Pet Minding

Happy Customers...

"Being a professional coach and competition rider I need to be able to leave my property for a few days in the knowledge that the person left in charge of my own horses and often horses I have in for schooling is both reliable and competent. I have been in the Berry area for two years and was lucky enough to stumble on Annette. She has proven to be a very valuable asset to me. I can confidently leave her to feed, rug and unrug, put fly veils on and off and handle any situation that comes up. Annette sends text message's both morning and evenings to let me know all is well. I would be comfortable to recommend her for the task of both property and horse care."

Tibby Barbour, EFA NCAS Level 1 Equestrian Coach Berry

This service is provided in your home, where your pet feels the most comfortable. Your animals will be fed, with the food you provide and the time you nominate. Water and milk bowls are cleaned and refilled, yards are poopy scooped, kitty litter changed, kennels swept out, cages cleaned, rugging, unrugging and stable manure removed.

My visit provides lots of play, hugs, cuddles, fly veils on/off and back rubs. If you leave their grooming equipment, I can also do this, including cleaning out and dressing horses hoofs. If your animal is on any medication, this can be administered.

I also send you text photo, video or just a message telling you how everything is going at home. I carry my mobile phone at all times in case of an emergency. I clip my Canine Cardio I.D. tags on all dogs & cats.

I can also collect mail, turn on/off lights, take bins out, hose the garden, pot plants and lawns can be mown for a reasonable price, my husband is a qualified greenkeeper. If you are away for a while I can even start you car every few days to keep the battery charged.

As I say goodbye, I will give your pet a treat and a cuddle.
