Over the past 20 years we have had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of animals. Most commonly cats and dogs, but also rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, tortoises, fish and chickens - to name just a few.
We aim to be as flexible as possible to ensure your pets daily routines are maintained. A typical visit will include feeding, cleaning litter trays and of course some fuss and attention! If needed, we have plenty of experience administering medication and should any emergency arise, we can taxi your pet to a vetinary clinic for specialist treatment.
