 We offer pet sitting (in your home), home boarding (in our
home), drop-ins and walks. We are able to administer oral medication to all
types of pets, from mice and rats to dogs and cats 

We can offer basic grooming where needed, such as bathing
and brushing.  

We are only able to board dogs from the same household at
any one time 

Our dog walks depend on the dog. We can do as little or as
long as they require, please make sure you let us know in advance what your
dog’s capabilities are with walking.  

We can offer up to an hour in the morning, half an hour at
lunch and over an hour in the evenings, weekends and bank holidays sometimes
feature trips to the beach or Lake District if your pooch is ok in the car.  

We live close to both open and secure fields. We visit
secure fields at least once a week with Tess, so even if your dog isn’t able to
be off lead whilst on their everyday walks, they get the opportunity to have a
big run around without the worry of them getting loose. We do also attend a
‘small dogs’ group on a Sunday, and a spaniel meet on a Saturday which is in a
2.5 acre field. Let us know if your dog would be happy coming along too! 

We live near a few parks and there are many walking routes
in our local area that are dog friendly. Let us know how your dog is in the car
for weekend trips to the beach. 

We both work from home on alternate days so someone is
always in the house. We rarely have to leave a pet in our home alone, but it is
always under an hour if needed, and will be in a room separate from our pets.
There is always the option of TV or the radio if this would help keep your pet
calm. 

If your pup is crate trained then we do have a small and a
large crate available, if not then our kitchen and spare room are both available.
We have plenty of spare blankets too! 

Our life revolves around our own pets. They are our number
one priority and come before everything else.  

We have 5 cats and a cocker spaniel puppy called Tess who
absolutely loves dogs. Our cats are quite chilled and won’t bother with your
dog, if your dog is triggered/likes to chase cats then the cats stay on their
own floor in the house with a baby gate and closed door. Our house is over
three floors so with the cats on the top floor, there’s still plenty of room
for our visitors to hang about where they’d like. The stairs are however all
baby gated so we can keep a close eye.  

Let us know where your pet prefers to sleep – we have a
spare room with a double bed and laminate flooring, our kitchen is available
and there is always our bed for those pampered pets! Tess is crate trained and
stays in her crate most nights so she won’t be free roaming around your pet. We
do have a petcam in case your pooch would prefer to stay elsewhere, which
notifies us of any sound or movement so we can keep a close eye.  

We don’t believe pets should be kept off furniture so
everything is fair game! If you’d prefer us not to allow them on the sofa/bed,
please let us know in advance so we can keep them down, but we would prefer not
to – your pet is on holiday too! 

We have a fully fenced garden, which is always accessible.
The double doors are rarely closed and lead straight into the front room which
is where we work from.   

We have a range of paddling pools , cooling mats and sprinklers
for those hot summer days.  

We have plenty of experience with all types of pets. We had
our own rat and rabbit family for several years and our vet is also savvy with
exotics in case we need emergency trips. We are very aware of what to look out
for with rats and rabbits and know how important it can be to get to the vet
ASAP. 

Small pets staying with us will be in the spare room which
will be closed to our pets at all times. The room is quite big and airy, we
also have a petcam that we use to keep an eye on what’s going on. for now we
will need your small pet’s home to come with them. We do not use air
fresheners, plug ins etc. due to our own pet’s allergies to these so you can
rest assured your pets will not be exposed to anything like this. Spot cleaning
takes place a couple of times per day, with a deep clean weekly (depending on
length of stay) 

In terms of feline friends, we know it can be extremely
stressful for cats to be away from home. We have a designated room for our cats
with everything they could possibly need, and your cat won’t be treated any
differently. The spare room has plenty of hiding places, and we do also have a
petcam so we can check they are eating and toileting. There’s also a windowsill
with some lovely views of birds, this also offers some lovely sunbathing spots!
 

We do use wood pellet litter for our cats, if your cat would
prefer something else, please provide this when dropping off.  

We ask that you provide us with your pet’s food and confirm
what kind of treats they like, as well as any allergies or intolerances.  

It would also help if you could let us know of any training
your dog has so we can keep their brains entertained! We have plenty of puzzle
feeders, snuffle mats and other enrichment toys to keep them ticking over.  

When dropping your pets off, we would ask you bring 

- Their food and any treats (we will supply treats
too) 

- Any toys they absolutely love 

- Blanket with the smell of home on 

- Bed if your pet prefers their own bed

- Change of bedding for small furries (we have
straw and hay available) 

- Collars/harnesses 

- Collar with a legal tag on 

- Lead  

- Any specialist shampoo if your dog isn’t ok with
Bugalugs 

- Home for small furries – rats, hamsters etc  

You don’t need to provide 

- Poo bags – we have plenty! 

- Wipes/towels 

- A huge amount of toys. A few is ok!
