    About Laurie

    Diploma in Animal Care. Animal lover ❤️ Previously worked as a zoo keeper and in an Animal sanctuary with dog kennels in the UK. We have our own very friendly beagle at home so your dog will be well minded and have great company. Walkies in the local woods every day, lots of fuss and attention. We love all dogs however small dogs are more suited to our home. Henry the beagle sleeps on the couch and would love a snuggle buddy. We have a small, walled garden with lots to sniff and dig. I studied a two year Diploma in Animal Care and worked in Colchester Zoo and an animal sanctuary kennels in Kent. I have volunteered with the Gspca fostering dogs short term in the past. I am a member of a beagle meet up group of about 20 beagles. Needless to say, dogs are never far from my side. I have a small but cosy home with a walled garden. My own dog has never been keen on a dog bed so sleeps on the couch. There are a number of beautiful countryside walks surrounding our home. Monivea woods, Derrydonnal woods and Loughrea lake are also some of our favourite walking spots.

    Great dog sitter. Communication was perfect and nothing is an issue for Laurie.

    Laurie was fantastic! She made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. Charlie had a great first stay with Laurie and her lovely daughter Alice. I would highly recommend her dog care service. She sent us lovely photos and updates about how Charlie was getting on! It was a home away from home for Charlie!

    Laurie was fantastic! Great communication before and during Obi’s stay. Very clearly a dog loving home😄 I highly recommend Laurie to others.
