Furrytales - dog walking & pet sitting in the Vale of Belvoir

06/05/2024

Hi my furry pals

Looks like the weather might finally be turning in our favour and we can get out for some nice Bank Holiday walks.

Just to let you know, there are still a few spaces available for Holiday dog walks and also cat sitting.

I have to end today with a few goodbyes. Sadly a few of our pals have crossed the rainbow bridge recently including my long standing sidekick. Run free my pals, you will be sadly missed.

Take care my friends and hope to see you soon.

Hi my furry pals

Hope you're all keeping well. With the easter holidays on the horizon let's hope that the weather will finally get better so we can all get out and enjoy it.

I still have availability for cat/small pet sitting plus a limited number of dog walking spots will soon be coming available. Please contact me for further information.

Take care my furry friends and I hope to see you soon.

Hi my furry pals, hope you are all well. I'm asking something I don't normally do and hope perhaps you can help me.

I am looking for a home for a little furry purry who has just lost her mum, she's a very sweet older cat (indoor mainly) who just needs love, fuss and a knee but preferably no dogs. If you think you might be able to help, please get in touch. Thanks very much my furry friends xx

I'd just like to wish all our furry pals a happy and safe 2024

Hi my furry pals

Hope you're all well and ready for the festive season.

Please remember to be very careful with all the extra exciting things that you have around the home. No eating or chewing things you shouldn't.

As we come towards the end of another year, spare a few moments to remember our furry friends both 2 and 4 pawed who have sadly left us, all very much missed.

We are open all over the Christmas and New Year period should you need any last minute visits.

May I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi my furry pals

I hope you're having a really great start to autumn.

How are you all coping with the wet weather. Remember it's very important to dry wet paws and be aware of mud stuck between toes as this can cause problems.

As we approach pets owners most dreaded time of year, remember to stay calm for your pals sake. Give them a quiet, safe space to hide if they want. Make them a den behind the sofa, give them their favourite toys/blankets to help calm them. Also Classic FM are doing a special radio show of calming music on both Saturday & Sunday, or just ask your smart speaker to play claming music.

We are coming to the end of a very busy half term and I would just like to thank you all.

There is still time to book any Christmas pop-in's for shopping trips and party nights. I am working over the entire holiday period, so if you're going away or have a house full on the big day I will be available to help if I can.

Finally, it is with a heavy heart that we heard the sad news of a long time furry pals passing. Run free my friend.

Take great care everyone and look forward to seeing you soon 🐾🐾

Hi my furry pals.

Hope you have all had a really great summer. Here at Furrytales we have been extra busy this holiday season, welcoming back all our old friends and meeting some new paws.

We hope you all enjoyed your time with us and I would just like to say Thank You.

As the nights are starting to draw in, take care when out and about on those lovely walks (especially with the plants and brambles, no upset tummies please) and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Take care my furry friends

Congratulations my furry pals

You have completed our April 'Stand Up 2 Cancer' sponsored walks.

We smashed our target of 60 miles by doing almost 100, you can now give your paws a bit of a rest. Once I know our final total I will let you know.

Certificates and a small gift will be given to all the dogs who took part.

Thank you and take care my furry friends

24/04/2023

Hi my furry pals

Hope you are all well and had a good Easter.

Our charity walks have gone well, even with all the rain. We have already walked further than our target. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us.

The summer diary is filling fast, so if you think you might need any help, whether that be pop-in's for long days out with the family or small animal/cat care, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Take care and enjoy the upcoming coronation celebrations.

06/04/2023

Hi my furry friends

Hope you are all well and ready for the long Easter weekend.

Walks are going well for our 'Stand Up to Cancer ' charity with over a quarter of our target already walked.

Furrytales would like to welcome some new paws to our family, we hope you enjoy your time with us.

Have a safe and happy break but please remember - no chocolate for dogs please.

Take care my furry pals and hope to see you soon

Hi my furry friends.

I hope you are all keeping fit and well.

Here at Furrytales I thought it would be a great idea to put all our steps to good use by taking part in a sponsored walk.

It was a hard decision which charity to choose but I know of so many families that have been/are affected by this disease. I'm sure that any small amount that we can raise will help.

If you feel that you are able to help in any small way it would be much appreciated.

Take care and stay safe my furry pals.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m walking 60 miles in April for the Stand Up To Cancer Walkies Challenge with the help of all my furry pals. Paw-lease show your support and help fund life-saving research by donating to my page.

Hi my furry pals

Happy New Year to you all

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year with lots of new toys, walks, and a few treats.

As the decorations get packed away for another year, thoughts might head towards another sort of packing - suitcases and holidays.

I know it's early in the year, but dates are already being pencilled in. So if you are thinking of a break, best to get in touch sooner than later to avoid disappointment.

Take care my furry friends

Here are some tips to keep your dog warm this winter season!

