About Laura

Hello!

I'm a Canadian who has been living in Dublin for 13 years. I'm a restaurateur turned pet minder 🐾

I offer cat visits, overnight dogsitting and dog walking.

My stays range anywhere from 1 night to 3 weeks and I have experience with every breed from a 2kg Chihuahua to a 100kg Pittweiller. I have 6 years professional experience and am comfortable with rescues 💕 I travel all over Ireland, so don't let distance keep us apart! 

Why choose me to care for your beloved pet? When I'm with your furbaby they are my world. That means that on walks there are no earbuds and no phone scrolling {but lots of picture taking!} and on sits I am with them consistently aside from a couple hours per day. 

I have dozens of happy clients and still keep in touch with all of my pet pals 🥰

My services are as follows:

Dog Walk: walk around the neighborhood or park, mess pick up, feeding if needed. I'm currently located in the south city centre and am open to walks in D2 or D6 and D8 depending on times.

Duration - 30 mins

Home Visit : feeding, water, mess pick up, short walk. For cats a walk will be replaced with playtime 🧶

Duration - 30 mins

Overnight Dog/Cat sitting {at your house} - plant watering, trash take out, mail collection, 2 walks per day, mess pick up, feeding and of course loads of playtime & cuddles! I'll send you at least one photo and/or video per day too - probably way more. You'll likely want to tell me to leave you alone 😉 I am available in all areas of Dublin for sits.

Duration - From 3:00 pm on the start day until noon on the last day. I may be able to start earlier the first day depending on my schedule.

I'm also happy to give oral medication if required.

Your pets will have ridiculous nicknames and likely new songs written about them after an hour or two with me!

* There is an extra charge for the following :

- Extra pets 

- Out of central locations {more than 1 bus from my location}

- Staying later than noon on the last day of dog sitting or starting earlier than 3pm on the first day

- Bank Holiday Weekends { Fri to Mon}

* I can only sit in smoke free homes

* Please note Meet & Greet arrangements should be made as soon as possible as I'm unable to reserve tentative dates. After the Meet & Greet,  bookings  will need to be made through the app the same day to lock in your dates 🐾

I would highly recommend Laura. We were very nervous leaving our dogs with a petsitter after having a bad experience with someone else and she really took our worries away from the meet and greet.

You can tell Laura loves dogs and they loved her.

We left our 2 young border collies with Laura for 3 nights/4 days and she kept us updated at all times sending pictures of the dogs and, when in doubt, asked us questions to make sure she was giving them exactly what they needed.

They are not the easiest dogs to walk and get tired as they have so much energy but she managed pretty well with the walks and playing with them so we came back home to two happy dogs.

The house was left as she found it, so no issues there either.

We will definitely reach out to Laura again when we need the best care for our pooches!
