Trusted small animal care across Glossop and the High Peak. We look after a wide range of much-loved pets while you’re away, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, tortoises and other small animals. Our visits can be tailored in length to suit your pet’s routine, from feeding and cleaning to gentle handling and enrichment. As fully insured, DBS-checked carers and genuine animal lovers, we provide calm, attentive care so you can travel knowing your pets are comfortable, safe and well looked after at home.
How we look after your pets during our visits
So here’s the most important part – what we do during the visits to ensure that your pet is loved, taken care of and has everything they need whilst you are away.
Feeding – all dietary requirements are carefully followed. We make sure we stick to their usual diets and ensure they are eating well.
Cleaning – bowls are washed every day and litter trays freshened daily and given a full clean regularly. For caged pets, cages are kept clean and tidy and will be given a full clean and disinfect during longer bookings.
Grooming – we can brush or comb your pets if required.
Companionship – lots of love and affection comes naturally to us. We love a snuggle with your pet if that’s what they want. We are also all very experienced at recognising when pets want their own space and prefer not to be touched. We also love to play with them if they enjoy games so do let us know where you keep their toys and we will have them happily chasing and pouncing!
Regular updates – we send you photos and emails to let you know how your pets are doing while you are away. We send one every day. Expect cute photos directly to your email to make you smile! If you don’t receive an update, it may just be technical issues, but do let me know and I can rectify the problem.
Extras: (included in every visit)
Put your bins out if you let us know when bin day is.
Picking up your post and putting it away tidily.
Watering plants.
How long our visits last and how much they cost
We can visit your pet once or twice a day (or more often if required, subject to staff availability) from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your choice and also your pet’s requirements.
20 minute visits £11.55
This is our basic service; giving us enough time to carry out all of the basic tasks, and then a short time to give your pet a fuss. We find this is an adequate amount of time to say ‘hello’ and check in with your pet. This is also an ideal choice if you have an independent pet that does not crave company.
30 minute visits £15.40
This is enough time to carry out the basics, plus ten minutes extra to fuss and give undivided attention to your pets.
40 minute visits £17.60
Double the length of a basic visit with lots more time for fuss and for your pet to get comfy on our knees for a luxury snuggle. We also find this a popular choice for clients wanting extra time to allow watering of outdoor plants in hot weather.
60 minute visits £21.45
A whole hour gives us lots and lots of quality time with your pets. We find it’s great for them to really get to know us and have special bonding time. This is popular with clients who have indoor pets who are used to a lot of company. This is also recommended if you have pets in cages that require a full clean of the cage midway through a longer booking.
Bank holiday weekends are charged at double the rate throughout.
Mileage charges apply to some areas outside Glossop.
