Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my care are treated as part of the family and looked after in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a family home with children who are kind, gentle, and used to being around animals, as well as our friendly 1-year-old Jack Russell, who is well socialised and loves having company. All interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. In my home, pets are never left alone for long periods and their routines are kept as close as possible to what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I carefully consider each booking to ensure it’s a good fit for a home environment and introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and trust. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Information Shelley T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet's temperament, routine, and any special needs. This helps me come prepared and make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, including your pets. Knowing a bit in advance also helps set clear expectations and makes the experience smoother for all of us.

A typical day

I will play games with dogs and ensure they have fun toys to play with. I will also take them on walks around the neighbourhood to experience new smells and stretch their legs with a good run on the nearby fields.

From One Pet Family to Another

Pet care experience

I live in Basingstoke with my family and have been in the UK since 2003, having grown up in South Africa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine a home without pets in it. I share my home with one awesome little Jack Russell who is truly the centre of my heart and my family’s world. Growing up with pets has taught me how important they are as family members, not “just animals,” and I understand the love, patience, and care they deserve. I’m fortunate to work from home, which means I’m always around for my children and our fur baby. This also allows me to offer reliable, attentive care for other people’s precious companions. I have the time, availability, and genuine passion to help give pets the care, comfort, and attention they need while their owners are away.

Shelley took great care for Twix and she kept all her communication perfect. I will definitely repeat Twix boarding if she is available next time as well. She has a lovely dog and he get along very well with my dog. Thank you so much Shelley 🙏🙏

Shelley is great! Kind, reliable and clearly very considerate of not only the cats but also owners. We arrived home and the cats are all very happy 😊 I would highly recommend! ❤️

Shelley's passion and love for dogs is exemplary, she helped me with our Golden Retriever at the drop of a hat , really wouldn't recommend anyone else. Archie loves his visits to Shelleys house . I have peace of mind he is loved and cared for like her own x
