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 have grown up with a range of different pets from cats, dogs, rabbit, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, tortoises, Beaded dragons, fish and doves. I also have my own pets now, two cats called Sunny and Junior, my three guinea pigs and two gold fish.
I set up Safe and Snug pet sitting services in 2014 as a wanted to provide a professional local pet sitting service, where you can get to fully know and build a close relationship with your pet sitter. I ran Safe and Snug solo which helps the animals build a close relationship with myself. This helps them to feel more comfortable and relaxed, it turn provided a relaxing and stress free experience for every one.
