🚨CHANGES TO BOOKED DOG WALKS FOR MONDAY 12th AUGUST 2024🚨

It is set to be a sweltering 30 degrees by lunchtime tomorrow 🥵🔥🌞🕶️

We will be doing an early walk for those dogs who are going to be at home all day and then let-outs in the afternoon.

Tom and I are contacting those affected this afternoon so we can adjust our day and visits accordingly.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Here are a few photos of your lovely animals from recent weeks. We’ve been so busy I haven’t had chance to upload anything.

I take photos of everything and everyone (animals mainly of course) so scroll on by if you get bored 😂

ADMIN UPDATE:

I have the afternoon “off” to catch up with text messages, emails, WhatsApp’s and Messenger messages re bookings and questions.

Everyone will have a reply by close of business today.

Apologies for the delay in replying, I’ve been playing catch-up since coming back from Spain 😂

NOTE: Photo just to remind myself how lovely the weather was in Spain with my gang 🥰

Looking like it's going to be a warm one tomorrow!

As normal, we'll be in touch with clients who's walks may be impacted by the heat.

Stay safe!

HAPPY WORLD SNAKE DAY!!!

Apologies to all that suffer with Ophidiophobia (the fear of snakes), but I can't help but share with you all, some of my amazing photos.

There are just under 4,000 different species of snake on the planet. Only 725 are venomous and only 250 of those are capable of killing a person with one bite, so they're not all bad 😂

Some of the photo's are taken from our honeymoon in Costa Rica in the Serpentario de Monteverde. The four snakes in those photo's have the potential to kill you in one bite!
The pics Em and I are in are from an incredible reptile experience at Snakes Alive in Southend on Sea which Em bought me for my birthday a few years ago.

Have a great week everyone!

Tom

We’re back!!!!! 🥳

We tried to bring some of the sunshine 🌞 back with us on the plane but failed I’m afraid.

We knew what awaited us at Gatwick when we flew through some incredible lightning displays over France ⛈️

It was a bit of a shock to the system after 33 degree heat for a week 🥶

All bills will be sent this afternoon, sorry for the delay; we ran out of time to do them before we left.

All messages are being replied to now.

Thank you everyone for letting us have a lovely week away with the boys. We missed all of your animals very much but especially missed our own little pup Jess 🐾

Well this has escalated quickly!

As always, we'll be tracking the weather closely and will be in touch if any of your walks are substituted for let-outs; due to excessive air and ground temperatures.

Have a great week!

Summer is here!!! The Solstice was yesterday. The longest day already when it feels like it’s only just starting to warm up 🙄

It’s been great as dog walkers so far this year as the temperatures have remained relatively low. There have been a few hot days and a few days where the air has been too hot for our brachycephalic dogs but on the whole it’s remained quite a steady Spring.

As/If the weather hots up please be assured Tom and I will adjust our walks to make sure your dogs are suitably cared for and exercised responsibly as always.

Good morning all!

We are currently taking bookings for holiday pet care for 2025 and 2026!! I can’t quite believe how popular we’ve become. Thank you all so much for your continued support.

Don’t worry…we still have availability for holiday pet care this Summer and over Christmas 2024.

Please feel free to get in touch if you’re going away and need a professional, insured and reliable care service for your cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and snakes etc.

We have a lot of experience with so many small animals, reptiles and birds you can go away on your holidays knowing your pets are in good hands.

Dearest Clients and friends,

Unfortunately, I’m still really quite unwell.

Lots of my usual illness stuff that’s gone a bit out of control and a few new bits due to medication changes and some unknowns.

To reassure you all, Tom has absolutely everything fully under control as always. He really is a superstar 🌟

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience with me over the last few weeks. Life has become rather tricky for me and I am back to being the glorified admin assistant again at the moment 😂

Getting out and about is proving quite hard and takes an awful lot of planning for me at the moment so if you see me out walking a dog or two with a big grin on my face it’s because I’m so happy to be doing what I love 🥰

I had a few tears on Tom’s shoulder this morning because sometimes I really do just think “why me?” And then I give my head a little wobble and remember how lucky I really am to be supported by wonderful family and friends.

Give Tom a supportive wave if you see him out and about. He’ll appreciate the acknowledgement I’m sure 🥰

Tom and I hope you all have a fantastic bank holiday weekend and for those of you off for half term after tomorrow; have some amazing family fun!!

I was asked to take a friend’s lovely doggy for a quick stroll last week. My friend was a bit busy having a baby at the time 🥰

Anyway, I left the house with the dog and ended up walking the cat as well. So cute that he wanted to be out with his sister from another mister 😂

Absolutely made my day! 😂

A lovely bit of sunshine last week 🥰

It’s just perfect when it’s not too hot but gorgeously sunny. We could all do with a bit of elusive Vitamin D at the moment ☀️

I’ve been hoarding animal photos again…soz (not soz!)

Just a reminder that Tom and I aren’t working this Friday. A whole day off together!! WOO HOO!!
