Plenty of love & time to care for your family pet

Pet care experience

Having recently lost our 15 year old much loved rescue cat, Dolly we have a very deep hole & emptiness in our home so made the easy decision to open it up to caring for pets that need a safe and loving place to be while their owners are away. We have always had pets and have experience of many different types and ages. Mum has had a Kairn Terrior, a Westie and 2 Labradors and my Sister has a lovely chocolate Lab that we see regularly so we are used to different sizes of dogs however, living in an apartment now we have decided it is better to care for small to medium sized pets. Potty breaks will be frequent as we are very close to grassy areas and also happy to go for long walks in nearby parks and wooded areas. I myself am a very caring doctor who understands the needs of others, including animals and Mum is a super animal lover who is home full time, so between us we will always do our best to accommodate your requirements to make sure your pets needs are met and will be happy & relaxed while in our care. We have many friends & family members with pets so are around them frequently and both of us have done voluntary care for a dog rescue centre in Cyprus. We have a lot of love to give all types of pets and will take exceptionally good care of your fury family member as if they were our own. As an animal loving family we have experience with many types of dogs, cats, rabbits & guinea pigs. Please message for further information or enquiries of how we can help you & your precious family pet.

Carol took amazing care of our dog Rupert while we were away and we couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond — sending us regular updates and photos, taking him on several daily walks, and even making his fresh eggs (his favourite!). It was such a comfort knowing he was not just cared for, but truly loved. We came home to a happy, relaxed doggo and it’s all thanks to Carol. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!

Jasper had a great first stay with Carol and Simon, who gave him lots of attention and helped him settle in for the night.

Wonderful pet sitting from Carol. We couldn't have asked for a better carer whilst I was away. My cat BB was happy and relaxed, which I could see in the photo and video updates Carol sent me each day. Highly recommended!

The dietary, walking and sleeping needs, so that we can emulate your pets normal routine as closely as possible and accommodate their needs. The more we can match the normal routine the better it is for your fury family member.

Your family pet will be looked after with care and affection and be made to feel very welcome in our home. We will try as much as possible to keep to their same rigime with routine and feeding times and with walks tailored to the pet’s needs; we have nice open green spaces nearby plus fields, woodland & parks in good walking distance. Play time, cuddles and pet conversations during the stay here (or if we visit your home) always come as standard. Our cupboard is always stocked with doggy treats and toys along with blankets and comfortable areas to sleep.
