About Sarah
We only have one pet at a time, but will consider two pets from the same owner. We do not have any pets of our own. Your pet(s) will be our priority during their stay with us.
"Our pack" consists of me, my husband, and our daughter who is at university. We are all animal lovers, recently fostering a mother cat and three kittens for a local charity. We had them from when the kittens were only 7 weeks old until they were adopted after 6 months.
Before that we had been doggy owners, losing our cherished chihuahua to a congenital heart condition almost a year ago. We understand how a fur baby becomes a part of the family and how tough it can be to leave them in someone else's care.
I grew up with cats, rabbits and a Guinea pig, and spending time with my grandparents' doggy. As an adult, I was a dog owner for ten years.
I adore animals, and love caring for them.
It's important that when you choose us to care for your pet, you can trust that they will be our priority for the full duration their stay, be it for just a few hours or a fortnight stay. We therefore only have one booking at a time. However we would consider two pets from the same owner. We schedule our bookings so that pets arriving and pets leaving do not overlap, as this can be unsettling for your pet to experience, especially for more anxious doggies or kitties.
I am home full time and will spend lots of time with your fur baby, playing, taking them for walkies and giving them care and attention.
We live close to the park for nice walkies and also have a small, fenced-in garden. There are some photos of our home and garden in the gallery. We are very safety minded and have cable protectors and plug socket covers. I am calm and patient (from years as a teacher) and have an enhanced DBS. We have pet daycare and boarding insurance in place.
All pets we care for, day-care or overnight stays, must be up to date with flea and worming treatments, and vaccinations.
We offer Free meet and greets. It's important for us to get to know your little one before they come for their stay. During our meet and greet, you and your fur baby can meet me and see our home and garden. It will be an opportunity for me to meet your fur baby and make sure we can offer the right environment for them during their stay. I will want to know all about them, and you will be able to ask all the questions you have about your pet staying with us. Please also let me know anything in particular you would like for your pet during their stay. I’ll do my best to help.
When your booking is confirmed, I will send over a short online form for you to give me all of the information I will need to make your pet feel happy and at home throughout their stay. All information you have about your pet is as important to us as it is to you, so please tell us everything that will help us to give your pet the same care that you give to them when they're at home.
For that home from home experience, I will adjust my day to suit your pet’s usual routine. This is easy to do as I’m at home throughout the week and we only care for one pet at a time.
Therefore the day will all depend on your fur baby’s usual routine. We can have lots of fun playing with your pet’s favourite toys or their favourite games. We can go for walkies, once, twice a day or three times a day, and we can have snuggles on the sofa. They will eat at their usual times and if they have a bedtime routine, we can keep to that too. Let me know what will work best to help your pet settle in and feel at home, and we’ll do the rest!
Having had our own fur baby, we know how important it is that you feel assured your pet is in safe hands while you're away. I will send you regular updates and pics throughout your little one's stay, and you're welcome to message me and check in on your little one whenever you like.
If you are a loving pet owner looking for a kind, gentle and responsible animal carer to look after your fur baby.. then look no further.
