Happy Paws

PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER AND DOG WALKER

My name is Catherine Tromans and I am the proud owner of Happy Paws. I am a qualified registered Veterinary Nurse, living in Witchford, Ely, with over 20 years experience in animal care, welfare and health. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005 and I am very passionate about responsible pet ownership.
I have two cats of my own called Bailey and Wilbur – 8 year old brothers who live for mischief (and their food!). Having worked at Cambridge Veterinary Group (south of Ely) for the last 19 years, I am experienced in handling and caring for dogs, cats, small furries and also exotic animals; CVG is a practice that specialises in exotic species.

SMALL ANIMAL VISITS

AS A QUALIFIED VET NURSE WHO WORKS IN A VET PRACTICE THAT SPECIALISES IN EXOTIC SPECIES I AM EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED IN HANDLING SMALL FURRIES, REPTILES AND BIRDS. WE OFFER TWICE DAILY VISITS TO YOUR HOME IN OR NEAR ELY, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE FEEDING, CLEANING OUT CAGES, CHANGING WATER BOTTLES/BOWLS AND MONITORING FOR ANY SIGNS OF ILL HEALTH WHILST YOU ARE AWAY.

​CAT SITTING

CATS ARE CREATURES OF HABIT AND EASILY GET STRESSED BY A CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT. OUR CAT SITTING SERVICE ALLOWS YOUR CAT(S) TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOME – A PERFECT, AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE TO A CATTERY WHILST YOU ARE AWAY. WE OFFER TWICE DAILY VISITS AND DURING EACH 20- 30 MINUTE VISIT CATS ARE FED, LITTER TRAYS CHANGED, BOWLS CLEANED AND CUDDLES AND ATTENTION GIVEN IF THIS IS WHAT YOUR PET WOULD LIKE. PLEASE DISCUSS WITH US ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS YOUR PET MAY HAVE.

DOG WALKING/DAY VISITS

EXERCISE AND MENTAL STIMULATION FOR YOUR DOG WHILST YOU ARE AT WORK/OUT ALL DAY OR MAYBE YOU HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ILL OR REQUIRED SURGERY. WE OFFER A VISIT SERVICE THAT CAN INCLUDE A WALK OR JUST A PLAY IN THE GARDEN. WE WILL ALSO CHANGE WATER BOWLS AND CLEAN OFF PAWS. WE TEND TO DO SOLO WALKS SO YOUR DOG(S) GETS ONE-TO-ONE ATTENTION. OCCASIONALLY WE MAY WALK YOUR DOG WITH ONE OTHER DOG IF APPROPRIATE AND WITH YOUR PERMISSION.
