Home Alone Pet Care

Never could I imagine that just over two months since Otto passed would his “little brother” Albie be crossing the rainbow bridge so suddenly aswell 💔
It’s so hard to comprehend sometimes, especially when they had so much life left to live, but sadly Albie became very poorly, very quickly.
I remember being so excited when Albie’s family bought him home, getting to meet him as a little puppy and having that privilege of getting to look after him. His first big boy walk with the groups was 8 years ago (last photo) and he settled himself right in from the get go, making lots of friends over the years and being the cuddliest boy whenever he was boarding with me.
I gave Albie the nickname of Tigger because every single time I went to pick him up he would practically headbutt me jumping up to say hello! 😂 I’m going to miss you so much buddy, but I hope you’ve been reunited with your best friend Otto now 🧡

Yesterday my sweet Archie boy took his final trip to the rainbow bridge and even though I knew this day was coming, it’s still so incredibly sad and I can’t quite believe he’s gone 😢 💔
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of looking after Archie and his “brother” Harry for nearly ten years now, starting out with alot of pet sitting where I’d often wake up to Archie sleeping around my head, to then doing regular walks before boarding with me in their later years. We even had a little holiday together in Wales last year.
Archie was such a funny character, he would often whine at me asking to go back home during walks and when he knew we were heading back, he’d start sprinting to get there first! He just loved curling up on the sofa and if you ever couldn’t find him, I’d guarantee he’d be under the bed fast asleep.
I still remember the day I first met him and Harry, they both took their turns curling up on my lap and at the end of the consultation, their mum gave me a big hug and said she was so relieved to find someone to look after them 🥰 I hope you’ve been reunited with her up there Archie. You will be so missed, sweet dreams darling boy 🕊️✨

You always think you’ve got more adventures with all the doggies, but the inevitable always creeps up on you and on Christmas Day, sweet Otto took his last adventure to the rainbow bridge. He was living his best life right up until the end so as much as his passing was a huge shock, there’s comfort in knowing he was a happy boy until the end. Otto joined the pack within my very first year and he was always such a pleasure to walk and look after. I’m always honoured by the number of years I get to spend with these dogs and even though there’s heartbreak when they leave us, that doesn’t take away all the amazing memories and fun times over the years. You will be so missed Otto. I’ll be sure to give your siblings Albie and Lucky extra cuddles next time I see them 🌈🧡✨

I recently learned the sad news of one of my former regular dogs Gnasher passing away. It’s been a couple of years since he was on the groups as his body couldn’t manage it anymore, but he’d still come to me for boarding which was always lovely to still be able to see him. He was such a sweet boy, always happy to come on adventures with us and help me teach the younger dogs some manners 😂 he made it to 15 which for a bigger dog is a fantastic achievement. He was just always one of my “easy” dogs by being so well behaved and just stuck to my side. Rest easy Gnash, we’ll miss you 🌈 🕊️ 💫

I’m a bit late for an August roundup, but it’s been a pretty crappy month to be honest what with losing my wonderful Nan and then my van being stolen. But there’s always lovely moments in this job to help get me through 🫶🏼

As of today in the UK, pets are now classed as sentient beings and not inanimate objects when it comes to theft 🙌🏼 it’s about time 👏🏼

Rylee’s rescue have come across some very poorly puppies and they decided they couldn’t leave any of them behind. They really need help to cover the medical and boarding costs, if you can spare any amount, big or small it goes a long way 🤍 here is the go fund me page they have set up for them https://tr.ee/1I3-F5DMut
