A home isn't a home without a pet

Pet care experience

My name is Sally and I am a HUGE (borderline crazy) animal lover with a fully accredited Diploma Qualification in Pet Care, Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I have had pets since I was a child and i'd have a house full if my husband would let me. We currently just have our not so little Barry, a 6 year old British Blue who has Asthma & Heart disease - all managed with medication and he is generally well in himself. Friends, family & neighbours all rely on my services during holiday periods. This ranges from Dogs, Cats and Rabbits to Tortoises. Your pet will be treated as my own, spoiled rotten with playtime, snuggles & treats and cared for the way you would yourself. I am also experienced in administering medication to pets, as Barry requires lots of tablets/liquids & inhalers twice a day. You will be sent daily updates, photos & videos and I can also offer any additional requirements such as visits to the vets, any special exercise needs (I am fit and healthy, perfect for those who need longer walks or even runs) or even chauffeur service in instances where you simply don't have time to drop off/pick up yourself and it is one less thing you need to be worrying about. Our home is a pet-friendly and safe space, with plenty of room, indoors & out, for them to play and explore or just nap on the sofa. They will be free to roam around our spacious home, with few exceptions like the kitchen worktops ;-) And to add to it, at the end of our road, is a popular park for dog walkers, Tandle Hill Country Park, where your dog would love to stretch their legs. If my friends had to sum me up in one sentence it would be "Sal would rather spend time with animals than humans" ****RECURRING BUDDY will get 1 NIGHT FREE for boarding's or home stays booked for 5 nights or more**** PLEASE NOTE: ***Doggy Day Care - Is priced up to 8 hours. Anything over this will incur additional charges at £5 per hour. ***Cleaning Charges - In cases where pets do have little accidents whilst at my home, there will be a £20 charge for cleaning where necessary. For example, if they piddle on the carpet. This is why I ask that any pet is house trained before staying - I can't spend my time constantly cleaning pee ;-)

Sally is so lovely, she’s absolutely amazing with Samson treated him as her own. He Made himself right at home. Sally sent me regular pics and videos of him throughout the day & night, having fun on walks, playing in the garden and snoring in bed 🫣🤣 I would 100% recommend her, Samson loved his stay 🖤 Thankyou For Looking After My Boy xxx

Safety, trust & environment

As in my experience section, I want you to feel comfortable and that you can trust your pet is going to be well cared for. If you have specific routines/requirements, then I am more than happy to accommodate these. My home is a safe & secure space and I have a large back garden which is fenced for those pets who are allowed outside under my watch of course.

Information Sally K. would like to know about your pet

If you have specific routines/requirements, then I am more than happy to accommodate these, all I ask is you give clear instructions as to what it is you expect. IMPORTANT - For BOARDING & DAY CARE, it's important that your pet is house trained. Most that book boarding's & day care are fully trained to be fair, but I wouldn't want to waste any of your time by doing a meet & greet if they are not going to be suitable. ***Cleaning Charges - In cases where pets do have little accidents whilst at my home, there will be a £20 charge for cleaning where necessary. For example, if they piddle on the carpet. This is why I ask that any pet is house trained before staying - I can't spend my time constantly cleaning pee ;-) In cases where they aren't house training, why not take a look at HOUSE SITTING where I come to your home as an alternative option.

A typical day

Doing activities with your pet not only strengthens your bond, but also provides physical and mental stimulation, which promotes overall good health. For those canine friends, spending a day swimming and exploring a beach or lake is so much fun, some dogs are more like mermaids, so let them be part of that world! (following all safety measures is a must - not all dogs can swim). I will go for walks or runs with your dog, but if you have a dog that is more relaxed and just wants Netflix & Nap, then I am more than willing to participate with some treats for both of us. Playing in a sprinkler in summer, leaves in autumn or snow winter, whatever the weather, your pet will be stimulated as they should be. I will play, relax, snuggle, pamper and will try and think outside the box such as teaching new tricks for those that need more mental stimulation.
