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.

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

Laurie was great. She kept in touch and sent us on some pictures. She also got us out of a bind last minute after someone had let us down which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend and would definitely send our doggo to her again.

Extremely accommodating when minding Roo when she had no power after a storm and allowing an early morning drop-off. Did her utmost to keep communication open even when coverage was down for both of us. Great sitter.
