Why Choose Me?

Theo and Cookie

There are many reasons why you should consider my business to look after your pet.

 

Firstly I am the business and I will undertake all duties personally giving you peace of mind that no one else under contract or employed will be caring for your pet or entering your property.

Furthermore:- 

 

  • Arrangements are always made to meet you and your pet to discuss your requirements and your pet's care before any service is provided. This initial meeting is free and there is no obligation to proceed.

 

  • My aim is to continue your pets daily routine as closely as possible to minimise them missing you and keeping them as happy as possible. Of course with lots of attention and the familiarity of their own home and environment, this is a winning combination for a very happy cat, dog, rabbit, guinea pig or other small furry friend. 

 

  • I am reliable, honest, have a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them.

 

  • The safety and well-being of your pet is very important to me. If in the unlikley event there was an emergency I will attempt to contact you first but, if necessary,I will liase with your own vet or if unavailable another local vet.

 

  • To help with home security I am very discreet as I do not use an advertised vehicle nor do I wear a uniform.

 

  • I will only walk one owner's dog(s) at a time. Be rest assured no group or pack walking and the British weather is not an issue!

 

  • Dogs are walked from your home and enjoy a circular walk back to you exploring paved routes, local parks and open spaces eg. Hornchurch Country Park. Again be rest assured no vans/transport which effectively reduce your pets exercise time whilst travelling to/from places.

 

  • With the knowledge that your pet is in safe, capable hands alleviates the worry and stress of leaving your cat at a cattery for instance, or relying on busy relatives, neighbours and friends to look in from time to time to care for your pet, or asking for help to walk your dog even if it just for a relief break.

 

  • Keys left in my custody are kept separate from your personal details, are not identifiable with your home address and for extra security are kept in a locked tin. Some of my clients  leave a set of keys with me in case they need an emergency visit to care for their pet or so they can book future services more easily. Others let me have their keys at the initial consultation and I drop them back when I know that they are home. I will only release keys to you and not to a third party.

 

Lastly it is very important to remember that I am a member of the recognised 'Nationwide Associates of Registered Pet Sitters', hold a clear basic disclosure certificate and my business is fully insured including public liabilty.
