What is pet sitting and what are my options?

Choosing the right pet care option for your pet can leave you with so many options that it is hard to choose the right one for your pet. We have broken down some options for you to help you make the right decision for you both.

Why are we different?

  • You can contact someone who knows you and your pets 24 hours a day, even worrying about something you feel is silly!
  • We are not a faceless website, signing sitters looking for accomodation, a free holiday, a place to stay while travelling or an 'easy' way to earn cash in hard. Our sitters are proberly employed and treat pet sitting as an (albiet enjoyable) job.
  • We charge a reasonable rate for a service that goes over and above that of our competitors, including more services that you simply need for the day to day care of your home and pets.
  • In the event of a problem or concern you can pick up the phone and speak to a person you know. No sending email forms and waiting hours for a response. We deal with the problems personally and quickly.
  • We do not let our clients down. You will not be faced with sitters ghosting you, silly excuses or be told they have a better offer. In the event of an emergency or illness we will find you a replacement sitter.
  • Our service is run with a sensible approach and your pets are treated as our own. By employing mature sitters we ensure that they go over and above, especially in the event of health concerns.
