Dog Sitting in our home
TENDER, LOVING CARE IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT - A PERFECT ALTERNATIVE TO KENNEL BOARDING!
We look after your dogs in our own homes. They will be given tender loving care, allowed free run of the house and be treated just as if they were a member of our own family - a real home from home and not a cage or kennel in sight! Regular outings during the day to the local woods together with lead walks in the evenings come as part of our standard dog sitting service package. Their stay with us will be fun, exciting and a great opportunity for them to socialise with new friends and have lots of fun while you are away.
You will need to provide enough food for the duration of your dog's stay and to provide favourite treats, chews, etc. We are also happy for you to send along anything you think may be helpful in making your dog's stay with us run as smoothly as possible.
Sorry – uncastrated dogs over the age of 9 months and bitches in season are not accepted into our homes.
Day Care for Dogs
If you are out at work or away for any reason during the day but returning home in the evening, your dog can come to us for an action-packed, fun day and be returned to you, relaxed, happy and contented.
Day Care is an alternative to our Dog Walking service, for dogs that are not good at being left alone for long periods of time. With a minimum of two, hour long visits to the local woods, together with plenty of attention and interaction with other dogs, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are having full, active days in your absence.
Sorry – uncastrated dogs over the age of 9 months and bitches in season are not accepted into Day Care.

Dog Walking
A MINIMUM OF ONE HOUR'S EXERCISE IN A LOCAL WOODED AREA. MORNING AND AFTERNOON PICK-UPS AVAILABLE – OPERATING 7 DAYS A WEEK!
Dogs require physical and mental stimulation and many behaviour problems such as barking, chewing, digging, etc, are the result of isolation, boredom and insufficient exercise. It is proven that exercise and the mental stimulation that comes with it could be the cure for some of these problems.
Our Dog Walking service is designed for those owners who may be out at work all day, are unexpectedly called away from home, are elderly, hospitalised or have other commitments. Dogs will receive a minimum of one hour's exercise (excluding travelling time) at a nearby wooded area. After having a full hour of play, fun and interaction with other dogs, your dog will be delivered back home, tired, content and happy.
We walk mainly in groups and it is therefore imperative that your dog does not show any sign of dog-to-dog aggression and be friendly towards humans. We can in some cases also offer an early morning and late evening walk.
Sorry – uncastrated dogs over the age of 9 months and bitches in season are not accepted on group walks.

Cat Sitting & Feeding
DAILY VISITS TO YOUR HOME. ALLOW YOUR CAT TO STAY AT HOME AND ENJOY THE COMFORT OF FAMILIAR SIGHTS SOUNDS AND SMELLS.
Our Cat Sitting and Feeding service is a perfect alternative to cattery boarding, or imposing upon friends and neighbours. Cats in particular are known to be least stressed in their own surroundings and do much better by staying in the place they know best. Our personalised service allows your cat to remain in the security and comfort of their own home.
A standard visit lasts up to 20 minutes, working to your instructions, we will feed and fuss them, clean litter trays and bowls, etc.
In addition, we can also bring in your mail and newspapers, take out the rubbish, open and close curtains, water plants and turn lights on and off. Your home will generally have that "lived-in" look during your absence, which provides the bonus of heightened security and protection for your premises while you are away.
We recommend a minimum of one or two visits per day.
Please note that we will not undertake any assignments where we will not be visiting at least once during any 24-hour period.

Puppy Care
The early months of a puppy's life are the most important and ideally the puppy should be exposed to a broad range of experiences, noises, animals and people as soon as possible. Young dogs can recover from frightening situations very quickly, but it can take longer as the puppy grows to maturity. Ultimately, a well-socialised puppy is more likely to result in a confident, sociable, well-adjusted adult dog. Daily visits can also help with housebreaking, as proper toilet training requires a constant routine of breaks for your puppy.
We can visit your puppy for feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and early socialisation. When your puppy has had its full vaccinations, making use of our Home Boarding, Day Care (Dog Crèche) or Dog Walking services are all perfect ways in which to socialise and house-break your puppy and get it used the big wide world.
