What could be better than knowing your beloved pet is being well looked after in the comfort of their own home whilst you are away.
By booking our drop in visits or pet sitting services, your pet will be cared for in their own home, meaning their regular feeding and exercise routines will not be disrupted. If you are away for an extended period, we are happy to water plants, take the rubbish bins out and of course keep the house clean and tidy from any ‘accidents’.
DROP IN VISITS
In some cases, a short visit or a couple of short visits will provide you with enough care to ensure your pet is happy and looked after whilst you are not there.
Cats and small caged pets such as rabbits and hamsters may just need someone to check on them once or twice a day. We will visit as requested to feed and water your pets, keep their bedding and equipment clean and give them some attention and exercise, if appropriate.
Drop-in visits for puppies and dogs would include lots of play and fuss, ensuring they are fed and watered, exercised out in the garden or taken for a short walk.
PET SITTING
If your pet needs more playful time and attention than the shorter drop-in visits, then make the most of our pet sitting service where we can spend multiple hours at your home keeping your pet safe, fed and loved. This may be multiple hours during the day or a stay overnight.
For overnight services, please note that dogs will need to be able to be left for a number of hours at a time, so that other dog walking commitments can be met. However we will always do our best to keep your dog's routine as unchanged as possible.
Long duration cat sitting will generally mean that we will be there in the morning and evening for feeding times and can spend more time in the house to suit the habits of the cat(s). However, your cats may be left during the day for longer periods than we would leave a dog. We would normally not stay in the house overnight, but this can be discussed.
If you need a service whereby your pet is not left alone at all, we can discuss this and advise of the extra costs involved. Drop in visits and pet sitting services are available in Wheathampstead, Harpenden, St Albans, Welwyn and surrounding areas..
SECURITY
We take security very seriously, therefore if you would like us to keep a house key, please be assured that it will always be safely stored and will never be identifiable with a name or address.
We will always come and meet you and your pet to discuss exactly what service will be best for you both.
We will walk through the necessary documentation together so that we have all the details we need to make sure we provide you with the best service.
Get in touch to arrange your free of charge meet and greet.
