PACK LEADER

Laurie

Laurie is the founder of Adventure Tails Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Services.  Growing up Laurie was always surrounded by pets.  From dogs to birds, to rabbits, she’s always had a special bond with animals. 

Her love of dogs started at an early age when her parents brought home their first family dog, a Miniature Schnauzer, Heidi.  Since then she’s been a volunteer dog walker at a humane society in Melbourne, Australia, and has fostered rescue dogs for 5 years with both the Boston Terrier and Lab Rescue of Ontario. 

​

Spring 2018 saw Laurie moving her family to Peterborough.  Getting back to nature and discovering the wonderful trail system Peterborough offers, is what lead to the basis of her business.  She believed if her family was getting enjoyment from exploring the trails, imagine how happy Peterborough’s dogs would be from being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells abounding in nature.  Adventure is at the heart of her nature, and she can’t wait to share in an adventure with your furry best friend!

Tamara

Tamara, a Trent grad student, realized her love for animals when she was quite young through having pet cats and dogs, fostering cats, and horseback riding.

As she got older she spent 9 years of her free time volunteering at the Kingston humane society.  8 of those years were spent caring for dogs, taking them out for hours on the trails!  She was also cat foster parent for 6 years.  She even cared for birds, rabbits, small critters, and pigs!

She has a love for the outdoors, walking, hiking, biking, running, or sightseeing.  She looks forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet(s), and getting to know their own unique personalities!
