๐Ÿ“ฉ Message us for more info! Laura's Paws is a family run business offering personal, caring and reliable dog walking and pet sitting services in Brightlingsea. We are here for your pets when you can't be - whether that's during the day whilst you work or when you head off on your holidays. We focus on providing bespoke dog walking and pet sitting services based on the individual needs of your beloved pets. We offer individual dog walks, which can be tailored to suit your dog, and small group walks for canine socialisation and play. Our initial consultation with you enables us to get to know your pets so we can decide on the best services for your individual situation โ€“ and you can relax knowing that your dog is out having a great time with us. We can also care for your cats and small pets in your home whilst you are away. We also provide an overnight pet sitting service for dogs so that they can stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, enabling them to maintain their routine as closely as possible, giving you peace of mind that whilst you are away from your pets they are happy and safe. At Laura's Paws we are fully insured, DBS checked and hold a qualifications in Pet First Aid. I (Laura) started Lauraโ€™s Paws in 2018 after returning from a year of travelling New Zealand and Australia. I loved our time spent travelling but there was something missing โ€“ no pets! So we signed up to become pet sitters in New Zealand and were able to care for some amazing pets whilst continuing to explore the country. It was then that I decided I would like to make a career involving my love of animals when I returned home. Emma joined the Lauraโ€™s Paws team in September 2021 after spending almost three years pet sitting around Australia. During that time, she cared for lots of cats and dogs, as well as many different animals - even hermit crabs! She loved spending so much time caring for peopleโ€™s pets, and couldnโ€™t wait to continue when she returned home. Laura has a Level 2 City & Guilds qualification in Dog Walking, a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking diploma from New Skills Academy, and is currently studying Level 3 Canine Behaviour at British College of Canine Studies. She also has qualifications in Canine Body Language and Reactivity from the Dog Training College. Emma has also has a qualification in Canine Body Language from the Dog Training College.

๐Ÿฉท Baby Loss Awareness Week ๐Ÿฉต

Whilst out on our walks over the past week, we've noticed the lovely, supportive displays around Brightlingsea raising awareness of baby loss, and it's really touched our hearts.

This is a subject that is close to home for us, and is something that affects so many families, yet it can often be something people carry quietly, behind the scenes. Everyone's experience is different, and there is no right or wrong way to navigate it.

This week, we're thinking of all the parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby, whether recently or many years ago. Those who are grieving, those who are still hoping, and those who may be finding this week particularly difficult.

Your babies are remembered, your loss matters, and you are not alone.

Sending so much love to anyone who needs it this week ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿค๐Ÿฉท

Happy Sunday Guys! ๐Ÿ’œHope youโ€™ve all had a lovely, relaxing weekend ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ New week coming up, letโ€™s gooo! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿข

๐Ÿฆ  A little reminder about illness & pet visits ๐Ÿพ

With autumn here and the inevitable return of all the colds, coughs, tummy bugs and nursery germs ๐Ÿคง๐Ÿ˜‚, we just wanted to ask for a little favour from our lovely clients.

If anyone in your household is poorly with a cold, flu, sickness bug, COVID or any other virus/illness, please give us a quick heads-up before we arrive to collect your dog or come into your home for a pet visit.

You don't need to cancel your booking โ€” weโ€™d just like to know so we can take a few sensible precautions to help keep ourselves well. โค๏ธ

Emma is currently doing most of the day-to-day work, with Taz and Lynne helping out, while Laura is on maternity leave, but sheโ€™ll also be spending lots of time with Laura, Dan and the children. And weโ€™ve already had a few nursery germs from Oliver! ๐Ÿ˜‚

With baby Alice still being so little and Dan being immunocompromised, weโ€™re particularly keen to avoid bringing any unnecessary bugs home. And, of course, Emma has a very busy schedule and needs to stay well so she can keep looking after all of your lovely pets! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฐ

So please donโ€™t ever feel awkward about telling us someone is poorly โ€” weโ€™d much rather have a quick warning so we can take appropriate precautions than unknowingly walk straight into a house full of germs! ๐Ÿ˜†

Thank you for helping us keep everyone happy, healthy and sniffle-free! ๐Ÿพ

A quick heads-up really does help!

When I say โ€œIโ€™ve got my hands fullโ€ and you think I just mean workโ€ฆ

Nope.

I mean literally ๐Ÿ˜‚

A baby in my arms, a toddler attached to my leg, and the cat apparently supervising from my shoulder ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ

So if your message takes me a little while to respond โ€ฆ this is one reason why ๐Ÿคฃ

Small business owner. Auntie. Human climbing frame. Cat furniture.

A little heads-up! ๐Ÿพ

Lynne will be taking some well-deserved time off next week! After our busiest month EVER since starting Lauraโ€™s Paws, she definitely deserves to put her feet up (or just enjoy a little peace and quiet from me and my daily ramblings & never-ending voice notes ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Itโ€™s been an incredible month, and Iโ€™m so grateful for all your support ๐Ÿ’œ

Please bear with me next week, as I may need to make a few changes to some walk and visit times. If your booking is affected, Iโ€™ll be in touch to let you know.

If you don't need a walk or visit next week, please let me know as soon as possible, as we currently have a waiting list for certain days.

If you need to make any changes to your usual days or times, please let me know by Thursday this week. Iโ€™ll do my very best to accommodate everyone, but please be aware that changes may not be possible.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. And, of course, thank you for keeping us so busy! ๐Ÿถ
