dad in Peru. I miss him every day. More recently, just before we left Gran Canaria, we adopted Penchi, a little rescue who is now 1.5 years old and lives with us here in Oslo. He keeps me active, and he's a daily reminder of how much responsibility and joy a dog brings into your life. I now offer dog walking and in-home pet sitting in Oslo. Your dog stays in the comfort of their own home, gets proper exercise, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Your dog deserves someone who genuinely loves them — and has the experience to prove it. 🐶🌲

Laura y su pareja, Valeria, se encargaron de cuidar a Polenta y a Pandoro durante una semana que estuvimos de vacaciones y todo fue sobre ruedas. Polenta, que es el más timido, se enamoró de ellas y no pasaba de pedirle mimos y a Pandoro, que es un poco terremoto, consiguieron ponerle todos los días su tratamiento (aunque por lo que me dijeron no fue fácil). Fueron muy atentas y profesionales, altamente recomendables :)

Laura was amazing with Kevin, who is a cross breed between a Lab and German Shepard and on top of that he is still a baby that does not realize how strong he is. Nonetheless Laura handled Kevin as a pro and they had fun. She is reliable as an experienced dog walker and dog lover. Thank you Laura and see you next time!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer dog walking and in-home pet sitting, so your pet never has to leave the comfort and security of their own home. I'm happy to follow any house rules, feeding schedules, and routines you have in place. Consistency matters, and I'll make sure your pet's day feels as normal as possible while you're away.

Pets

A typical day

We'll head out for a proper walk through Oslo's parks and forests, letting your dog explore, sniff around and burn off some energy. I'll bring along their favourite toys or find ways to keep them entertained and happy. Every dog is different, so I always make sure the walk fits their pace and personality.

I'm happy to care for dogs of any breed, size or age. To make sure I give your pet the best possible care, it helps to know a few things in advance: their feeding schedule and food preferences, whether they enjoy being petted or prefer their space, any special needs or medical requirements, whether they get along well with other dogs and people, and whether they are neutered. A little insight into their personality goes a long way in making sure they feel comfortable and well looked after from day one.
