Now these 2 are adorable 😍
Merlin the black boy has ALOT of confidence and was quite happy roaming around and keeping us company (even the littley). Rolling around on his back and teasing us for fuss
Poppy on the other hand is much more reserved. I'm quite sure if I didn't have my son with me, we would have had a fabulous time and bonded pretty quick but she was out of reach as soon as we walked in the door

Lovely Lily
Lily is a confident mog and enjoys the head scratches but also another cat that isn't too bothered by my sons company. Brownie points for all the cats that welcome us with open paws 😍😍
Several times, she would run in through the front door when I arrived and wait for the fuss.
I'm super happy to have Lily booked back in the diary later in the year 😍🥰

Good morning humans
Tilly here, to inform you of a new law that has come into place for all us Purrfect puss.
As from today, every cat has to be microchipped by law, wether you are an indoor cat like me or an outdoor cat. Exemptions applying to feral cats and health risks, signed off by a vet.
Pawlease, help me protect and keep all of my fellow felines safe. If a cat is found to not have a microchip, you can face upto £500 fine.
Use the link below for more inpawmation

I have several spaces become available within my morning group walks (max 3 dogs per walk) between 9am - 11am every day
If you have a child and dog friendly pooch that would like to join the pet pawfection gang, drop me a message to discuss

The most precious boy 🥰
I haven't recently started caring for Chips and how lucky I am indeed. Chips is the most placid pupper I know who just loves to have cuddles. Chips is an older boy so he's quite happy to do his business and head straight back to bed for the unlimited attention
How striking is he in these photos 😍 not looking a day over 5 🥰
🐶Chips🐶
I dont know how I get so lucky with cats. I very rarely look after fearful or reactive cats now a days
These bootiful puss cats gave me lots of fuss last week. Fluff (tabby) gave me short of a panic attack too when she wasn't home for a couple of days, only to learn that she's a little houdini and can break out of a locked cat flap 🫣
Smudge (b&w) is less savvy but he is still completely loving. Both run down the stairs and wait by the door when they heard me coming and neither of them were in a hurry to eat when I put the food down for them 🥰

I shared my bank holiday with these 2 cuties this weekend.
I had met them twice previous to my stay with them and Lollie (black & white), swooped away scared each time but to my surprise she was the most beautifully loving girl whilst I cared for them. My word does she malt though, I looked Lollie by the end of each visit 🤣
Tilly is also a super loving puss. She would greet me on the stairs every single visit and we could sit for hours if she had her way. Tilly is an amputee with only 3 legs so extra special girl 😍 She's also mastered how not to set the litter robot off so despite the litter tray being automatic when they p**p, she made sure I was still getting stuck in with the dirty work and having to clear it manually 🤔

Hey beautiful babies
Bella (grey) is a little nervous of strangers and was told its likely I won't get near her. However, I did and lots. She in fact let me fuss her quite a bit and it only took her 2 visits to let me too.
Worf her brother is much more confident, so we had plenty of cuddles. He's always much more food driven so I think this is why because after he was fed, he'd dissappear for a self groom 😆
🐈⬛Bella🐈⬛
🐈Worf🐈
These 2 newbies are adorable.
They are also absolutely amazing with my son. Which is rare for cats. Both rubbing themselves around his legs and following him around the house 😍🥰
They are each super affectionate and confident.
Nelly (white), even rolled onto her back and let me give her a really long tummy tickle 🥰
🐈Nelly🐈
🐈⬛Ted🐈⬛
Welcoming Dawny
Dawny is an older lady but absolutely loves to chase about and run through puddles. She's also a little in love with treats, parking her bum as we walk until she gets a treat 😆
She's a lady well set into her routine and even runs straight into the kitchen when we return home for her post walk treat too 🤣
This photo was taken immediately after crashing through puddles 🤭

One of our fellow dog walkers, Jennie at Completely Canine is also a firefighter for bicester station.
She is reaching out for raffle prizes for their open day on May 6th. If I have any lovely followers who have anything to donate, please let me know and I will gratefully pass these on to Jen.
Alternatively, just head down on May 6th and show your support 🥰

