About Laura

Hi there, I’m Laura.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities – Growing up I was that kid frequently bringing home injured or orphaned animals much to the dismay of my parents! 

Having cared for cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, cows, rabbits, goats, ducks, fish - I’ve never not had animals in my life and this subsequently manifested on a professional level where I have coordinated and wrangled horses and animals for film and television both here and overseas in the past. I still do this on a casual contract basis and really love any work I get to do with animals.

I currently have a wee menagerie of my own, consisting of two senior cats, a very affectionate staffy cross lab dog (who loves to play with other friendly dogs), two horses and a flock of sheep plus chickens that I keep at a farm I manage. 

My services: 

Residential Home visits – I will feed your cat or any other small animals you have (lifestyle blocks and farms also welcome, see below), give plenty of cuddles, playtime and/or grooming (on their terms of course!) administer any meds if required, top up water and feed bowls, clean litter trays, water plants, bring mail in and turn on/off lights etc. I provide updates and photos of your fur babies every visit and let you know if anything else catches my attention or if I spot anything of concern. 

Lifestyle blocks/Farms – I can carry out the above as I do for normal residential households, plus feed out to any stock you have, check water troughs, rotate animals to new paddocks or move electric tape if needed, make sure no one has escaped through any fences, carry out visual checks for health issues or injuries, fly strike, etc. I am also competent driving a quad bike if required. Please send me a message regarding pricing for this, as I can do a package discount for multiple animals.

Dog boarding/Day outings for younger or higher energy dogs – I can offer overnight dog stays/day outings on a case-by-case basis at my place. Best suited to dogs happy to have a good play with my own dog and are respectful with cats, plus must not have a high prey drive with farm stock as I take them out to the farm for exercise, which I find they love as it’s essentially one massive private dog park for them to run around and play at. Dogs must be up to date with flea treatments and vaccinations.

Please contact me first to chat before requesting this service to make sure it will work for your pooch. If it does suit, I can promise they will have a wonderful time and they will be treated like one of my own J

Dog walking for older/lower energy dogs – If you have a dog with lower energy levels or who is a bit older in their golden years, I can come by and take them out on a local 30 minute walk at a pace that suits them. 

I am based out West, but can do visits to the following areas: West Auckland, North West, Central City. 

 Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or queries regarding my services. 

 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies J
