I've fallen absolutely in love with this little dude 🥰

He has 4 other brothers who are an absolute delight, full of energy, character, and chaos. I'm having the best time pet sitting them ❤️

I've been super slack on posting on socials, but here's Poppy.
She's absolutely adorable, quite nervous about new situations, and looks for reassurance a lot, so we go at her pace, building our bond, enjoying the walks, and keeping it calm and relaxing. 🐾

Halloween and our pets 🎃

Whilst we may all love celebrating Halloween we must remember how our pets may precede our decorations, trick and treaters as well as when out and about on walks, stumbling upon homes decorated for Halloween.

Animatronics not only give us a fright, but also our pets. Which can cause fear based reactivity, the flight/fight response and abnormal behaviour.

As Halloween nears, superstitions like bad luck and black cats can be heightened, it's very important all cats are kept inside and safe on Halloween night.
Dogs are walked before dark, and if need the toilet once dark are taken on lead in the garden, and never left alone.
Dogs are kept in a safe and secure room away from the front door and trick or treaters.

Halloween Night- Key keep safes -
🦇 Keep cats safe indoors
🦇 Put all pets in a safe and secure room away from the front door
🦇 Calming music helps distract from the noise of trick or treaters
🦇 Long lasting treats, such as stuffed kongs or frozen lickmats to keep your pet busy
🦇 Walk dogs before dark
🦇 Take your dog on lead in the garden, if they need the loo
🦇 Make sure tasty sweets and treats are up high and out of reach
🦇 Make sure decorations are safe and secure from pets
🦇 Candle lit pumpkins should never be left unattended with pets

Want to know the secret to spot a happy guinea piggy?😊

Here's a clue: You’ll probably hear them before you see them!

Signs of a happy guinea pig are:

• Excited, wheeking, squeaking, and purring or chutting sounds
• Popcorning and zoomies, running and jumping around having large bursts of energy
• Good appetite, and eating a balanced diet that they’ve been provided with
• Sleeps out in the open despite hiding spaces in their environment

Understanding your guinea pigs’ behaviour is important, chances are if your guinea pig is showing these signs, they are happy and their needs are met.

Don’t forget that they are small, but their welfare needs are not! Ensure you can provide them with the love and care they deserve before adopting! 🐹

It's Guinea Pig Awareness Week!

Here at The Pet Best Friend, we absolutely love Guinea Pigs!
Owning 6 ourselves!

Guinea Pig Info!
♡ Guinea Pigs must live at least in pairs
♡ It's recommended- females to one neutered male
♡ Guinea Pigs must have access to hay 24/7
♡ Guinea Pigs make wonderful pets and can be very social to their owners
♡ You can have two neutered males if bonded young enough, neutered, and they have a large enough enclosure.

Our Guinea Pigs have a converted shed and run for the summer time and come inside winter time 🥰 What started with just a couple soon turned into more, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy National Rabbit Day 🐇

Meet Lilly a lovely but very cheeky rabbit, I pet sit a couple of weeks ago!

Rabbits are one of the number one abandoned animals in rescues. Many people get them without realising the work they take to look after!

Here are a few things to remember if you're interested in getting rabbits.
A hutch is Never enough! Look at playhouses or sheds, then add a large run where they can express all their natural behaviours.
Pairs are best, ideally male/female pairs (just make sure they are neutered!)
Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk. It's important they have access to their run at all times
Rabbits love to dig!! Make sure you include a rabbit safe dig box.
Rabbits are expensive! With the annual vaccinations and making sure you cover their diet correctly! It soon all adds up!
Rabbits aren't good pets for children!

Do you have pet rabbits? How will you be spoiling them today?

A hello from my boys, Larry and Fluffy (Leo)

I thought I'd introduce you to two of my three dogs!

Up front and centre is my lovely Larry, he is a Romanian rescue, out of all my dogs, Larry has taught me the most. After he came over to the UK, he went straight into a home, where sadly things all went a bit wrong, and he found himself in the rescue that I was working at. I never meant to rehome him, only help him build his confidence and be his support when he needed it the most. I ended up failing in love and bringing home home! It's safe to say we didn't have a smooth run to begin with, but we taught each other a lot and I'm happy to say I'm now a much better owner, and dog lover! Sometimes, it takes stepping back from all you know and actually listening to your dog. They tell us so much.

And the wonderful Fluffy Cloud, who is rarely called Leo, his real name 😅
I know I'm not the only one who has an unusual name for her furbabies 😊
What do you call your furbabies?

Recent twice daily pet sit pop ins with these three beautiful cats 🥰

Tilly, Charlie and Booboo 😻

These three were an absolute joy to look after, each have very different personalities and very different needs, which I made sure I catered for.

Tilly for sure won me completely over. She would wait by the gate for me and walk me to the door waiting for her meals and some snuggles!

Hello 👋

I'm Charley, and recently, I've decided to turn the small side job of pet sitting into a full-time business!

I'm offering my services of pet sitting and dog walking to the following animals-
Dogs
Cats
Rabbits and Guinea Pigs
Rodents
Poultry

Know your pets are well cared for and happy in their own homes with me. I'm extremely loving, trustworthy, and reliable.

Any animal will be treated as I treat my own. 🥰
