About Laura
Hello! I am an experieced, caring and reliable sitter looking to assist where I can with your beloved hound(s). I have grown up with dogs and treat them as if they are my family!

Most recently, my flat featured as the welcoming home two rescue greyhounds (separately) for a few months. These beautiful greys have since found their forever families, however it was such a pleasure having these gentle giants as part of my life and sharing my space with them! I would jump at the opportunity to foster again, however, I have since moved and am currently living in a beautiful sharehouse in Prahran/Windsor and not able to bombard my flatmates with too many furry friends.
I am open to dog-sitting from my sharehouse, however I will need to run it by my flatmates on a case-by-case approach. I live in a large sharehouse with a fully fenced back yard. Alternatively, I would be open to do some dog-sitting from your place.

I have a few years exerience dog-sitting casually for friends and family. I have always been happy to travel and accomodate my time to suit the needs of each owner and dog. I have experience with a range of breeds and sizes, including reactive larger dogs, anxious greyhounds, very active border collies and pugs that are living life in the slow lane. But I adore them all the same.

A bit about me: I absolutely love to get out and about, so if your dog is keen for exercise and adventures...we have a match! I enjoy exploring new neighbourhoods, walking to the best coffee spots and reading a book in the sun on a weekend. I also have a car which means exploring and walks on the beach or bush walks could be on cards. In saying all this, I am also incredibly flexible and will tailor my time with your dog to suit their needs. If they just want to lounge around all day, fine by me.

I currently have the flexibility of working from home and enjoy a long lunchtime walk to make the most of the sunshine (if/when Melbourne turns it on). During our time together, I will send lots of updates of our adventures to give you peace of mind and reassure you that your pooch is in good hands and I am treating them as if they are my own (absolutely spoiling them).

Laura looked after our two dogs for one week when we lived up in Noosa. It was great having lots of photo updates and knowing the dogs were in safe hands.

Laura has looked after my two large dogs in Cairms for a month in May-June 2021. I couldn't recommend her more. My two girls and her developped such a beautiful bond, and were spoiled with affection, cuddles and walks. Laura managed to look after my Rottweiller X Nola, who has fear aggression tendencies and needs to be walked with a muzzle always. She looked after my house so well leaving it cleaner than what it was to start with, and gave me daily updates all throughout my trip. You'd be lucky to have someone as kind, loving and responsible as Laura to look after your fur babies.
