Hi, I’m Sarah, offering dog walking, puppy visits and a cat sitting service. Professional, experienced, fully insured and DBS checked.
I have loved all animals from a very early age and have a real passion that all animals are treated with the love and attention they deserve. I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs over the years and now am the proud owner of a pug cross westie and 2 cats.
In 2015 I decided to give up a full time career as a school administrator to start doing what I loved most, which was working with animals and so Wag n Purr Pet Services began – I always offer a high quality, reliable pet service that will guarantee satisfaction for both you and your pet.
I am keen to further my knowledge of animal behaviour and good practice and have recently undertaken a Pet Sitters Diploma and a Dog Behaviour and Psychology course, with the aim of giving you the best service possible.
I am now in the process of completing a dog training diploma, with the intention this will further my knowledge and understanding of the dogs in my charge and be able to offer advise.
Although our pets are a big part of our life there are times, either because of work commitments, or you may have been ill and haven’t the strength to walk a lively dog or you’ve just got a few days holiday. These are times when you may need my help. Wag n Purr Pet Services provide a friendly, reliable service to care for your pet when you can’t. I provide daily or weekly walks for your dog(s) and a visiting service to all domestic pets in their home so your cat(s) do not need to go to a cattery but instead can stay in their familiar surroundings, having a visit once or twice a day so your pet is cared for and fed, with the added bonus of your property being cared for. I will gather up post, re-adjust curtains and water plants. And, just for more reassurance, I drive a regular car with no big advertisements so therefore offer a discreet service that will not alert anyone that you might not be at home.
I will also safely store your house key that you provide in a locked safe at my home to give you peace of mind.
Before you decide to use my services I will need to come and see you and your pet to introduce myself; that way you will be confident your pet will feel happy in my company. This will also give an opportunity to discuss any special requirements.
I will collect your dog from your house and walk for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour – whatever you decide is best for your dog. You can be assured your dog(s) will have a great walk either 1:1 or in a small group, sometimes walked locally or taken a short distance to a dog friendly place to walk and play giving lots of variety and stimulation.
I will visit your cat or rabbit or guinea pig once or twice a day (whatever you decide) ensuring your pet is happy and content. I will feed and water, clean out litter trays or hutches and give plenty of fuss. As well as making sure your pet is happy I can water plants, close/open curtains, pick up mail and generally keep an eye on your property whilst you are away. The visit will last approximately 15-20 minutes.
As we all know when we have a puppy they require lots of attention. If you find that you have to go out for a long period of time and worried about your lovely puppy I can offer a visiting service when I can check that your puppy is happy, clean up if it’s made a mess, let it out to relieve itself, give it some play time, check it has clean water and generally give it a bit of attention that will hopefully wear it out until you return.