Please comment below if you have any more good ones 🥶

28/11/2022

Hi my furry friend's, hope you are all well & coping with the rain and mud. Dark, short days are here so that must mean it's nearly time for Christmas. As usual I will be open all holiday season for party pop-in's plus the usual cat sitting & dog walks, just give me a ring if you need help. Take care my furry pals and see you soon

19/10/2022

Hi my furry pals. We hope that you all had a great summer.

With the daylight getting shorter for walks, please remember to take extra care and make yourself & your pal visible to traffic.

As we approach both Halloween and firework season, please think about how your furry friends (not just dogs & cats) will cope with all the noise, parties and extra chocolate that may be around.

Finally we would like to say a big welcome to some new furry pals but also some very sad and unexpected goodbyes to some original furry pals who have now sadly passed over the rainbow bridge, our condolences to their owners.

Take care everyone & see you soon.

Hi my furry pals

Hope you are all keeping safe and well.

I seem to be having mobile phone problems, especially text messages. Could I therefore please ask if anyone needs to contact me to either WhatsApp me or email while my provider sorts it out. Thank you.

Take care my furry friends.

Hi my furry pals

Well, what a year 2021 has been for so many reasons.

We have welcomed some new faces (both 2 and 4 legged) into the Furrytales family and very sadly lost some great pals too.

Now, as we approach the festive season I would very much like to thank you all for your continued support through what has been a difficult time for so many.

Let's hope that 2022 is a better year for everyone.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

Take great care and stay safe my furry friends and I look forward to seeing you all soon 🐾🐾

Hi my furry friends

I hope that you are all keeping safe and well now that most things are as 'normal' as they are going to get for now. Please remember to take care and respect other peoples wishes too regarding distance, masks, etc.

The Furrytales family would like to welcome some new and returning pals and hope that they enjoy their time with us.

We would also like to send our very best woofs & wags to some pals who have left our patch. Good luck ☘ with everything in your new home.

Sadly🌈, we have lost a few friends (both 2 and 4 legged) these last few months, we send our condolences to you all.

For those with half term soon, have a nice break and remember to take care out and about on these darker and no doubt damper days.

Look after yourselves my furry pals and see you soon 🐾🐾

21/09/2021

Hi my furry pals

Hope you are all well & settling into the Autumn.

I know I shouldn't mention it yet, but a certain season will soon be here. I am working over the whole period but spaces are starting to fill so if you are looking to go & visit people who you didn't get to see last year, please get in touch, even if you only need a pop-in or comfort visit so you can have a longer day.

Take care my furry friends and make sure you can be seen on these darker evenings 🐾🐾

17/08/2021

Hi my furry pals

Hope you are all keeping safe and well while enjoying your summer walks and breaks away.

The new school year will soon be here and some of you may also be returning to your workplaces after a long (but necessary) break.

How are your furry friends going to manage?

Here at Furrytales I can offer pop-in comfort breaks and short or regular walks to suit your pets needs. These services are available 7 days a week allowing for trips out at the weekend.

If I can be of any help or your need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Take care my furry friends and I hope to see you all soon.🐾🐾

18/07/2021

Hi my furry pals. Hope you are all keeping safe in these exceptionally hot conditions.

For everyone's safety and health I have taken the decision to change this weeks walks to garden comfort visits only. This will still enable your pal to get out but without the risk of burnt pads or overheating. If you need anything different, please contact me.

Take care my furry friends, see you soon 🐾🐾

27/06/2021

Hi my furry pals

Are you all ready for your summer hol's?

Hopefully we will have some nice weather so you can get out and about or perhaps your owners just fancy a nice day out on their own.

I am here all summer for doggy pop-in's or cat and small animal holiday care, so please give me a call if I can help.

Have a good summer and take care of paws on hot surfaces 🐾

19/05/2021

Hi my furry pals.

Hope that you are all well and getting ready for some better weather.

Now that even more places are opening up and you can meet for perhaps a day out or cinema trip, there is no need to worry about leaving your pal all day at home - why not let me 'pop-in' and give them some attention, whether it be a walk, convenience break, tea or just a big fuss. Please feel free to contact me.

Take care my furry friends and stay safe 🐾🐾

20/04/2021

Hello my furry pals.

I hope that you are coping with this lovely warm, dry weather. Remember to ask your hoomans to give your paws a quick check as these stones can be a bit sharp.

Things are slowly re-opening and you may have gone back to work or just having socially distance meetings with family/friends meaning that your furry friend is being left alone more than they have been for a long time.

Is this causing a problem? Are they showing signs of stress, chewing furniture/shoes or suddenly toileting indoors?

If so, give me a call & we will see if there is a sensible solution to this as your dog is a valued member of your family and may just need a bit of extra support to get them through, just like some of us.

Take care my furry pals and stay safe🐾🐾
