About Laura

I have recently received a Distinction in both Level 5&6 Advanced Animal Care where my subjects included Canine Behaviour Training, Animal Welfare, Dog Grooming, Kennel&Cattery Management. I have undertaken work experience in Dogs Trust, various vets practices and pet retail stores where I handled many dogs of various breeds, but also a range of small animals from hedgehogs, rats and gerbils to budgies, cockatoos and terrapins. I also have 3 years experience volunteering with GSPCA looking after all types of rescue cats, from kittens to geriatric. I have had many of my own dogs and cats throughout childhood and the recent past. I am enthusiastic about the welfare of all animals and hope to provide an excellent standard of service with your pet.  

In my free time I can offer to visit your pet up to twice a day if you are unavailable to feed, walk or take care of their toilet duties. On occassion, I can also cater for boarding in my apartment, or stay in your home and take the utmost care of your dog, cat, bird, rabbit, hamster, guinea pigs... or any other beloved pets you may have while you are away. I can administer medication and provide endless scratches behind the ear.

My apartment is spacious and safe with a gated courtyard downstairs, and the building is pet-friendly so there are often other doggos around. 

I live nearby several parks including The War Memorial Park, IMMA, Turvey Pak and Phoenix Park if you simply need your pooch taken for a stroll when you're busy. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!

Highly recommend Laura! She looked after our whippet, Chickpea, for a week in our home while we were on holiday. Laura has excellent communication and provided updates during the week. Chickpea was very well looked after! Thanks again :)

< 5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I volunteered with GSPCA for 2 years while I was a student in Galway. The cattery was always very busy with new arrivals and people looking for a potential new pet. I assisted in deep cleaning all cages and replenishing bedding, litter and food. A number of cats required medication which I administered. I also had access to the quarantine area which needed special attention due to the infectiousness of the animals in there. Socialising and recording all behaviours of each individual cat was an important part of the role also.
