The very cuddly Billy and I had a lovely time together yesterday!

It's quiet now Frankie's gone home. I keep whistling to remind myself of him

Loving the Summer holidays!

A couple of new friends! (And a couple of old ones).

Gorgeous Leo is wary of humans other than his owner but I like a challenge and he was positively flirtatious by the end!

29/05/2024

I love the variety of my customers!

Many places do require flea and worming treatments. Sad to see the impact of prophylactic treatment

Pet owners risk contaminating their hands with neurotoxins for at least 28 days after application, scientists find

Loved getting to know Lola - especially with her cute moustache! Wonderful to play with Billy on the frosty days!

Half term snuggles!

Gorgeous duo has been taking up most of my time recently. With the odd little helper!

These lovelies had a famous visitor - Lily from Peter Rabbit

Such a good time looking after these pets and plants 🪴.

23/08/2023

I don't think Kitten was too convinced by me at first. Thankfully Edith didn't mind being groomed by a new friend!

Also don't forget your plants! I'm happy to mist, use rainwater and feed as needed.

Had lots of lovely walks with Bella and Bonnie with our first trial of home boarding.

01/08/2023

Often a lot more economical and straightforward to have a pop-in from £7.50 than finding multiple boarding places.

31/07/2023

First walk with a client is often a very slow one while we communicate about not pulling on the lead 🐌

Holiday fun looking after these very friendly cats, fish and gecko.

Now these are not my usual reptiles...
Great effort by Dronfield Baptist Church for the kids last week!

Welcome!
FAQs:
1. Can you look after my pet cat/dog/chicken/gecko/stick insect etc?

Each animal is unique and I'm happy to customise my service to your animal's needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals and am happy to provide care to unusual or exotic animals as well with appropriate guidance. I'm currently working on my Level 3 Small Animal Care and Welfare qualification which includes small animal first aid.

I am used to handling and administering medication and am happy to do this and some basic grooming for your animal.

I include a free meet and greet so you can meet me and we can go through the exact needs of your pet.

2. How many visits?

I don't have a minimum or maximum of visits, happy to provide multiple a day or one off visits (useful if you have an appointment or are away for a day). Happy to discuss more tailored packages.

3. How much?

I start at £7.50 a visit (rather than per animal) which would average 15-30mins. This can also include a home security check, moving post and watering plants.

For larger bookings, I may ask for a 10% deposit after the meet and greet.

4. Can I trust you?

I understand it's nerve wracking leaving someone else with access to part of your home. I am happy to provide DBS and insurance certificates and evidence of my studies. References available on request.

I will always ask permission to keep and use your details and pictures. As you may notice, I do not post photos with identifiable data, I also have a policy of not posting photos at the time of looking after your pets and home for your security should an animal be recognised.

I do my best to follow all local and governmental (HMRC, DEFRA and APHA) rules. Please get in touch if something concerns you and I will look straight into it.

5. What if my pet gets unwell?

If in doubt about an animal's health, I will try to contact you first. If I am unable to contact you and I believe it is urgent I will take the animal to the vet your pet usually uses.

If I am concerned about extreme weather conditions or an animal I may arrange an extra wellbeing visit alongside scheduled visits.

I have business insurance on my vehicle and a dog guard, dog stairs (great for arthritic dogs to get into the car although takes some training) and access to a variety of animal carriers.

6. Do you home board or stay at my house overnight?

Being a mum & carer, I cannot stay in your home overnight.

I am able to home board smaller animals with their own hutches/cages and will provide room to exercise. We are also looking at trialling a boutique home boarding for dogs, with a view to get a licence later this year.

Post rescue!

Soo excited that there's a hedgehog in our garden! That "wildlife" area is totally justified, not just weeds I've not got round to. Also a good lesson to beware of football nets in gardens!

14/07/2023

Look at those eyes! She's all ready for her swim.

14/07/2023

Apologies for the pouting human. I was clearly trying to match Mavis' sassy level.

07/07/2023

Absolutely loved my first visit to Aquavets to see a hydrotherapy session with the lovely Layla. Also glad the new car stairs were a success for her!

They soon learn Steph=food!

(Yes I'm happy giving live food to reptiles like this super lovely leopard gecko - Diego)
