Hi, I’m Laura — a dog owner based in Marshland, Christchurch, with a lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m currently taking a break from work in broadcasting/event management and have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to dog walking and pet care. I’m a proud dog mum to two friendly boys, Humphrey (Pug) and Winston (Pug/Griffon cross), so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and the importance of consistency, patience, and trust when caring for someone else’s pet. When walking dogs, safety is always my priority — I keep dogs on-lead unless otherwise agreed, stay aware of surroundings at all times, and always come prepared with waste bags. I regularly walk around local Christchurch parks and neighbourhoods, so I’m very familiar with safe and enjoyable walking routes. I’m happy walking energetic dogs, small dogs, or older dogs who prefer a gentler pace, and I always adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced local dog walker who will treat your dog as carefully as I treat my own, feel free to send me a message — I’m happy to chat and arrange a meet-and-greet.
