About Poochy Pets

Hi, I'm Laura, proud owner of Poochy Pets!


I've always been a passionate animal lover, dedicated to providing gentle, loving care.


Every animal holds a special place in my heart, and I believe they all deserve to feel safe and loved. I even have a special needs cat, Tarkov (aka Mr. Pie), who is actually my biological cat baby!

- Marco & Shaida

"I would like to thank Laura, from Poochy Pets, for taking excellent care of our furbabies and our home. Her service was amazing and I was updated and sent pictures daily. Lilly is a diabetic so Laura gave her very good care and loves."

- Terry

"Poochy Pets really goes the extra mile. My pup is a nervous, reactive dog and on top of that she has seizures. My sitter took the time to learn and understand her behaviour with a kind, gentle approach so that my baby would feel safe with her. She also equipped herself with emergency knowledge in case she had a seizure. I couldn't recommend Poochy Pets more!"

- Jess
