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!

Christina loves nothing more than working with animals.  She grew up with rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, horses, and her beloved cat Harold.  She is now mom to her dog Django and ferret Hobbes.

​

Christina has a special interest in animal behaviour, and reactive dogs in particular.   Her previous dog Zoe challenged her thinking about reactivity, and taught her an understanding of control over her own energy and emotion.  Christina's passion for animal behaviour lead her on a path of education where she completed a Canine Specialist course, and is currently enrolled with the Ontario Dog Trainer to become a certified dog trainer.

Christina's positive demeanor and calm energy are beloved by all our clients who meet her, both furry and human!
