About Me

​

My name is Laura. My love for animals started at a very early age and I could not imagine a single day without them.  

​

I set up Safe and Snug pet sitting services in 2014 as a wanted to provide a professional local cat sitting, pet sitting and dog walking service, where you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving the best possible care from a qualified, experience local animal carer. I ran Safe and Snug pet sitting and dog walking services solo which helps the animals build a close bond and relationship with myself. This helps them to feel more comfortable and relaxed when your away, which in turns makes the whole experience more enjoyable and stress free for your pets. It also means i can build a close relationship with all my clients and be able to meet all yours and your pets specific needs.
