"Thank you so much Lisa for caring for FiFi so well. We were so thrilled to come home to our wee girl who looked so loved and cared for. We loved your wee notes telling us how she was doing in our absence. Bless your heart for the wonderful work you do and the peace of mind you give to us while we are away from our very treasured pet." Jules and Brian Walker and FiFi

"Grateful thanks Lisa. Your tops in our eyes. Rosco fine and letting us know we left him. Looking forward to doing business with you again. Spreading the word about your service." Ron & Collene Cheyne

"Alana, thank you so very much. We had an idea of what to expect but the service you have provided is outstanding. We will be mentioning you to friends and be calling upon your services in the future. Tyson was very relaxed and happy when we got home, he’s usually a bit put out, so you worked wonders. Thanks"

"Thank you for caring for Tuppence, Zhoey and Hedgehog. Wonderful to be able to have our pets stay in their own surroundings and keep their daily routine (especially our blind, elderly dog). Our dogs and cat were happy and relaxed when we got home." Catherine and Michelle

"I worried so much about leaving Boofy(esp) but needn’t have- all animals well and happy. Thank you so much for looking in on Grandad too"

SERVICES

Pet sitting visits: Your Pet Sitter will visit your pets in their home to feed and care for them. A typical visit is to check the house, collect the mail, clean the bowls, give fresh food and water, change or scoop the litter tray if necessary, give any medication, give you Dog or Cat a brush, cuddles, walk and spend enough time to ensure they are happy. Pet minding visits can be once a day, twice a day, or more/less often than his, depending on what sort of pets you have, what they are used to and how much you want to pay. A great alternative to Kennel and Catteries. Visit photo gallery

Dog Walking: We visit and walk your dog from home during the day. Good for busy people or elder/unwell people who are unable to walk their dog. Also great for dogs that get bored or anxious during the day and who suffer from separation anxiety. Walks can be one off or a regular booking. More about dog walking options | Visit photo gallery

Potty Breaks: We will visit your dog to let them out for a “wee” break. Essential for puppies or dogs that can’t hold on due to illness ie diabetes or being on medication that cause an increase in urination eg Prednisone.

Overnight Stay: We will sleep overnight at your house to help keep your pets routine as normal as if you were there. Some people are more concerned about their pets being alone and their houses unattended at night. A typical stay is 9 hours ie 9-6. Please book early as we can only stay at one house a night.

Pet Home Stay (where available): Your dog can stay in the home of one of our Pet Carers. They can have the choice of company of other dogs or being by themselves. You bring their bed, food, bowls and toys. Especially good for little dogs that are used to being with their owners, puppies and sensitive dogs needing extra TLC.

They are taken out for a daily walk. An additional option is to join our group dog walks at a local park or beach for a great excursion at a reduced rate. More about dog walking options | Visit photo gallery

Pet Taxi Service/ Vet Visits: We can pick up and deliver your pets to the Groomers, Veterinary Clinic or any other place they need to go. We can act as their guardian if you can’t get time off work to take them to the Vet. You can talk to the Vet on the phone while we give them the reassurance.

Pet flea control, deworming and nail clips: Find it hard to give worm tablets or deflea your pets? Due for a nail clip? Our Pet Sitters are able to do this in the comfort of your home.

Home Care Service: Whether you have pets or not, we can give your home a lived in and cared for look while you are away. Services include collecting mail, opening and closing curtain and blinds and turning lights on and off. Turning radio or televisions on and off, watering plants and gardens and putting rubbish bins out and bringing in.

As everyone’s pets are different, everyone’s pet’s needs are different. We prefer to come round and meet you and your pet for a free, no obligation consultation, to meet you both and discuss how we can help you.