Darcey has adopted a little sister 🤩
Welcoming Oti (Tabby) 🐈
I've actually cared for Oti from as little as a week old. Oti is one of Willows litter, that I posted about last year of a bunch of 6 kittens. Super tiny and hadn't even opened their eyes. Now look at her. She is her mummas twin. An absolute double of her in every way.
Darcey stayed out the way this time, I even thought she was missing toward the end of my stay as I hadn't seen her for 3 days. Just turns out, she's a night owl and was out exploring each time I arrived

Newbie doody 😍
The most well mannered and placid poo cross I've ever met. Let's be honest, anything with poo or doo in their breed are live wires but not Ted.
Ted is quite happy sniffing and moving at snail pace whilst he catches all the good smells on his way, with the odd zoomies thrown in.
I am so pleased to welcome this ball of gorgeous to my Mondays 😍
🐶Ted🐶
It has been a busy month of newbies so starting us off are these 2 beautiful boys
Taiko the black and white is a typical fuss until you feed me then he'll dissappear out of reach.
Tora is a bit of a greedy bum so will hang about that little bit longer to see if he can bag himself some treats. He's also known to break in to his treats if they aren't out of reach.
True to his word, I arrived one evening to find he had helped himself to 5 packets of cat food by knocking the box off the shelf 🙈 I was elated, not to find any cat sick after that little act 🙄

I have been visiting a client on the same road as my favourite boy this week.
Tonight, he was sat under his owners car after I left my other clients house so i obviously had to go and say hello.
This boy melts me, I could literally steal him and he would be happy to oblige 🤣🥰

It's our 9th Birthday today 😍
I dont know where the time has gone
Pet Pawfection was established in 2015 whilst I lived in South Oxford and merely began as pet sitting only.
Fast forward to October 2017 and we relocated to Bicester. Now being Pet Pawfections most successful period and adding dog walking to the name.
We are so grateful for all clients old, existing and future for allowing my love of animals to blossom 🌸
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US 🎂🥳
What a blimming beautiful day 😍
The first time (probably the last 🤣) that I've not wore a coat and sat in the garden for a pup visit
What a difference a little bit of warm sun can do for the soul after such horrendous wet weather. Here's keeping fingers and toes crossed that the warmth is here to stay, just atleast to dry up the swamp fields 🤞🏼

It's been a super busy weekend of cats 🐈 😻
In total I have seen 16 cats. I have cared for 11 cats in 3 different homes, plus 5 cats in another home that I met yesterday ready for a booking later in the year.
What a beautiful bunch of crazies they are too.
Pictured above are :-

Most people would make a daisy chain or a paper chain. Not us, we make poo chains 😅
This has to be a close record between 5 dogs and 2 dog walkers on 1 walk. Although, 5 of these actually came from Sadie that's at my feet. She was a pooing machine today 😆🙈
Atleast people can be reassured that we are responsible dog walkers when leaving fields 😆😆😆

(Oh, and Eric at the back, that wasn't with me 🤣)
The best part of my job is proving owners wrong when they say "our cat is scared of strangers, you most likely won't see him during your visits", then they are super affectionate and out for cuddles from the first visit.
That's exactly what happened with Gizmo. He is nervous of strangers they said, he hides under the bed they said 🤣
Our first ever visit on Tuesday, he came straight to me for sniffs and a head scratch. Granted he sat back and watched from the doorway after that but then I followed him upstairs and had lots of strokes on the landing. The following day, he was straight at my feet and didn't even sit back 😍
I managed to get some really lovely videos of us having some cuddles. I love this job 😍😍😍
🐈Gizmo🐈
These paws 🐾 were made for walking, so that's just what they'll do 🐕

As always, please plan and book your petcare in as much time as possible. I get booked very fast and as you can see I already have dates in 7 months of the year already filled.
If you no longer require your booking, please also give me as much notice as possible to cancel.
Thanks

