Instead of take you dog to work day .... I needed to do the take the child to work lol. Safe to say he was smitten with the boys and they were very accommodating to his cuddles and kisses lol 😍

23/02/2024

Sometimes in this job we have a furbaby that is poorly or recovering but you can be reassured they will be well cared for by myself and look forward to their normal antics to be resumed 🥰

23/02/2024

Hope everyone managing to stay dry with all the rain and flooding that's about.
Thought I'd cheer people up with a few pics taken over the past few weeks 🥰🥰

It's taken a while to write this post as it still doesn't feel real and know that her owner was absolutely heart broken.
Sadly Bella went over rainbow Bridge at the grand age of 28 following a sudden illness. She was a legend of a horse who got me back into riding, threw me off to see if I could bounce, kept everyone in check and pulled the most amazing cow bag faces lol. All in all though she was a star of a horse who is sadly missed in the barn and the one you could put your trust in. Fly high big Bella with your forever love fudge, sooty the terrorist, Holly jasper, smokey and Billy. Never forgotten 💔🌈

05/10/2023

A still shot for this lovely boy

02/09/2023

First time out with this lovely boy. Fantastic recall and following commands. Credit to his owners for putting time into his training as this really shows when out. You're welcome to call on me anytime you need taking out ❤️

02/09/2023

A few more from recent regular bookings. The best job I could've hoped for. Endless amounts of love available from me and them 💕

02/09/2023

New happy customers who left this lovely bunch in my care whilst they went for a well earned rest. Very polite horses, one very loving pooch and a mass of happy chickens who loved nothing more than destroying my freshly mucked out stables and clean barn lol. All absolute treasures and the daily fresh eggs were an dded bonus ❤️

02/09/2023

My first house sit following my holiday and as ever joey has been a treat. I forgot how much energy this pup but his zest for life is infectious. From taking full advantage of ignoring his parents rule of not being allowed on the sofa whilst theyre away to nipping the backs of my heels for play time and attention there's never a dull moment. But the best cuddles at the end of the day are priceless. A gorgeous boy who I just adore ❤️❤️

Unfortunately since returning home I've received the sad news that harley has passed over rainbow Bridge to join his brother 💔💔 he was a very much loved member of his family and the waggy tails family who will really be missed.
Big hugs for his family at this sad time and fly high little bear xx

01/09/2023

Hello everyone. We are now back up and running ... quite literally.... After a lovely break away. We temporarily had a cat live with us whilst we were away which eased some of missing home emotions but nothing beats coming home to our own babies ❤️
It's been a busy but lovely first week back but been great to see all my babies again. I've had a lot of booking requests come through for over the next couple of months so availability is limited but please get in touch with any enquiries to see if I can help.

06/08/2023

A slightly delayed post due to life and its craziness taking over. But am officially saying we are now closed for business until the 24th August as we are off on our travels for 2 weeks. A very much deserved rest and family time.
I'll see you all soon. Love to all xx

I think by now most of you have met wilf and his natural affinity with animals. He just loves being around them and is a pleasure to take to work with me depending on what jobs I have. He's a fearless boy who just wants to get stuck in and has been great with our newest puppy customer who's mom has been expecting a baby. So it's fair to say that wilf has been the test baby for him to be walking along a pushchair, having little legs running round him, knowing not to jump up, walking nicely on the lead whilst a toddler wants to stop and look at everything and playing with toys together. I feel this little man should've been awarded a certificate as he is just awesome and think he'll be excited to meet his baby brother or sister. Roll on lots of adventures for Tommy and his family and with his biggest supporter wilf ❤️❤️

We also often have short holiday stays from one of our regulars who is a dream to look after and loves a good snuggle ❤️

Hi all. Hope everyone's enjoying the glorious weather we've been having. Unfortunately due to the epic timing of me having flu / tonsillitis I've been in hiding trying not to choke on the tonsils which have become golf balls 😪😪
However it's given me time to look back over some of the amazing pictures of your furbabies and made me smile.
I've been asked what happens on a house sit / day sit. Well we try and keep to what the normal routine is and go exploring. If the dogs are happy to have trips out off we go which will usually involve dragging the family along if the dog is happy with that.
Here's a couple of pictures from previous sits which included a welcomed lunch break by all ❤️❤️

12/06/2023

Morning all. Due to the high temperatures forecast for the week lunch time walks will be cancelled. I can either offer lunch time garden visits or morning walks. Can you let me know your preference please? Where the midday temperature cools walks will be back to normal. Many thanks x

This time of year is a welcome relief from winter for us horse owners but also brings other worries. With the weather being a mix of warmth and rain it brings new growth.

Unfortunately sycamore saplings are rife this year. These little growths can be fatal to horses and seems this year there's an abundance of them shooting through.
Please be aware of the risks to your equines and remove the saplings to prevent ingestion and risk deteriorating health.

To also add its the start of ragwort sprouting through so some will notice ragwort rosettes start to appear. This is the best time to start removing these before the plants / roots grow much taller and stronger to prevent ingestion.

Combine all these things with the risk of laminitis with the new spring growth us horse owners have nothing to worry about 🤣🤣

Let me know if anyone needs help with ragworting before the little blighters take over x

Atypical myopathy or “sycamore poisoning” can be fatal for horses so it is important that you know the symptoms and how to prevent it. Read our advice on sycamore poisoning

House sitting this little beauty. So far he's had to endure a mix of weather for his walks but took it all in his stride. Relaxation time this evening for the both of us after a busy day 😴😴

11/04/2023

Running the gauntlet with a barrow of wet poo is definitely a hard challenge to take on in the mud.... half a barrow at that lol. There was more following this 🙈 The sun was shining but the mud was a reminder of the week before. Definitely a good workout

11/04/2023

This little man has come on leaps and bounds. Off lead with his recall getting better and better. Such a happy soul who wants to be friends with everyone he meets ❤️❤️

11/04/2023

Happy belated easter to everyone. Hope everyone's had a great break and enjoyed the fantastic weather.
I've had a really busy Easter looking after all your fabulous babies and thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine with them compared to the rain today 🙈
Thought I'd cheer you all up with some sunny snaps ❤️

27/03/2023

I just wanted to inform you all of a few planned dates where I shall be taking some time off.
I will be unavailable ....
The 23rd april.
From the 1st May until the 8th May dates inclusive.
3rd - 4th June dates inclusive.
And the 5th August until the 23rd August dates inclusive.

I'll work out my end of year plans a bit closer to the time xx

27/03/2023

A very wet walk in the end. Started off with a nice bit of sun then the wind got up and the heavens opened. Safe to say we all had a lovely walk around the fields but came home looking like drowned rats. The added bonus was the beautiful double rainbow off in the distance ❤️🌈

My latest house sit. The beautiful greyhound jake. So chilled but don't let him fool you as when he has a mad case of the zoomies it's like having a kangaroo flying around the living room and you have to watch your shins lol. A real delight to look after. Part of jakes routine is going for a walk and to call in to his local for a swift drink and a bag of munchies. The last picture says it all 🤣🤣😴🤣😴
