Just a little reminder…

I offer HOUSE SITTING
not
HOME BOARDING

What’s the difference you ask?

House Sitting is where I come and stay in your home with your pets, the extra piece of mind that your home is also being cared for, car in and out, lights on and off aswell as curtains open and closed.
House sitting can be done with insurance (which I have and proof can be provided)
If you also look at your home insurance if you were to have any issues while being away from prolonged periods of time and your house is left empty, if there is a issue you may find that your insurance is invalidated. This isn’t just if you have pets!

Home Boarding is where you pets go and stay in someone else’s home. Which is great, I know with Maple although we have some fanatic kennels around Maple wouldn’t settle and she loves going to her home boarding.
Home boarding requires inspection & a lisence from your local council, landlords permission (if you rent) as well as insurance.

I have got plenty of people that I can recommend if I’m busy for house sitting, where you can send your dog to kennels as well as options for home boarding.

Here is a picture of my longest house sitting clients … I’ve been house sitting for them for about 12years now. They are no longer clients, they are very close family friends too 💕

References are always available to be shared. I’ve got numerous people that are happy to chat to new enquiries.

Please note: due to a change in personal circumstances Maple (my friendly vaccinated, spayed JackRussell) has to be able to come with me. I always do a free meet and greet so you can meet her and we know the dogs will settle with her around. If she is unable to be with me and I need to get care for her this will be an additional cost but also reduces availability.

I’m not a vet as a couple of EX clients have reminded me but I have experience of various situations.

I can hand on heart say that these pooch and much treats work. Maple 🍁 is a sensitive sole when it comes to travelling in the dark and when the wind makes loud noises these really keep her settled ☺️

Apologies in advance.

I’m now back from my holiday with Maple to Mull. It has been AMAZING 🤩

I think I’ve got back to everyone that has messaged just before or while I’ve been away. If I haven’t replied please give me another nudge!

House Sitting is now FULL until JUNE with availability for the rest of the year filling up quickly.
Please be aware that I am grouping my days off together & trying to take more time for myself which is also reducing availability ☺️
