Questions and answers

A few things people often ask. If your question is not here, just get in touch.

Do you stay overnight?

Yes, where it suits you. I can stay in your home so it is never left empty, or visit regularly through the day. We agree what works best for you and your pets.

What pets do you care for?

Mostly dogs and cats, and other gentle household pets. If you have something unusual, just ask and we can talk it through.

Can you water plants and collect mail?

Yes. Watering plants, bringing in post, and keeping the home looking lived in are all part of the service.

Do you send updates?

Absolutely. I am happy to send photos and short messages while you are away, as often or as little as you like.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can is best, especially around holidays. That said, please do ask about shorter notice, I will always try to help.

How are prices agreed?

Prices depend on your needs, the length of the stay, and the number of pets. We agree everything openly and clearly before your booking is confirmed.
