What is involved when having your dog walked by Petnanny?

We are often asked what it involves.

We have two vans on the road, both fitted with made to measure pens. With a heater, ventilators and showers we ensure your dogs are comfortable and of course safe whilst in our care. The pens have a soft specially fitted rubber composite flooring and then bedding on top. We have a choice of part covered and part wired pens depending on the dogs preference, not only are the pens comfortable they also meet all requirements for safe, reponsible travel whilst on the road. We evolve to match our customers needs between us we find the best way to care for your dog.

We are supplied with keys to the majority of our customers houses and start doing pick ups first thing, we pick them up according to need and dogs preferences then once picked up we start walking. Dogs are chosen to go out with each other based on their temperaments and of course they like to go out with their friends...we have dogs who have been with us since 1998 and we even have second and third generation. Every single walk is chosen based on its suitability for the individual dogs. The dogs in the van have each other for company and the knowledge they are next for a walk. Any dogs who do not enjoy travelling out and about with us stay at home until we walk them at lunchtime. We are a flexible service so if you have a preference just ask.

Once all the dogs are walked, the walked dogs happily relaxing with their friends, we then feed any pups or dogs that require feeding and finish watering. Now its sleep time. Our dogs tend to prefer a snooze before being dropped off home. This is when we have our lunch usually whilst visiting house dogs for a break. Any dogs that need some house visiting training are taken into an approved house for this.

After a snooze we get them out for an afternoon tootle allowing them a wee after their drink. Pups and infirm dogs will go out as much as they require in between. This is the best time for a bit of one to one affection (we all enjoy that) as they aren't impatient for a walk and are feeling calm and relaxed.

Next is the drop offs, we love to see the dogs delighted to come out with us and relaxed when they go home. Once all locked up and goodbyes off we go to drop off the rest. We also have dogs who are dropped off with us first thing and picked up so we will field phonecalls to make arrangements if we are meeting up.

Vet visits, grooming appointments, dog food pick ups and all manner of other duties are fitted around.

All dogs are assessed and slowly introduced to our system, our dogs and of course US! We do this at their speed taking as long as is needed to make sure your dog is comfortable. If it takes time to acclimatise them with mixing, travelling and anything else we take the time it takes.

We aim to only take on a limited number of dogs, Sam and I are fulltime therefore can cover holidays with minimum of disruption. We often have a waiting list and will not take dogs on past our preferred limit. We can guarantee the highest standard of care, therefore still manage to walk all our dogs if there are any hold ups( this happens we are working with animals after all). In order to keep this high standard we are staying small and local. A business is only as good as its weakest member.

In Your Own Home ~

PET SITTING

Enjoy your break safe in the knowledge that your small pets are being 'spoilt' in a secure home environment and in their own homes with knowledgeable care. Time spent on, not only their physical needs but also company and attention.

Dog Sitting

Has the same benefits as for cats and small animals but because of the demand for our services we now only sit dogs who have regular Petnanny walks, we can however recommend other companies who will provide a superior service.

Petnanny Cat ~ Perfect Care

Cats may be more independant than dogs but they still need specialist care when you aren't around to provide for their needs

As masters of their territory and creatures of habit, a trip to the cattery can be traumatic for your pet cat

Strange smells,noises and environment can all create stress

Cats are, without doubt, better off staying in their own homes, eating familiar food in a familiar environment and sleeping in their normal spot ~ your bed maybe?! Petnanny will come and provide the love and attention you normally give ~ even her food will be out of the same dish.

Our customers are content in the knowledge that during their kitties life we are there to care for them when their owners aren't.

BLISS !

Petnanny ~ Small Animal Sitting

Small pets are without doubt, better off staying in their home, eating familiar food in a familiar cage,hutch or other home

Caroline has her own guinea pigs and has cared for all sorts from rats and rabbits to reptiles

"I have a great deal of experience with smaller animals and find their different needs and behaviours fascinating. I do all I can to make sure they're looked after according to their particular needs"
