What are we going to do about the pets?!

With the detailed information- I am comfortable to look after pets including reptiles (pets at home experience), small animals, cats, dogs and some farm animals.

Sadly not. As much as I would love to be able to provide that level of time to your pets- I have regular walking clients. My most common booking combination for holiday pet sitting  is the full package of care repeated for as many days as you need. This means your dog will be alone for approx 4 hrs twice a day. This aims to mimic an average working pattern.  For weekends however there is much more availability. 

Yes! If your dog enjoys the company of others and is used to enjoying sharing a bed then they are welcome to continue to do so. 

Yes! The main benefit of pet-sitting is to disrupt your dogs routine as little as possible. If your dog benefits from sleeping in their safe-space then I will follow your instructions to continue their regular routine. 

I recommend having a key ready for your last booked visit before you require the service.  I can also drop the key off directly to you or leave it where you request. 

If you have a lockbox you can provide the code. If this feels daunting- you can temporarily change your code if you'd like to keep your usual code private. 

I am able to support in giving prescribed medication. I have years of experience in administering medication in a professional setting with humans and with animals when working in pets at home and as part of Step Pets care. 

I do not have any advertising on my vehicle at customers houses for this reason. With dog thefts being uncomfortably common I am very careful to ensure not to make it clear people are away. My social media posts do not share locations and I ensure to blur out information in pictures such as road names or collar tags.

Sadly pets can get ill despite humans best efforts to keep them safe and well. You will be receiving daily updates and will be informed if there are any concerns regarding your pets welfare. My forms do include treatment consent and vet information for such circumstances. I am experienced in liaising with health professionals and ensure that any concerns are relayed to you and where necessary your vet. I will support your pet to a vet if it is required. In an emergency if you can not be contacted, the emergency contact info you provide will be called. However, be assured that if nobody can be contacted I will make sure your pet still receives the care and attention they require.
