Enjoyed looking after Oakley on another equally sunny day a few weeks ago!
Hope everyone has had a lovely bank holiday weekend. I'm taking some time off to holiday in Dorset with my family.

It looks like Summer has finally arrived, so Jackson is here to remind you to keep your furry friends safe in the heat 🌞

It may be tempting to include your pooch in your trip to the beach or picnic in the park, but it's safer to leave them at home when temperatures soar.

Heat-related illnesses after exercise affects 10 times more dogs than those overheating in cars, so if in doubt, don't go out ❌

Pet Care Tip Thursdays- 🐾 Bee Stings🐾

🐝 Bee stings are common in cats and dogs. When a bee stings your pet, it often leaves the sting behind in the skin. Unlike bees, wasps don't leave their stingers and can sting multiple times.

⚠️ If your pet shows signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling around the sting area, contact your vet immediately.

🐾 Advantages Of Using a Pet Sitting Service 🐾

Leaving your pets behind when you travel can be stressful for both you and your furry friends. Here's why a pet sitting service is the best choice for their care and your peace of mind:

🌟 Personalized Attention: Unlike boarding facilities, a pet sitter provides one-on-one care tailored to your pet's specific needs and routine.

🏡 Comfort and Familiarity: Your pets stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells, reducing their stress and anxiety.

⏰ Routine Maintenance: Pet sitters maintain your pet’s regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring their routine is uninterrupted.

👩‍⚕️ Professional Expertise: Experienced pet sitters are trained to handle various pet behaviors and emergencies, giving your pets professional and knowledgeable care.

🔒 Home Security: A pet sitter also helps keep your home secure by collecting mail, watering plants, and providing an occupied appearance while you're away.

🟩 "What is Boarding?"🟩

Dog boarding is a service where pet owners leave their dogs at a boarding facility or kennel for an extended period. These facilities are equipped to handle multiple dogs, providing a secure and social environment with various amenities. During their stay, dogs receive regular feeding, exercise, and professional care, often with the opportunity to interact with other dogs. Boarders have to have a license from their local council and be fully insured.

🚫 Please Note: I do not offer dog boarding services.

Instead of boarding, I provide personalized in-home pet-sitting services in the owners home. This means your pets stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while I stay with them. This can reduce stress and anxiety for your pets and ensure they receive one-on-one attention and care tailored to their specific needs.
