Services
Dog Walking
Our countryside group walks accommodate up to six dogs, ensuring social stimulation and physical exercise. Each hour-long session includes safe transportation in kennelled vehicles and post-walk hygiene care like paw cleaning. We prioritise safety through careful group management and route selection away from busy roads.
Home Visits
Tailored 30-minute visits include feeding, playtime, garden breaks, and basic obedience training. Ideal for busy owners needing midday pet interaction, these sessions maintain routine continuity while addressing individual animal needs through flexible scheduling options.
House Sitting
Overnight stays begin at 50 for one pet, with additional animals costing 5 extra nightly. Services combine animal care with home maintenance including plant watering and security checks. This dual focus provides complete peace of mind during owner absences.
Cat Feeding
Scheduled visits ensure cats receive regular meals, fresh water, and litter tray maintenance. Additional services include mail collection and property security checks. Each 15-minute session maintains feline comfort through consistent routine management.
Pet Transport
Secure transportation uses kennelled vehicles for safety and comfort. Available for veterinary appointments or relocation needs, our drivers maintain calm environments through temperature control and minimised journey times. All vehicles meet pet transport safety standards.
