Second City Pet Services

Who are we?

Hi, I’m Eleanor!

I set up Second City Pet Services in 2015 in Birmingham to  offer a friendly and reliable dog walking and pet sitting service for Stirchley, Selly Park, Bournville and some parts of Kings Heath. I love all animals and have lots of experience handling and caring for most types of pet.

Update! We now have Alex and Kate on the dog walking team so we can offer our services to even more happy dogs and their owners.

What do we offer?

We understand that it’s sometimes difficult to give your pets all the care and attention they need when you work long hours, have family commitments or take that much needed holiday.

A happy dog gets lots of regular exercise, stimulation, play and interaction with people and other dogs. We’re here to provide all of that when you’re not around. We will treat your dog as if it’s our own and provide whatever level of care you require: from a brief visit to feed, let out or even just fuss your pet or lots of regular long walks around their favourite local park.

We can also visit your home to care of other pets that may need food, water or to be let in/out while you’re not at home. Just get in touch any time to arrange a meet and greet. We’ll come to your home, meet you and your pets and discuss your needs. Everyone is fully insured and police checked so you can be sure we provide a trustworthy and professional service for you and your precious animals.

Where?

We care for pets in Stirchley, Selly Park, some of Bournville & Kings Heath in south Birmingham.

Please contact me if you’d like to arrange dog walking, cat sitting, puppy visits or have a query about the services we offer. I’m confident we can help and look forward to hearing from you!

Services & Prices

Dog walking
Your dog walker will collect your dog from home. We will walk for either 30 or 60 mins and the dog will be returned home and settled. On wet days I ask you to leave a towel near the door for wet/muddy paws so your dog is dry and warm for the rest of the day. Dogs can be walked on or off lead, this is decided by you. They will remain on lead at all times until we are in the park and away from roads.

Puppy Visit
We know that a new puppy can be very demanding but we are here to help. Before your puppy is ready to be taken for long walks we can visit them while you’re out to feed and clear up after them, to play and keep them company and take them for short walks. This will help to socialise the puppy and keep their young minds stimulated, discouraging bad behaviour or habits setting in from day one. We will visit them at home for 20 minutes.

Dog/Cat/Pet Visit
This service would be suitable for older dogs who aren’t walked a lot, cats or other pets that need extra company while you’re away from home. I will visit your home for <20 minutes to let the animal out/in, feed, change water or litter trays as well as play and interact with your pet. I can administer any medication if you provide written instructions on how to do so.

Meet & Greet
If you’d like to arrange any of the services I’ve described, or have any other requests, then please get in touch to arrange a meet and greet. I will come to your home to meet you and your pet. We will discuss the services you require and I will need to ask a few questions about your pet. I’m sure we’ll all get on fine! If so, I will arrange obtaining a spare key from you. All keys will be kept securely and away from any personal information I retain from you. My insurance policy covers loss of keys; I am more than happy to show you the policy, if required, along with my police check.

For no extra cost I can do any other small tasks such as feeding fish, watering plants, collecting post or closing curtains while I visit your pet.
