Jenny, Glenn and the Running Duck team are excellent pet sitters. They made everything feel very relaxed and at ease but at the same time showed high degree of care and professionalism in caring for our dog whilst we were away.
Thanks All!

Thank you for your 5-star review, Alex :-). I am so glad that your little guy has a regular local couple that loves him and looks after him when you are away.

What a brilliant service and lovely couple who house sat. My cat is very shy with new people but he soon settled with George and Jenny and even sent me messages!

Jenny and family are a godsend, we were able to relax on holiday, knowing our precious dog was in safe hands! Having someone love your pet as much as you is so comforting. I can not recommend Jenny enough, she is reliable, trustworthy and a thoroughly lovely person. The Mary Poppins of dog sitters, practically perfect in every way! More...

What do you love most about your job?
It sounds strange indeed to call our service a job. There are two key aspects that have provided us with much satisfaction. The first and most important is the characterful animals we look after. The companionship and affection they provide are very rewarding.
The other aspect is the homes and areas we get to serve our clients in has enabled us to live out many different lifestyles. From remote cottages out on the moors to seaside homes. We follow Slow Living principles which is about living MORE with LESS in order to live intentionally.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We had reached crossroads in our life. A little bit of empty nest syndrome was at play and we asked ourselves what now? We didn't set out to start a business. It evolved from helping out to something much bigger than we ever anticipated. We pinch ourselves that we are able to have such a fulfilling business.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are local to the area and as such are not tourists seeking a base from which to explore. Therefore we don't treat your pets as incidental to the arrangement. Your pets have our undivided attention and love. We are self-sufficient and balanced keeping you in the loop with being able to take care of incidents as they arise.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Our service is a live-in service. We do not provide remote service. However, we are able to do meet and greets via video calls either on WhatsApp or Skype.
Dog Sitting in owners home 24 hour service
We provide a pet sitting service so that your dogs can stay in their own home. They get to follow their routine and are looked after by reliable, local house sitters.
Vets agree that pets are happier and healthier when cared for in their usual surroundings and are less likely to become stressed or ill.
We love animals and enjoy their companionship.
Special needs such as medication can be accommodated. Dogs will be walked according to the agreed schedules and this is usually a good walk once or twice a day depending on the dog breed and needs.
We care for puppies through to senior dogs and everything in between.
PS We can look after your cats too.
Our rates are per day or part thereof and start at a minimum of £60 per day. We will discuss your requirements and provide an individual quote.
Cat Sitting in your own home 24 hour service
We stay in your home with your moggie and give them all the cuddles they need. Along with feeding, watering and keeping the litter tray clean. Often with cats, we provide them with a doorman service as cats are usually the wrong side of a closed door.
