Extreme weather care

Dogs are particularly sensitive to extreme weather conditions.

In hot climates, it is advisable to avoid walking your dog during the peak heat of the day to mitigate the risk of heatstroke. Conversely, in cold weather, ensure that you equip them with suitable winter attire to shield them from the cold and prevent frostbite. 

We are able to provide a home visit when the temperatures are excessively hot or cold for your dog.

Our Extreme Weather Care visits offer vital care and attention for your dog, ensuring their well-being in a secure and nurturing environment, when the risks of taking them outside are too great.

  • Personalised care in hot or cold weather
  • Take your dog out safely for short walks/toilet breaks

Pet sitting/small animal visits

Whether you’ve got a cat, rabbit, guinea pig or hamster, we provide a professional pet sitting service so that your pets are well looked after whilst you’re away. We will visit your home once or twice a day to feed your pets, clean out any litter trays, hutches or cages and give them plenty of fuss and attention so that they remain happy and contented until you return.

With our pet sitting service you will also have the added security of having someone you trust visit your house a couple of times a day. We will make sure there is no mail sticking out from your letterbox, take out/bring in wheelie bins, open and close your curtains and water your plants too (if there’s something not already mentioned that you want us to do, just ask!).

  • Personalised care for any small animals
  • Security for your home
  • In your own home for your pets comfort

Meet and greet

We provide a complimentary meet and greet service, enabling you and your pet to determine if you are satisfied with the services I can provide.

This meet and greet service consists of a brief visit to your residence to discuss your needs, allowing your pet to become acquainted with me and vice versa.

It may also involve a short walk with your dog and questions about your your pet's personality to assist me in assessing what will be suitable for your pet.

I will also bring along my ID, my DBS check, insurance certificate and contact information for a reference.

KEEPING SAFE

When you hire someone new, make sure you do your research before you let them into your home and introduce them to your pet.

This means taking (and following up on) references, seeing proof of ID and address, asking for proof of DBS checks and verifying any information they give you independently.  Anyone genuine will not mind.
