Pets:
We've taken care of cats, horses, fish, goats, chickens and sheep (11 ewe and 18 lamb) and a parrot. We've previously had a number of cats at home and supervised our cat through her pregnancy, assisting her in delivering 5 kittens (very exciting experience!). We're experienced with handling different temperaments & personalities.

We've also cared for 3 lovely horses simultaneously, daily duties: refilling hay nets, keeping water troughs full and mucking out stables.

Lately we cared for 11 ewe and 18 lamb for 5 weeks, daily duties: counting flock, filling water buckets for the lambs, feeding pellets every couple of days. Was a lovely experience especially when the lambs let you scratch there head, was sad to say goodbye.

The bond people have with their pets is so special, as previous pet owners we can relate and know it's difficult to leave someone else in charge. We also understand the need to know your home & precious pets are in safe hands and being well looked after. Therefore, we provide regular updates throughout the sit (at your discretion), as of Feb 2022 I'm fully DBS (criminal record check) checked to give you peace of mind and further reassurance. We're responsible, clean and considerate professionals that will take care of your home as if it's our own. We see a home as a sanctuary that should be taken care of with love and respect.
