Lisa's Helping Hands

25/09/2023

Hi everyone 😊

Unfortunately I have taken the decision to close my business and therefore won't be doing anymore dog sitting etc.

As I'm sure you can imagine, it hasn't been an easy decision to make 😏

I am working more hours at the Dr's Surgery (4 full days) and running the Community Hub every Wednesday.
So with that reason alone, I feel it would be unfair for me to be dog sitting when I'm working so much of the time.

I also need to prioritise my family whilst also trying to find some time for me in there too 😆

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, booked with me and recommended me.

I am so grateful to you all and I've loved every second of it 🥰💜

Hope this doesn't offend 🤭

My hoodie I've had for a year now.... very relevant for the majority of my job's 😁💜

I am currently having a holiday myself - 2 weeks in the sunshine 😎

I will still reply to any messages/enquiries that come through but maybe not calls.

So if you do want to get in touch, please message rather than call and I'll get back to you when I can - whilst waiting for my next cocktail to arrive 😋🤭

Have had the best week with this beautiful girl, her brother🐈 and feathery sisters 🐔
And the best news is, we still have another week together 🥰

I still have some availability left for rest of this year... But I'm thrilled to say next year (summer) is already getting booked up - thank you so much!!

As always, please get in touch if you have any questions or need any help with anything 💜

Evie is thrilled and so proud to announce that her amazing Mum has conquered Mount Kilimanjaro 🥳

We (Evie and I) were so happy when we received the news last night 😁

But we also knew that she would smash it, unless it was something out of her control 💪

It's not too late to sponsor/support Jo..
All money raised is going to a wonderful charity 😊

I have the absolute pleasure of looking after this beautiful girl Evie again 😍
However we are both really missing her brother Herman, who sadly passed over the rainbow bridge 🌈💔

Evie's Mum is a very special lady who is currently flying across the world to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for a very special charity!

Jo has fully funded the trip herself and has of course put in so many hours of blood, sweat and tears training for such an adventure.

We're routing for you Jo and we know you're going to smash Mt Kili 💪

Love and hugs from me and your girl Evie 💜

If you would like to support Jo, please check out the link below to have a read about her story and the wonderful charity she is raising money for and of course donate if you can 🙏

Hi everyone 👋

I have been getting lots of enquiries over the past couple of weeks about bookings for the remainder of August.
Unfortunately I have been unable to help as I'm already fully booked.

If you know the dates you are looking at needing help, I'd advise getting in touch as soon as possible, as particularly during the summer months I soon get booked up and rarely have the availability for last minute bookings.

As much as I'm thrilled to be fully booked 😁 I also hate having to say no to people who are enquiring 😏

I am already getting several bookings coming in for next year too which is incredible - thank you so much for the ongoing support 💜

😂😂😂 My kind of party.. Or should I say pawty 😁

It's not just your furry friends I can look after for you.. I can also take care of your feathery friends too 😁
How beautiful are these girls 😍💜

Hi everyone 👋

I'm about to start a busy 5 weeks of back to back pet/house sitting and I cannot wait 😁

I have already been getting enquiries and bookings for next year which is amazing - thank you 💜

Unfortunately, as of next year my prices will be increasing slightly and I will be taking a small deposit to secure new bookings. If you have any questions, please get in touch 😊

I've been overwhelmed and grateful with how well this year has gone and how much support I have received from you all - thank you so much 🥰

09/07/2022

I thought I'd share a few of the wonderful reviews I have received 🥰
This is just a small selection and I'm always overwhelmed when I receive such lovely messages from such wonderful people 😊
Doing what I do, never feels like work..
It's honestly a joy 😊 and I'm very lucky so many of you trust me enough and also recommend me to others - thank you so much 💜

This made me laugh - and how true it is too!!

I feel really honoured and grateful that so many people trust me to look after their furry family 🥰💜

13/06/2022

As much as I love what I do - getting to spend my days with lots of amazing animals - particularly dogs 🥰

It's also hard at times, when I get the sad news that a dog I've looked after has passed away 🙁
I can't help but get attached to and love every animal I spend time with and look after.

I'm sending lots of love and hugs to those wonderful owners who have recently lost furry members of their family.

Gone but never forgotten 💜

The lovely little Luna has been staying with us whilst her family are on a cruise 🤩
She seems to be really happy with my boys Billy and Bruce 🥰

They have made her welcome and been enjoying her company so much, they even took her to their favourite place Burt's Haven - Freedom Field Wrangle

She's been a delightful house guest 😁 she has made herself right at home and has been given us all lots of snuggles and kisses 🤗

I'm sure we're all going to miss her when she goes home again 🥰💜

So grateful for everyone who has booked with me in the past or have bookings coming up.

It really means a lot to know people trust me, are re-booking with me and recommending me to others - thank you 🙏

I love every job I do... But I am absolutely thrilled that the pet sitting side of things has taken off as well as they have.
Getting to spend my days with various animals make Lisa very happy 😊

I have a busy few months ahead but I do still have some availability, so please get in touch if you need any help 😊

01/06/2022

This is definitely me 🙋‍♀️
Of course I do like the odd human too 😉😁

Since Thursday I've been spending my time with these gorgeous doggos 😍
Aren't they just pawfect?
Looking at these smiles, they don't seem to mind me either 😉😂
Thanks for making me so welcome, for all the kisses, snuggles and fun 😁

I still have a little bit of availability left for the next few months..
Please get in touch 😊💜
