Coggeshall Pet Sitting Services

Coggeshall Pet Sitting Services Coggeshall Pet Sitting Service with over 25 years professional experience. Pet care I believe, is a vocation.

I have been incredibly blessed to have been a professional pet sitter for over twenty years, I am deeply committed to providing the most caring, reliable and dedicated service available. I absolutely love what I do and I really think it shows in the service I provide to my clients, who I class as my extended family. I provide reliable, loving and flexible pet sitting services, I have had many diff

erent pets throughout my life including cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, fish, rabbits, chipmunks and more and am committed to making sure you feel completely happy knowing that I am taking the very best care of your little ones. When you contact me I will arrange to come along and visit you to discuss what you need, meet your pet and give you the opportunity to get to know me. You will see I am an extremely caring, friendly, helpful, dedicated and reliable person. I never ever underestimate how difficult it is to put your trust in someone to care for your precious pet as well as your home. I am extremely security conscious, I do not have a branded vehicle because I personally think it advertises someone is not at home which potentially could put your home and your pet at risk. While looking after your pet I always take photos which I send to you each day so you can see for yourself how your little one is doing and the adventures they are having. I do not charge for meet and greet appointments, key collection or return and have a fixed charge of £10 per walk (up to an hour) or per visit. My pet sitting services covers up to one hour visit and can include as many pets as you have providing it takes up to an hour to care for them, any longer than that will be charged at £5 per half hour. I am fully insured and can offer you references from current and past clients on request. Thank you so much for your interest in my services, if you have any questions or would like an appointment for me to visit you for a chat please message me on 07973445099 giving me as much details on the care you are looking for and I will call you for an initial chat. Please take a moment to have a look at my page and all the pets I have cared for over the years, you will soon see for yourself how much I love and care for the little ones I look after.

As we get ready to welcome the new season, we also welcome some autumnal hazards for our furry friends. But, could you spot a poisonous plant before them? 👀

During this time, when the summer blooms turn to autumn leaves, many plants and trees start to produce berries and nuts, which can be both tempting and toxic for pets.

It’s important to be able to recognise those hidden toxic plants so you and your pet can keep away from them ⚠️

Here’s a handy list from our vets, to help you spot some of the most common ones to look out for!

Yesterday, I received the following email from a researcher for the TV programme *Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly*:

"𝑀𝑦 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑠 (redacted) 𝐼 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑉 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤 ‘𝐷𝑜𝑔𝑠 𝐵𝑒ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 (𝑉𝑒𝑟𝑦) 𝐵𝑎𝑑𝑙𝑦’.

My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the “cravat” unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody – why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help – all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF 😳😳😳

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Country’s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. He’s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges £875 per session 🤔😧

Now I’m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if I’m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldn’t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques he’ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training you’ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

My Story

I have always loved looking after animals since I was a little girl, I always seemed to , when I had my youngest son I decided that I wanted to follow my dreams and work with animals. I did consider trying to get a job at London Zoo but I wanted something that would work around looking after my children. I had already been looking after my friends and relatives pets for years but thought that it would be amazing if I could look after other people’s too.

I began in 2000 and haven’t looked back, I am truly blessed and never take for granted how much trust and responsibility is placed on me looking after my clients homes and their precious pets.

I know how hard it is finding someone reliable to take care of your little ones while you are away, with so many dog walkers and pet sitters out there, how do you choose?

I can only tell you about what I offer and then you can decide for yourself whether you think I am what you are looking for.
