CAT SITTING

Cats really do prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home and our cat sitting service is the perfect alternative to a cattery or having to rely on a neighbour’s goodwill.

You can be assured of a personal friendly service for your cat, whereby an experienced cat sitter will come to your home to refresh food & water, clear out litter trays and administer any medication. For cats who prefer it, we love to give them lots of fuss and attention, including brushing their fur, playing and giving them treats.

Because all cats are different and have their own unique personalities, likes and dislikes, we provide an initial visit to meet you and your cat, with enough time to thoroughly go through exactly how you would like us to care for them. This visit is also an opportunity for you to meet your cat sitter and for you to decide whether you are happy for them to care for your cat.

DOG WALKING

You can be assured of a personal friendly service for your dog, whereby an experienced dog walker can come to your home and walk your dog on your preferred route in your own neighbourhood, refresh food & water, administer any medication and, most importantly, give them lots of fuss and attention, including treat training if required.

We never put dogs in vans where they spend long periods waiting for other dogs to be picked up and dropped off and nor do we mass walk them. We walk no more than 3 dogs together and only those that have a good temperament with other dogs and preferably of a similar size and age. If preferred, we can walk your dog singly on their own (this is often a preference for puppies and rescue dogs). If it is cold and wet we will ensure they have their coat on (if they have one) and towel dry them on return.

Because all dogs are different and have their own unique personalities, likes and dislikes, we provide an initial visit to meet you and your dog, with enough time to thoroughly go through exactly how you would like us to care for them. At this visit, we can do a trial walk with you and your dog. This visit is also an opportunity for you to meet your Pet Minder and for you to decide whether you are happy for them to care for your dog.

PETS & HOUSES

Pets:  Small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils & birds can either be cared for at your own home where you can be assured of a personal, friendly service whereby an experienced pet minder will come to your home to refresh food & water, clean out cages etc., and of course give your pet lots of fuss & attention. Alternatively, where practical, your pet can be cared for at the pet minder’s home.

House Sitting:  Our house sitting service provides complete peace of mind for home owners whilst away from home (without the need for anyone to stay over, unless that is preferred).

Our experienced house sitters can do tasks such as check your letterbox is clear of newspapers & leaflets, put bins in & out for rubbish collection, water indoor plants, open & close curtains and water outdoor plants.
