Our Story
Welcome to While You’re Away Your Pets will Play! Whether it's a walk or a long board our aim is the same- to make your pet feel at comfortable (and have fun & cuddles- if they are those sort of pets). My name is Kit and I run While You’re Away Your Pets will Play with my partner. The company has been running since 2013, though only recently have I managed to get my head around keeping up to date with a social media page. We are fully insured for Dog Walking, Pet Home Boarding, Pet Sitting, Pet Taxi as well as Cat/Dog Groomer, Dog Hydrotherapist/Trainer, Mobile Cat/Dog Groomer, Pet Behaviourist, Microchipper, Minder (though we do not actually do these additional services). We have Public Liability Insurance of £1,000,000 and Professional Indemnity cover of £1,000,000. I also have a clear Basic Disclosure (CRB Checked). I successfully completed a Professional Dog Training Course and finished with a Distinction. So a little about me: I have had an extended family of non-humans my whole life: from fish, stick insects and mice to dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and even a pony for a little while (my mum confiscated it off some boys carrying it through where we lived, she said they could have it back once they found a home for it, three months later… they came back). It appears the love of animals runs in our family. I grew up moving around a lot. As a child, one of my memories is moving house (and country) with a bucket of fish between my feet and trying to keep still so the fish were disturbed as little as possible. I have seemed to carry that theme with me and have brought it to While You’re Away Your Pets will Play. We tailor each and every walk/adventure/stay to your pets needs. So whether it’s a chihuahua who needs 7 walks and must eat food with someone in the same room, a dear old lab who likes nothing more than chilling in his comfy bed getting brushed or a pair of rabbits that need visiting twice a day to have a good run about the garden, this is what they will get. This is what I love! Each walk/stay/visit is exciting and I enjoy seeing your pets comfortable and happy. There were two main reasons why I started While You’re Away Your Pets will Play. The first and main one was because I had such trouble finding someone who would board Legs when she was younger. There seemed to be such discrimination towards her and her breeding. It hurt my heart that they said they provided a service yet only wanted to look after easy small dogs regardless of her training or without meeting her. At While You’re Away Your Pets will Play all creatures great and small will be welcomed and loved. Over the years we've regularly had animals of all shapes and sizes come and stay. We've changed address a few times. London being London, rents increase & areas change, nevertheless the love and fun in our home never changes. And that’s my second reason- I just love animals! A little about us: Our resident explorers include our beautiful Legs (a 6.5year, neutered female, mastiff x staff), Naughty Nia (our ferret), our daughter (an animal mad toddler) and my partner & I. Languages spoken in household English, Spanish & Catalan. Which is especially handy when looking after animals who’s mummy and daddy have trained them in said languages. Our days are spent playing, walking, exploring, cuddling and brushing. Near by, on our routes are many parks: Clapham Common, Battersea Park, York Gardens, Spencer Park, Wandsworth Common, Garratt Park & Wimbledon Common. We also like to venture a little further some days (like weekends) to Crystal Palace, Hampstead Heath, Beddington Park and even further to Brighton and Margate beaches. I'm used to introduction/interaction training and we are confident and happy to board pets that require medication or special diet. Depending on the pets we have boarding with us, it's max adventure time or it's indoor play & cuddle days. Weather doesn't stop us! That's what's showers and towels are for. :) If you have any questions or would like to have a Meet & Greet to check whether While You're Away is the best company for your pet feel free to get in touch. I'm available daily, evenings and weekends. No query too strange or silly.
