Welcome to Poppy & Pals – Where Your Pet’s Happiness Comes First

At Poppy & Pals, we believe your pets deserve the very best care—because they’re not just animals, they’re family. With a heartfelt commitment to their wellbeing and happiness, every service we offer is delivered with love, professionalism, and genuine passion. My name is Charlotte, and as a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet own

er, I founded Poppy & Pals to turn my passion into a purpose. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your beloved pets—someone who treats them with the same love and attention you do. That’s exactly what I set out to provide: a friendly, bespoke, and dependable service that builds lasting relationships with both you and your pets. With years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from cats and dogs to more exotic companions—I bring a deep understanding of animal care to every visit. I’m also a dedicated foster carer and trustee for a local animal rescue, with experience in everything from hand-rearing poorly rescue kittens to working patiently with dogs needing a little extra love and support. I understand that your pets are an essential part of your family—and leaving them, even for a short while, can be just as difficult for you as it is for them. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or anything in between, they’ll be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind while your furry friends are in my care. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Our Services

I'm fortunate enough to look after lots of gorgeous cats, but today on National Ginger Cat Appreiciation day I wanted to dedicate this post to one of my very first clients,Thomas who very sadly recently made his way over the rainbow bridge 😪

There is no other way to describe Thomas than a true gentleman. A complete love bug who gave incredible cuddles. I feel so very lucky to be able to have cared for him and his fur siblings over the last year.

Fly high sweet Thomas, you were one of a kind 🐱🌈

I hope everyone had a fab weekend in the sunshine 🌞

This weekend I had the pleasure of looking after Spider and Garfunkel, Jack, Missy, Maggie and Mouse and new comer to the Poppy & Pals family, Onyx.

I have very limited availability for the next few months so if you are planning on going away please get in touch sooner rather than later 🐱🐶🐾

Sorry the social media updates have been quiet recently. Since loosing our gorgeous Bruce, I'll be honest, things have been difficult. I've been busy in the background looking after all your gorgeous fur babies which has cheered me up immensely.

As have all your kind words and messages. They truly mean the world.

We are slowly getting used to a 'new normal' without our boy. Here are just a few pictures of your fur babies that have kept me smiling the last few weeks 🥰🐾

🌈I'm afraid this isn't the update I wanted to share.

Yesterday, after struggling so so much (despite his true Brucie stubbornness and spirit) with the recovery from his surgery, being very poorly and in and out the vets since his operation and a suspected torn cruciate ligament after a tumble (just to make recovery even harder) we had to make the heartbreaking decision to lay our beautiful boy to rest 😭 His body was so tired it just wasn't fair to ask him fight any longer 💔

As a family we are grieving and finding navigating life without our boy incredibly difficult.

Thank you so much for all of the messages and kind words, it truly means the world.

I will still be looking your fur babies in the background but messages and social media updates may take longer to respond too than normal. I sincerely appreciate your patience with this.

Bruce, all the time in the world could never be enough, but we're so grateful for the almost 7 years we had the privilege of being your mamas. Our handsome man, you will always be with us and we will always talk about you and keep your memory alive. Thank you for letting us love you.

We will find you and play 'h***y' and 'sticky' again our boy. Until then run pain free like the young pup you always were.

Our boy is home and almost 2kg lighter!

That was the weight of his spleen, which even for a big dog like Bruce is huge 😬

He has a very long road to recovery ahead of him, and of course the wait to find out if the tumours are cancerous. But for now he's home, calling all the shots (as usual) and being waited on hand and foot (paw) 🐾

I can't thank my incredible friends and colleagues at Brightside Vets enough for not only the 5⭐️ care our boy has recieved over the last week but also how they have looked after me. I feel very proud to be part of such an amazing team.

Thank you all so much for your kind messages and well wishes. It has meant the world and bought much needed comfort during a very scary time. We're taking Bruce's recovery a day at a time and praying for good news 🙏
