Questions
What pet species can you care for?
We handle common domestic animals plus exotic species like crested geckos and chickens. Our experience includes administering injectable medications under veterinary guidance.

Yes, we offer 24-hour care packages with flexible duration options from single nights to multi-week assignments. All overnight services include morning and evening pet care routines.
How do you handle emergency situations?
While not offering medical emergency services, we maintain protocols for contacting veterinary professionals and executing pre-agreed care instructions during unexpected incidents.
What entertainment age ranges do you cater for?
Our children's services suit ages 2+ with specific offerings: face painting from age 2, balloon modelling from age 3, and circus workshops for ages 8 upwards.
Can you accommodate multiple pets from different households?
We typically walk single-household dogs only, but can arrange supervised group activities with client consent. Pet sitting maintains strict separation between non-cohabiting animals.
