    About Laurie

    We are a family living out the county, with loads of space, surrounded by forestry and a stream for your dog to enjoy. We have 2 lovely dogs a Lab cross, Pepper and an Yorkshire terrier, Pudding, a big ginger cat Eddie and a rescue pony, Pearl. I have always loved animals and have had dogs, horses and cats all my life. I worked in a vets over the summer as a teenager and regularly take care of neighbours and friends animals for holidays at the moment. We are home all day and would welcome your furry friend any time. We have a lot of outdoor space for your dog to enjoy and they would be sleeping in our utility room we can arrange a crate or bed whichever they are more comfortable with and again can have company of our dogs or separately whichever they are comfortable with. We are home all day and are available for bookings 7 days a week. When outside we will keep your dog on a lead or contained in a secure area for safety although we do have good fencing and gates. We will also walk your dog at least twice a day in our forest. Indoor once they are comfortable, they will be free to roam the house and become part of the family. I have experience with a lot of breeds, big and small, I also have had to care for my own and family members' dogs, which are on regular medication and required drops, cleaning, and injections. I regularly mind family and friends, dogs, horses, cats, and tropical fish during holidays, and my house is a drop-in center for dogs. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs including older and unwell dogs which require a little more TLC. I am well used to walking dogs particularly heavier breeds. I have volunteered in the DSPCA, its always a struggle to not bring dogs home with me Dogs will sleep in the utility room in a crate or bed whichever they are more comfortable with. The garden is secure and we have a contained space however will keep dogs on leads when outdoor for safety. Walking will take place in our forest where the dog can access a stream for play. Dogs can roam within our home once they are comfortable.

    Highly recommend Laurie. She took Ziggy for a day and he came back a very happy and relaxed boy, with his new favourite stick as a souvenir from his stay. Ziggy warmed to her immediately and her easy going dogs put him at ease.

    Brilliant service. Penny loved her time at Laurie's and it was great to know she was being well cared for.

    Our dog had a brilliant time with Laurie. She is caring, provides plenty exercise and makes sure that our dog was happy and comfortable. Absolutely brilliant!
