My wife Sammie and I (Terry) are a nurse and teacher by profession but have a love of animals.
We have experience of looking after other people's pets, as we used to dogsit for a couple who worked long hours and had a puppy who couldn't be left alone. We both loved the experience of getting to spend time with other animals.
We have both always had pets, both before we were together and now. There was a brief period for a couple of months when it was just us two but we quickly agreed it was too quiet without any furries causing mayhem. Sammie has experience with dogs, as she had a border collie for 14 years. She is a complete natural with them and dogs (as well as all animals) take to her immediately. I had a cat who lived to be 15, who moved in with us when we first got a place together. At the moment we have two rabbits, after the passing of our rats. All of them were rescues. We had to work very hard with one of the rabbits (Jasmine) who wouldn't allow anyone to touch her food or her when she first came to us, but who now invites herself onto the sofa or nudges our feet when she wants attention. Alby and Jasmine immedietely took a disliking to each other when Alby was introduced, but through hard work and patience they are now absolutely inseperable.
We are happy to look after any kind of animal and will tailor the service to suit their needs, so please feel free to run anything by us. We ideally would visit together to ensure any jobs such as feeding can be done as efficiently as possible allowing your pet maximum leisure time, but depending on our schedules only one of us may make certain appointments.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Terry and Sammie looked after my cat for a few days over the Christmas period and I couldn’t be happier!
My original cat sitter backed out last minuet and I was worried I would be unable to find a replacement at such short notice (day before Christmas Eve), however, Terry and Sammie were on hand to help.
We arranged a meet and greet for them meet my cat (Stormzy) and it was clear from the outset that both Terry and Sammie have a wealth of experience with animals. Stormzy took to them straight away.
I was sent a photo and update on the first day Terry and Sammie dropped in and again on the final day so as to keep me informed.
On retuning the flat, litter trays and food bowls had been left clean so no nasty surprises. Also, the price was very reasonable particularly given it was Christmas period.
All in all, it was 5 out 5 service and I would definitely recommend / wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
