Good evening all ☺️
I do apologise once again for the huge gap in posts and updates! 😅
I have been exceptionally busy travelling around the country, looking after various pets and meeting some very interesting new clients 😊
From the 26th to the 29th of September, I completed a pet sit in Letchworth Garden City, where I cared for three dogs; two cockatoos and one cavachon. That was very fun 🤩
And on the 7th of October, I travelled to Hertfordshire for a very esteemed client, to help her with a very complex canine rehabilitation project, caring for her large breed dog after he had hip replacement surgery.
This was a 22 day commitment where I lived with the client and her family, starting my day at 5:00 and finishing at 9:30 pm. My duties included taking him outside to relieve himself, feeding him, spending the day in his quarantine room to provide company, giving him his medication at scheduled times and putting him to sleep at night. This was a very fun And interesting pet sit/project. I got two Stay at a beautiful farmhouse in the Hertfordshire countryside, surrounded by cows, sheep, horses and pheasants. I took my client’s other dog on multiple scenic walks where I got to enjoy all of the stunning scenery in the area, and on my first day I got to explore Cambridge, which was fascinating and so gorgeous 😍
(My timeline photos for this sit will be posted presently 😊)
From the 1st of November to the 4th I was in Melton Mowbray with my boys Dennis and Gnasher. Adorable and clumsy as always, with their weak bladders leaving p*e puddles all over the house and sleeping under the covers, in between my legs every night. Dennis needed help up the stairs at night and down the stairs in the morning – growling at being touched as per usual 😅
One of my degu friends had passed away since the last time I was there but the client reassured me that they were in pain and so were in a better place. His sibling was very happy to have me as company instead. And the fish were adorable and very hungry as always 🤗
On the 5th of November I boarded a Jet-2 plane for the second time this year, to go to Scotland- landing in Glasgow to board a coach, to spend five hours travelling to Lochgilphead, where my newest clients were waiting to show me their amazing farm, complete with two huge dogs, two huge cats, a brace of Peking ducks, 6 laying hens and 11 silkie chickens
😱💕 - the cutest little creatures I have ever seen.
My time in Lochgilphead was probably one of the best experiences of this year, for my business. I got to see two of Scotland’s lochs, meet a new dog breed I have never heard of or seen before 😱🤩 and I got a little taste of what farm life would be like if I lived in the Scottish Highlands. I met an amazing and friendly family who I am proud to call friends- I will be reunited with them for all scheduled long set in the New Year, whilst they are away in China for Chinese New Year.
And finally, on the 22nd of November to the 29th, I returned to Chesterfield, to my little friend Pippa, to care for her and her sister Sam whilst their dad was on holiday in Benidorm with his friends for a friend’s birthday 😊 it was very fun and we shared a lot of treats, including a mince pie before Christmas 🤣 My favourite part of the whole sit was travelling through the night on the 21st to catch a very early train that got me to my clients house at 2 am on the 22nd, when he was due to fly – at Chesterfield train station it was snowing outside It was so pretty 😍❄️
Next, and the last pet sit of 2024 is an emergency sit for a lovely gentleman in Devon, who needed a sitter for this Monday to care for his lovely, handsome big boy with “dribbley jowls) Caesar 😊 I come back home on Wednesday, have Thursday off and then And back with him on the 13th of December until the 23rd of December. It is going to be a wonderful Christmas time 😍 🎄 🐕
On the 23rd of December my client has very kindly offered to drive me to Guildford station where I will then go home to my family for Christmas. I will be going to Winterland at Bluewater with my husband-to-be and then we will put together the families food hamper ready for Christmas Eve 💕
There. Now we are all caught up and you know what I have been doing for these months I have been quiet 😅
I have had a fantastic time at work, as usual, with the best job in the world and the best clients, with paws 🐾
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all a very Happy New Year. In January, I will update everyoJess’ Bespoke Petcareures as they unfold 😊👍🏻
