Pet Sitting

Pet sitting is a great service for when you are away from home longer than usual - whether that's a long day or a weeks holiday! This is especially good for pets that are happiest staying in their own environment, or when you have more than one pet to be looked after.

Why use a pet sitter?

There are many benefits to using a pet sitter when you are away from home. These include:

Our service can be tailored to suit your pet's individual needs
Familiar sights, smells and routines are very comforting to your pets
Some pets (especially cats) are better suited to remaining at home
If you have different pets, you don't need to make different arrangements for all of them - such as small animal boarding, cattery, kennels etc.
We have years of experiance of all different pets
Your house doesn't look empty whilst you are away
We can do additional duties such as collecting the post, watering plants, putting the bins out etc.

Initial meeting / consultation

If we’re pet sitting at your house, we arrange an appointment to visit your home when you first call us. During this time, we:

Meet you and your pets and get detailed information about their care, idiosyncrasies and special needs. A form will be brought to the visit for your perusal and signature(s). It offers an option to pre-approve emergency pet care in case it is needed while you are away.
Obtain necessary paperwork for emergency veterinary care (see above)
Obtain payment for long term care. Alternatively, you can leave a check for payment on the kitchen counter before you leave.
Pick up a key to your home.