Yes that is fox 💩 from head to toe 🙄
And yes it bloody stinks. Why does fox poo suffocate you so badly 🤮
Maggie does this on the regular and she's always half a field away whilst rolling to make the roll that extra bit more pleasurable for her before I manage to scream her away 🫣

⚠️Self Employment⚠️
Let me tell you a little bit about what that means.
We get paid, ONLY for the work we carry out and jobs we get.
We DO NOT get sick or holiday pay.
We DO NOT get paid bank holidays.
We spend every waking hour, worrying about how much income we will recieve at the end of each month.
We are HUMAN!!!
Unfortunately, due to a small minority, this month alone, I have lost a HUGE £700 in earnings. Now imagine, the company you work for, telling you, I can only pay you half of your wage this week, because you only did half your job and didn't meet the satisfactory requirements of your job title? You can't can you? Because they would be breaking the law.
We as self employed, do not have a law to cover our costs, we do not have a law to protect our wage.
So PLEASE, if you have booked me and DO NOT need my services anymore, follow my terms and conditions and give me at least 4 weeks notice. This gives me time to fill your pets space and earn what you have cancelled. And please just have some consideration and empathy, I can not keep getting upset over the lack of courtesy
Do you have a dog that needs a walk with one of these loveable idiots?
Pet Pawfection has space Monday and Friday to join Nala the springer on her morning walk and Tuesday and Thursday with Kobie the Rottweiler also on his morning walk.
They have both lost their walking buddies and would love to make new friends.
Can you fill their void? Get in touch if you think we can help. (Dogs MUST be child friendly)
No Job is too big, No pup is too small 😆
Or in this case "the stick is definitely too big, and the gate is definitely too small" 🤭
Big boy Kobie needed some help getting his tree through the gate 🤣🤣

