About Laura

I love to explore new places, meet new people and be around animals. House sitting allows me to do all of that while also having time to work remotely as a web designer.

House sitting and pet sitting also gives my little dog, Ruby, the opportunity to explore and make new friends (both human and animal). Our pets lives are relatively short, so I think it's our job to make each day we are lucky enough to be with them special. I'm driven to give Ruby the best life, which has the incredible side effect of also improving mine. I treat any pet under my care as if they were my own and love giving them as many special days as possible.

I've spent years WWOOFing, which means to work on organic farms in exchange for room and board. WWOOF stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, and it's a platform that links visitors (WWOOFers) with organic farmers all around the world. These experiences taught me about permaculture gardening, caring for livestock, landscaping and much more.

In addition to that, I also ran a dog sitting service out of my home for about a year. Plus I have taken on a number of odd jobs house sitting and pet sitting over the years.

However, the greatest testament to my experience caring for pets is in the form of my happy, healthy little dog Ruby. You can rest assure that I will be giving your pet(s) the same love and attention that I give my own dog every day.

My dogs stayed for 2 nights with Laura and her boyfriend. I got frequent photo updates and felt very comfortable with leaving them with her. The dogs had a great time and came home exhausted from having so much fun.

Will definitely have my dog stay with Laura and her partner again. My dog clearly loved being with them. Laura sent me updates and pictures regularly, which was great.
