What do you love most about your job?
Looking after the pets in my care, whether its walking or cuddling, teaching better behaviours or veterinary nursing. I love all aspects of my job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working in a veterinary clinic for many years, I have often thought about setting up my own pet care business. It was quite a difficult decision to leave the clinic environment behind as it is the only job I have ever dreamed of and I have loved every minute of it. But, I felt the time was right to try a new venture of my own that still involves some veterinary nursing but also allows me to pursue my love of being outdoors and walking.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have many, many years experience of looking after dogs, cats and small furries. I have worked with animals since the age of 13 when I helped out at a local boarding kennels. At 16 I started full time in a veterinary clinic and then went on to qualify as a registered veterinary nurse.
I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish of own my whole life.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
All pet care services are carried out in your own home.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If you are worried about covid-19 please let me know during our initial chat and I will take any reasonable precautions you request.
Dog walking
I only offer one to one dog walks unless there is more than one dog in the family. The walk will last for either 30 minutes or one hour, whichever you prefer for your pet. The time of the walk will start from when we leave the house and until we return. I will clean any excess mud from your dog and dry with a towel before letting them back in to your home.
Pet Sitting
If you need someone reliable and experienced to look after your cat or small pet while you are away please give me a call. I will visit once or twice a day, whichever you prefer, to feed, clean and cuddle your pet. Each visit will last for 30 minutes. I will also bring post in and put bins away if necessary.
Canine Behaviour Practitioner
I will visit your home to discuss your dogs behaviour, a history will be taken and a full assessment made. You will receive a written behaviour modification plan with tasks for you to follow over a 6 week period.
I always use positive methods of behaviour modification, making it fun for both owners and their canine companions.
Mobile Veterinary Nurse
If your pet doesn't like going to the vet I can help reduce some of the stress by visiting your home to carry out veterinary care such as nail clips, emptying anal glands, cleaning ears, giving nutrition advice and checking teeth.
