About Laura

Kia ora,

I'm Laura and would love the opportunity to care for your pet/s!
I understand how important pets are, they are a part of the family and I am dedicated to caring for them while you are away.

A bit about me
I have lived in Wellington for the most part of my life and I have had pets throughout my life ranging from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and rats. I currently have 2 rats that I adore (Bubbles and Buttercup).

I have experience working as a pet sitter, dog walker and at a doggy daycare and used to work as a veterinary nurse. I now work for myself as a freelance Graphic Designer and have a flexible working lifestyle where being a pet sitter would be a great addition to my way of life.

My passion for why
I love to give back to my community and volunteered for the Wellington SPCA for 2 years, and would love to look after pets in my community as well and meet like-minded people.

I also understand that finding a pet sitter you can trust can be a challenge, from having this same challenge with my own pets in the past, and I would like to pay this forward and give back where I can.

My availability
I am available throughout the weekdays (Monday - Friday) 10am - 6pm.
Hours are fliexible.

Services I provide
Dog walking: Up to 1 hour, depending on your dogs needs. I can either walk locally or drive to a local park/walking track. Does your dog have a favourite place to explore?
Home visits: 45 minutes - 1 hour, up to two times a day. I can administer medications, water your plants and bring in the mail if needed.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Laura was amazing with my dog, Asher.

She saved the day during the hectic holiday period.

Asher loves playing with Laura and she always takes such good pictures.

Laura was wonderful and so lovely. Excellent and quick communication and response to messages, lots of feedback and photos of our dog to update us on how things were going and a really lovely person. We will definitely be booking Laura again in the future
