Wendys Pet Services

Introduction

My aim is to provide a friendly, personal dog walking and pet sitting service in West Lothian and have been in business since October 2005. All areas of West Lothian and surrounding areas would be considered for dog walking subject to availability. Dog walks can also be provided on an occasional basis. Pet sitting is available throughout West Lothian and surrounding areas.
I am fully insured and police checked.

An initial consultation to assess your pet(s) for dog walking will be provided free of charge followed by a trial period of a month. This period of time will allow us both to decide whether or not your pet(s) needs are being met. Males and females must be neutered and spayed at the appropriate age.

A consultation is also given free of charge to get to know client’s and their pet(s) wishing to use the pet sitting service.
All small animals are considered for pet sitting including cats, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, rats and reptiles.

Pet Sitting

Pet Care In your Home – Subject to availability

Cats – Two calls daily will be carried out except on your departure & arrival days.
Rodents, Birds, Reptiles, etc – one call daily is the minimum accepted
The duration of each call will be a minimum of thirty minutes.

I ask you to accept that I may have to shorten the time spent with your pet due to circumstances beyond my control i.e., a poorly or injured pet in need of either Personal or Veterinary Attention at a previous call. I will however endeavour to make this up during subsequent calls.

I will also take into consideration the time preference of your pet!

If an emergency arises where a trip to the Vet is required, there will be no charge for my time, but travelling costs will be applied. If after-care is necessary, or if at any point I am concerned for the safety of your pet, I will carry out additional calls, with payment to follow.

No refunds will be given for cancellations or early returns, unless due to unforeseen circumstances.

One call will be charged at £7.50 and £13 for two calls.

Dog Grooming

I will be studying ‘Dog Grooming’ at Oatridge College from the 3rd May 2006 and would then be able to offer practical simple cuts for the owner that wishes a clean happy dog that enjoys a good woodland or country walk without taking half the countryside back with him/her on his coat!

This service would be available for those people living in West Lothian area only.
