Pet Carers Limited

About Us

Kim –
Having grown up with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters it was inevitable that I would end up working with animals!
Over 30 years ago whilst living in Hyde Park barracks, London I began dog sitting and walking, often taking care of the officers animals when on duty.

Now based in Totton the doggy family consists of the Dachshunds Dolly, Charlie and Teddy and Lottie who are all kept in check by Guinevere the British short hair cat.

Bookings –
Pet Carers prides itself on its excellent reputation and as such most of our current bookings come from returning customers, word of mouth and recommendations from veterinary practices around Southampton however we always welcome new dogs to one of our dog sitting families so please get in touch!

We always try to book your dog with the same carer for future holidays to build up a relationship.

Our Carers –
Along with setting our own very high standards our carers are licensed (where required) by local authorities under the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018 which are very thorough, this means they are subject to regular checks together with full annual inspections.

Many of my carers have been with me for over 10 years so are very experienced, enjoy what they do and love opening their homes for your dog’s holiday.

I consider all my carers to be friends and as my own dogs are as precious to me as yours are to you I have no carer that I wouldn’t be happy to leave my own dogs with.

Prices

We like to think of ourselves as a friendly, local business and as such we like to keep our pricing and services as simple as possible!

What Next?

So you’ve seen our prices, you know all about us and the only thing left to find out is “What happens next?”

1. Call Pet Carers when you know the dates you are looking for.

2. Pet Carers will ask you some questions in order to determine who would be most suitable for your dog.

3. Your carer will telephone you and invite you to come along with your dog for a meeting. For peace of mind we like this meeting to take place within a week – ten days in which time the dates will be held for you.

4. On meeting we ask you to fill in a registration form giving your carer as much information as possible on your dog – this includes their daily routine, walking habits and any other information you think is necessary. The more we know about your dog the better.

5. If everyone is happy at this meeting then we take a deposit from the final amount which will secure your booking.

6. When it is time for your holiday then you can drop your dog off with the carer at the agreed time, remember to bring all your dogs possessions for his/her stay!

7. Balance of the fee is payable to the carer on collection of your dog.

Small Breed Doggy Daycare in Totton

We offer a bespoke day care service for small breeds only.

Your dog(s) will be kept safe, happy, entertained and cherished while you are at work. They will stay with myself and John in our family home with free run of the house and garden.

We have a lovely bungalow with enclosed garden and plenty of cosy areas for your dog to chill out in or equally join in with our own four dachshunds who are very welcoming to our guests.

There is air conditioning for those hot summer days, central heating for the colder months and lovely sofas to cuddle up on. We offer plenty of enrichment, besides walks, there is the paddling pool and lots of other boredom buster games.

There is someone at home full time and we take daily walks in the lovely New Forest and surrounding areas.

We take security very seriously and have double back gates, double entry porch, high fences and CCTV. Dogs are transported for walks in secure crates in our car for safety.

We take a maximum of two small dogs at a time (sorry no un-neutered males or bitches in season) and our hours are 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday for which the charge is £23 per day per dog.
