"When, I first met Laoise when she was organising the Pedigree Chum Dog spa at Ireland’s first Pet Expo in 2006. She was utterly professional in her duties and displayed her obvious caring attitude towards dogs and people. From that time I have seen her passion for all animals, their welfare and requirements, but dogs remain her number one focus. Over the years she has shown and developed her knowledge of the breeds and has undertaken studies to improve her understanding of behaviour and training and I have been delighted to help her in her professional development. Her commitment to her new business of OUTPAWS reflects her personality and drive to innovate. She is honest, trustworthy, fun and caring and if her charges could talk they would unanimously agree that with Laoise, Life is more than a walk in the Park."
– Jim Stephens, Owner at the Pet Behaviour Centre
"Our pups love Laoise!!! We were super nervous pet parents new to Dublin from the US and were very worried about finding someone new here to mind our beloved fur babies. Meeting Laoise put our minds at ease. She was so open to our special requests and very communicative about the pups' activities while also being a lovely, considerate, trustworthy guest in our home. We're excited about all the new travel possibilities. THANK YOU, LAOISE!!!"

"I have never been able to leave my dogs at kennels...I just wouldn’t be able to relax knowing that the experience could be extremely stressful for my boys, especially as one of them is of a nervous disposition. Therefore, I went looking for a pet sitter and found Laoise from OUTPAWS. Laoise has dog-sat my two senior boys several times now and I’ve been able to enjoy my holiday knowing that their every need, including medical requirements, are taken care of. Laoise sends regular updates with pictures and I’m never surprised to see that the boys have welcomed her into their home whilst quickly claiming her lap and sharing cuddles! If you want your furry babies to feel safe and loved while you’re away, without the upheaval and stress of being in a new environment, then Laoise from OUTPAWS is your person!"
