It's always lovely when you get positive feedback like these. It makes the hard work all worth while. THANK YOU!

Blue shading is to make them anonymous.

Lots and lots of Thank Yous!

However a massive thank you from us to you for all your support and custom this summer! It's been a busy one to say the least so thank you for helping us grow!

Now I'm off for a nap 😴 😆

As part of our equestrian packages we got to spend time with this gorgeous pair ( and their cat and chicken friends)

Grooming
Poo picking
Feeding
Water changes
General tidy up and field check.

All in idyllic surroundings. They had lots of fun following us around and attempting to knock the barrow over, which one little fellow succeeded in more than once and of course lots of fuss and attention for them both. It was great to arrive each day and be greeted by them running over to us, eager for their food and neck scratches.

Get ready for more photos, this is just a small snippet of our summer holidays. More to follow.

Our hearts are full! ❤️

Don't forget you can support us by liking, commenting or sharing our posts. Leaving a review or letting us have any feedback. It all helps our little family business grow and allows us to continue to do what we love.

John loves numbers, so he sent me this...

"Since the start of the holidays we've done 1289 visits that's approximately 38,670 minutes of pet visits ( not including dog walks)."

WOW that's a lot of pet cuddles and snuggles!

As pet cuddles reduce stress we must be the most serene people right now 😆
We're feeling very lucky to be trusted with so many pets. ❤️

What a lovely summer. We hope you've all enjoyed your holidays as much as we have enjoyed looking after your pets.

Nichola, John and Erin xx

Absolutely bowled over with all the love and support from everyone. Thank you all for the quite frankly amazing thanks, wonderful feedback and extremely thoughtful gifts and cards!

Happy international dog day! And a bank holiday! It doesn't get any better really does it.

Calling all local pet sitters/ dog walkers.

I've been approached by a few awesome pet sitters for advice over the last few months which is fantastic. We're always happy to share experience and likewise love to have the support from others too. So it got me thinking of having a meet up with other like minded pet sitters/ dog walkers. It can get a bit lonely working on your own and sometimes it's nice just to have a listening ear from someone who knows the job you do. We're always committed to improving our services and I know there's a lot of other pet sitters who are too. So if any other pet sitters would be up for a kind of network meeting but very relaxed. Drop us a message and we'll get it arranged.

Please feel free to share.

Support each other and build each other up.

Erin is back from her holidays next week ( thank goodness 😆) so will be having her official induction onto the pet visits side of the business with us. Shes already taken on roles for horse care and dog walking with us and after her well earned rest she's raring to go and learn what we do on our visits.

She's also been working on a new logo for us, which is exciting!

We're so busy at the moment we're looking forward to welcoming her back. 😊

14/08/2024

Thank you!!!! Once this crazy busy time is over we'll be having a feast with all these treats. Thank you also for all the lovely messages we've been receiving 😊 you're all the best!

12/08/2024

Thank you so so much. We've also had some wonderful thank you texts too. Thank you!

12/08/2024

It's that time of year when it's crazy busy with 12-14 hour days. We love it but it does mean our replies to messages may take longer as our priority is the animal care. Please bare with us well respond ASAP.

Photo of a pure, heart of gold, cat just look at those lips! ❤️

10/08/2024

Busiest day to date and just when you're flagging you walk into these. Thank you!!!

International cat day nearly passed me by today its been so busy!

So here's our very own cats.

Cookie the ginger boy whose nearly 17 years young and Pippa the feisty tuxedo whose 11. Both rescue cats and both big personalities.

We love them lots and all their little quirks ❤️

05/08/2024

Morning. I've had a few clients contact me worried it was their cat that bit me. Please don't worry I've let the cats owner know already.

However thank you all for checking! And if anyone was worried you can rest easy now 😆 xx

And massive thank you to all of you asking if I'm okay etc. Xx

Poor boy found with a bag round his neck In the middle of a busy road in daylight. John Swiftly removed the bag and moved to safety to monitor. As he was also out in the day he's now at charlies place for tests. Hopefully to be released soon. If you live on furniss avenue s17 ( top end preferable) and could release in your garden please let us know as this is the area he was found.

Also pick up any litter these little hogs need all the help they can get.

02/08/2024

Thank you very much everyone. I really appreciate all your kind comments, messages and offers for help and visits to me ❤️ you're all so kind. We really do have the best clients. We appreciate you all. Thank you!!

Doctors have just done their rounds and I'm so relieved to say ill be out this afternoon. As lovely as the staff are 2 nights In hospital is more than enough. Especially with the dodgy tv 😆 I'll be back to visits so normal service will resume. Thank you to john too for literally running everything while I've been out of action. Thank you again to all of you too. Can't wait to get back to all the pets xx

01/08/2024

Just to let you all know all dog walks for the rest of this week will not be able to go ahead. I think I've contacted everyone I need to to make arrangements. Pet visits are still going ahead but may be slightly shorter for a few days while john holds the fort. Unfortunately I'm out of action for a few days in hospital ( unplanned) any problems/questions please get in touch.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Nichola and John xx

Just some of the fabulous pets we got to hang out with in July 😃

31/07/2024

Just wanted to say thank you so very much for those who've took the time to write your reviews again! And those who've written a new review! It really does mean a lot to us as reviews do help us grow. We really take pride in the fact we had 63 5 star reviews.
Not sure why Facebook deletes them but seems we're not the only page it's happened to.

Thank you! 😊

29/07/2024

It's summer holidays which means we will be extremely busy looking after your wonderful pets. It may take slightly longer to respond to messages but rest assured we'll get back to you ASAP.

Thank you for your patience.

Reviews

Weirdly we've had 19 reviews just disappear from the page within a minute. No explanation from Facebook and no pattern to it either. So I'm really confused but also disappointed.

If you've left a review in the past and notice its gone could we ask a huge favour. For anyone who wouldn't mind re adding your reviews we'd really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

And if anyone knows how to stop this happening again please let us know. The same thing happened a few years ago too.

28/07/2024

This is what our breaks look like....Getting the fusses in while he can
It must be tough sharing us with so many other animal friends 😆 don't worry Cookie ( nearly 17 years old!) we have lots of fusses and cuddles to give.

28/07/2024

What a lovely way to spend 24 hours with this beautiful boy. While his humans enjoyed a family wedding we had lots of fusses, walks and snoozes ( him not me). Staying in his own home he was stress free and stuck to his usual routine.

Had a lovely few days looking after this lovely boy recently,
All part of the service, he enjoyed a daily groom.
Daily check over to ensure he was in tip top condition.
Feet picked out.
Feeding.
Fly spray topped up and suncream on.
And plenty of attention and fusses!
He was a real pleasure to look after ❤️
