Safe Hands Pet Services

WELCOME 

My name is Holly and animals are truly my passion in life. Caring for any animal, from dogs to degus or cats to cockatoos, is what I enjoy most. I have owned and cared for many pets over the years and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet will get just as much love and attention as they would from you while you are not around.

If working full-time is making it difficult to fit in all the walks your dog would like, illness or injury mean you need some short term help or if you are just not able to take your dog with you for that day away, I can provide a reliable and trustworthy dog walking service.

Puppies and kittens need a lot of attention and care in the first months of their lives, I can help here too by popping round while you are at work to check your little ones, clean up any accidents, give cuddles and play – I can also continue any training you are undertaking with your pet to help ensure consistency and improve your pets rate of learning. Perhaps you are looking to take a hard earned holiday and would prefer to leave your pets in the comfort of their own home. Our pet sitting service will ensure your pets are fed, watered, cuddled and played with in line with your wishes, I also clean out litter trays and cages as required.

DOG WALKING

I adore dogs and I want your dog to be safe and to have a great time whilst with me. I can offer social walks in carefully chosen groups of no more than 6, or on a solo basis depending on your dog’s needs. The safety and health of your dog is always our top priority, so I will generally walk all dogs on a lead unless you, as the owner, are confident that it is not required and provide written consent for your dog to be walked off the lead. Pace and distance of walks will be adjusted to ensure an appropriate and enjoyable walk – from gentle, chilled out walks for our more senior dogs, to lively, fast paced walks for those who need to burn off some energy. Whatever the style of walk I aim to provide plenty of fun and mental stimulation. Whilst with your dog I can continue any training you are undertaking with your pet to help ensure consistency and help ensure your dog is trained in no time, I am also happy to administer medication as required. At the end of each walk, muddy paws will be wiped to help ensure your home stays spick and span. I will also leave you a note giving details of our walk – did your dog have fun, meet friends, seem happy and content? Walks can be on a regular or adhoc basis.
