About Laura

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my profile! I'll try and keep it short and sweet for you and please get in touch to discuss anything further.

  • 27 years old, reliable, mature and honest
  • Experienced in overnight minding of animals, and respectful of your home 
  • 4+ years working in the vet industry as a receptionist and part-time wrangle of all animals coming through the door (being a mixed practice meant we got to see every animal you can think of!)
  • Im currently halfway through my degree in Counselling and Addictions, and with many classes being online I have more time to look after your pets!
  • Comfortable working with livestock and horses, so farm lovers can rest easy knowing all your animals are well cared for.
  • 4+ years working as a puppy trainer, your pal will be kept stimulated and physically fit while you're away.
  • I treat every animal I'm with as if they are my own. They will have all my attention, and my goal is to make them love me so much that they're not worried their favourite humans are away! 
  • Always happy to provide photos and videos updating you on your best buddy!
  • I would love to get in touch to discuss your pet's needs. I can offer daily check-ins and overnight stays.

    Laura looked after our cat, Poppy as well as our place while we were away for a couple weeks. It's never easy to leave Poppy even for a day but very quickly I was sure she is in good hands with Laura around. Poppy warmed up to her so quickly and had a great time in her care. When we arrived Poppy was very relaxed, happy and just as chatty as when we left her! Thank you so much Laura for making our time away easier!

    Great job. Very communicative and I could tell my Henri was very well taken care of the entire time I was gone! My place was in perfect condition when I got home and Henri was happy.
