HOME ALONE PETS

Dog walking and small pet visiting service

SMALL PET VISITS

The small pet visiting service is ideal for owners who are on holiday, or away overnight or for the weekend, and who want their pets to be cared for in their own homes without relying on family or friends.  Many pets prefer to stay in familiar surroundings rather than go through the stress of going to boarding facilities and it also avoids the chance of picking up illnesses or parasites. 

 

The petsitter will follow your instructions including ensuring that your animals are well fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays and bedding, and most importantly to ensure they receive lots of fuss and attention.  Clients are encouraged to keep in touch with the petsitter via phone or e-mail to check on the welfare of their pets, if they so desire.

 

The visiting service is suitable for all your small pets and typically includes cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, fish and many others.  The frequency of visits is determined by you.  For  dogs, my HOME SITTING  service may be more suitable.  homesitting.htm

 

HOME SECURITY

 

This service also acts as a crime deterrent by having someone to bring in the papers and post, put out rubbish/recycling, turn lights on and off and open and close curtains to give your home that lived in appearance.  Plants can also be watered if requested.  There is no extra charge for these additional services if completed during the agreed visit duration.

DOG VISITING SERVICE

 

The small pet visiting service may be appropriate for dogs in certain circumstances:

 

  •        Dogs who only require company or play and a toileting opportunity.
  •        Dogs who require home visits in addition to separate dog walk(s) within any one day.

 

Early morning and evening visits are available to enable dogs to be left overnight.

 

Owners should be confident that dogs will be happy to be left unaccompanied in their own homes for long periods if this service is requested.

 

CHARGES

 

Charges for dog visiting are the same as for small pet visits detailed above.