Drunk in love ❤️ This is Wispy. Wispy loves cuddles, big cuddles. You can just tell how much he is adoring every bit of fuss. My favourite bit is the stretch for extra love 🥰 🐈⬛Wispy🐈⬛
On Saturday I took kobie for a little stroll whilst his pawrents were out. This little squizzle, decided to play chicken with a bloody rottweiler 🤣 luckily Kobie is a very good boy and didn't seem much fazed by it until I ran out of sight and he wanted to chase after it 😆 🐕Kobie🐕
🔊Volume up 🔊 Willows kittens are now 10 days old and have found their feet, eyes are open and certainly found their voices 😍😍 Now when I visit, if I make the slightest sound, they make a racket. Willow is always eating downstairs and speeds up to them as soon as they start shouting. She's such a good mumma 🥰 6 healthy kittens 😸 2 girls and 4 boys 😍 Happy Monday 🐈 😊 🐈Willow🐈 🐈⬛Kittens🐈⬛
The excitement Jude has had every morning to feed the buns this week 😍🥰 he went straight to the fridge to wait for the greens, ran to the back door to spot the buns and waited patiently to be let out to give them their breakfast 🥰 Isabel and Hendrix basically live in their very own mansion with a garden bigger than most new builds in the area 🤣 This is how bunnies should be treated if they are outdoor pets 😍😍 🐰Isabel🐰 🐇Hendrix🐇 👦🏽Jude👦🏽
Welcome inside peasant 🤣 This is the beautiful chaos I'm greeted too on my Sunday gun days I've mentioned this brood a few times in the past but this time I actually did a video. This noise is what starts as soon as a car arrives outside, open the door and risk burst ear drums 😆 Aren't they just a gorgeous bunch 🥰❤️ 🐶Snipe🐶 🐕Tarka🐕 🐶Ross🐶 🐕Daniel🐕 🐶Stig🐶 🐕Lottie🐕
Sydney, you never change 🙈🤣 This tree had already fallen, so of course it's the pawfect oppawtunity for him to try and uproot and drag it around right? Wrong..this time..the tree won. Sydney couldn't get it up and I'm so glad too. This thing was atleast 4 times longer than him and I didn't fancy playing human bowling with a Labrador and his tree 🤣 🐕Sydney🐕
Just to inform everyone that my diary is looking very full already this year for pet sitting. I have lots of dates already fully booked that I update all the time and have pinned to the top of my page so please refer to this when enquiring to save disappointment. Here are the current full dates for reference. April 7th - 11th May 12th & 13th, 24th -27th June 3rd - 5th & 9th - 18th July 14th & 31st August 1st- 13th, 19th - 23rd & 27th - 31st Here's a little video of my apprentice playing with Willow 😍🤭 🐈Willow🐈
Sadie and Daisy having sooo much fun last week with me and Jude. These 2 beautiful girls are so well behaved that I decided to try and ease myself into having a full load before I return fully in April, by taking them for a walk. Just look how much fun they're having in that stream. They went home in true Pet Pawfection style and covered in mud 😆 As a dog walker, there's nothing better than responsible owners that put all the time and effort into training their dogs. It makes our lives so much easier and our job a lot more pleasurable. It's a common occurance for us dog walkers to stop walking dogs due to the lack of training. We do not find pleasure in a dog that yanks our arms out our sockets or has poor recall. 🐕Sadie🐕 🐶Daisy🐶
I caught a catfish 😹 This crazy boy is a hands off kind of boy so we get lots of play in instead 🥰🎣 🐈Loki🐈
Yesterday was a sad day Whiskey said goodbye to the world 😢 after a growth suddenly appeared on his rear leg causing him to stop walking on it. The vets suggested that it was an extremely violent cancer and in order to remove it they would have to remove his entire leg but couldn't guarantee the cancer hadn't already spread. With an extremely heavy heart, his owner had to make the heart breaking decision to put him to sleep 😭 Thank you so much for the final cuddles Whiskey and all the fun walks we had, may you enjoy your time over the rainbow bridge. We will miss you and your naughty escape antics so much 😪 🌈Whiskey🌈
3..2..1..Fight These 2 babies fight so silently and controlled. They always start their fights with a paw to the face first 🤣 You can guarantee I will witness this at every visit. I always wonder though how cats can tolerate those dreaded bucks to the face. It's bad enough on my blimming arms. 🐱Meow Meow🐱 🐈Mia🐈
I'm looking after Milo and Stitch this week. They are so friendly, I absolutely love caring for them. Whilst I'm washing out their food bowls, Milo sits at my feet trying to undo my shoe laces or eat them (who knows 🤷🏼♀️). I always greet them for cuddles before feeding them otherwise they eat for ages and I don't get any love 😪 This means that Milo gets super impatient and hangry 🤣 🐈Milo🐈
This week I will not be dog walking, the entire week is supposed to be above my maximum temperature for dog walks (24c) Instead, I have been doing garden drop ins. I am back home now so wanted to check the floor temperature to show people the extent of danger to your pets paws if you take them out during daylight during a heatwave. We have artificial grass in our garden too so here is a short clip to show the temperature of the shaded patio, the patio in sunlight and our artificial grass. If anyone is debating getting artificial grass and has pets, please please consider this factor. I can not walk bare footed in our garden during a heatwave as the grass is ridiculously hot Please take care of your dogs and DO NOT walk them until after dusk and very early in the morning **Edit..the grass was 58c when I went closer to the ground. See video in comments**
Have you ever seen a bunny dreaming? Milkshake was so still that I, for a second, thought something bad. To only then realise he was in such a deep sleep that he didn't hear me open his door and walk in. It wasn't until he could smell me that he then woke up. Look at the little nose and whiskers bouncing around 😍 🐇Milkshake🐇
I love Snowball so much and get so excited when his owners go on holiday because it means I get lots of cuddles. I've already promised the owners that they will certainly home to an empty house 🤣 because he's coming home with me 😆😏 I frigging love Ragdolls. They are so affectionate as you can see from the video. Not to mention those striking blue eyes and super soft coat. It's like a therapy session 😌 Turn the volume up to hear his purr 😍 😺Snowball😺
