Fairfield Walk and Wags

I’ve been entrusted as chief carer for Caramac and Milkyway for a few days by the toughest of clients - my tween child!

Take care in this warm weather

Did you know that dogs can only sweat through their paws? Dogs lose heat through panting, but this isn't always efficient enough when the weather is warm 🌡️

Figures from The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) show that vets see five times more heatstroke cases during hot weather, with one in four heatstroke patients dying 😔

To give a dog with heatstroke the best chance of survival, they need to be cooled down immediately and taken to a vet as soon as possible. Familiarise yourself with the warning signs: https://bit.ly/3P9wBkr

As of 1 May 2024 my rates will be increasing. This is not a decision I’ve come to lightly, but they’re still at the original rate from when I set up in February 2019.
The new rates will be
15minutes let out/feed/fussing/clean out etc - £7.00
30minutes £9.00
45 minutes £11.00
60 minutes £14.00
Second dog from the same home will still be charged at 50% and other services/walk times are available.

I have limited availability for pet sitting in your own house, please feel free to contact me for rates and any further information.

There will be no change to the service offered, I will continue to fuss and treat your pets as though they were my own, I’m always generous with my time and they’ll have a lovely towel down if needed.

I can’t believe that I’m entering my 6th year or business. I’d never have believed that when I first set up. A little part time business adventure to give me something to do while Hannah was at nursery a few times a week. Some of my early walks she was in a carrier on my back, now she’s in year 3 at school! I may not have foreseen either a global pandemic or a shock diagnosis of cancer, hampering my ability to operate, but I remain so proud of the fact that I continued all through out my treatment with virtually no time off, unless I was in hospital. I may still not be completely finished on my medical pathway, but the end IS insight, although not quite sure when! Thank you for those that have supported me right from day one, and also to those that have joined me along the way, I couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to the next 6 years and hopefully they’ll be significantly better ones!!

A temporary little house guest. We are currently fostering this gorgeous chappie before he flies off to be reunited with his owners on the otherside of the planet. They’ll miss each other so much (as we will miss him) and he made himself at home straight away. While I don’t offer the service of dog boarding, I do have very limited availability for pet sitting in your home. Please do feel free to enquire. Your pets will be fussed and spoilt and treated as if they were my own.

Welcome to the family. These 2 little gerbils, or ‘gib-gibs’ as my daughter affectionately calls them joined our family on Boxing Day. My 10 year old is being so responsible for them, and they get lots of fuss and attention and are very friendly. Welcome to the family Caramac and Milkyway.

Did you know I also offer the service of small pet drop ins/feed.

I’m not one for keeping this page regularly updated, as is obvious!!, but here’s a few walks from recent weeks. I would never be a pet photographer!!

So, it’s been a long long time since I posted on here, I was never any good at this SM side of things! Most of you will be aware of my business companion, but for those of you that don’t - meet Penny. She’s our 2 year old Labrador and as you may have been able to guess by the fact my daughters have dressed her up, she is the most placid dog imaginable and takes any amount of playing with by my not so little people! She’s extremely friendly and (mostly) very well behaved, and will often be out accompanying your 4 legged friends on walks and keeping them company. Please spread the word, that after a rocky few years, Fairfield Walk and Wags is back up and running normally and available for dog walking as well as small pet drop ins.
