Drop-In Visits • aug. 18, 2025

Craig was lovely. Very friendly and put us at ease. His communication was excellent, he took great care of our home and our cats. We were given great daily updates with photos. He tried his hardest and made progress with our 'challenging cat!' We hope to use Craig's services again in the near future!

Schedule

With our dynamic hybrid work setup, my husband and I ensure there's always a loving presence at home for your furry friends. Our dachshund, Dobby, is an integral part of our family, relishing walks in the country park and beach adventures right on our doorstep. He even hops in for the school run, enjoying every car ride along the way. Your pets will feel right at home in our cozy, caring environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Our secure, fenced back garden offers a safe haven with ample room for play and frolic, away from any street access. Safety is paramount, and during car rides, all dogs are securely restrained either in a crate or with a seat belt tie, fully compliant with UK laws to ensure their well-being. Inside, we prioritise your pet's comfort and health with stair gates to prevent unauthorisd stair use, safeguarding the backs of our dachshunds and other small breeds. However, cozy cuddles are always welcome, with dog safe steps provided for easy access to the sofa or bed whenever needed.
