Peddle & Paws is a professional dog-walking and pet-sitting service in La Salle, Manitoba. It has been in operation since July of 2013. Peddle & Paws is owned and operated by Laurie Peddle, who is a Certified Professional Pet Sitter, a member of Pet Sitters International, and is certified in Pet First Aid and CPCR for Pet-Care Professionals through Pet Sitters International. Laurie regularly takes courses to enhance her pet-caring skills. She also volunteers at the Winnipeg Humane Society.
Laurie has always loved animals so when she retired from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, she started her dream business – a dog-walking and pet-sitting service. Since then, she has met some wonderful pets and pet owners! She has had the opportunity to care for old pets and young pets, small pets and bigger pets, furry pets and non-furry pets.
Laurie started Peddle & Paws because she loves animals and wants to help care for them in a professional, loving way when their owners are not able to – not only for the sake of the pets, but also for the sake of the people who love them.
