Clients receive WhatsApp updates with photos after each session, and we accommodate special requirements like medication administration during walks.

Daily visits for feeding, grooming, and litter tray maintenance in pets' familiar environment. Includes plant watering and mail collection with optional photo updates. Our DBS-checked team administers medication and provides companionship for anxious cats.
Puppy Visits
Structured visits for feeding, toilet training, and socialisation. Our team assists with basic training and short walks post-vaccination. Services include twice-daily visits and accident cleanup, supporting puppies' developmental needs during owners' absence.
Small Animal Sitting
Specialist care for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Includes cage cleaning, feeding, and medication administration. Our trained staff provides species-specific attention while maintaining secure environments for sensitive animals.
