How it works — simple & flexible

No faff. We keep things relaxed and human: quick messages, quick decisions, and your routine written down so visits are steady and predictable.

1) Say hello

A quick WhatsApp is easiest. Tell us what you need and roughly when. If you’re not sure, just say so — we’ll help you figure out a sensible plan.

  • Areas: Saltaire & Shipley (nearby? message)
  • Windows: morning / midday / late afternoon
  • Fast replies, plain answers

2) Meet & greet

A short visit to say hi, note routines, see the setup, and check keys/access. If it feels right, we agree a trial visit or walk.

  • We keep it calm and unhurried
  • Keys tagged by code only (no address)
  • We confirm anything unclear before we start

3) Trial visit or walk

We do a single visit/walk to your written steps and send a short photo note. If the plan works, we set your regular slots or holiday schedule.

  • Steady pacing and simple updates
  • Owner-led adjustments after the trial
  • No pressure — we only continue if it’s a fit

4) Your routine, written down

You tell us exactly how you do things — we follow it. We keep a simple note of timing, amounts, cleaning steps, and any “do/don’t” rules so nothing is missed.

  • Photo note after each visit
  • Clear tweaks any time via WhatsApp
  • We leave things as we found them, clean and set

We customise to what you need

Tell us the job; we’ll follow your routine. A few real-world examples we’re happy to do:

  • Dog walk with towpath etiquette and steady pacing
  • Cat drop-in: feed, water, litter scoop, quick brush
  • Parrot/cockatiel: water/seed refresh, liner swap
  • Rabbits: hay top-up, pellets/greens, tidy hutch
  • Reptiles/snakes: feed/checks to your notes (no changes to husbandry)
  • Fish: feed to schedule, light checks as instructed
  • Medication visit (pills/drops) as provided by owner
  • Holiday cover with once/twice daily visits

If it’s not listed, just ask — if it’s sensible and safe, we’ll try to help.

Easy to contact

WhatsApp is quickest. Prefer email or a form? That’s fine too. We reply ASAP and keep messages short.

Easy to pay

Cash, bank transfer, or pay-in-4 options like Clearpay and Klarna.

No prices here — just message to see if we’re the right fit for what you need.

Keys, safety & simple policies

  • Keys tagged by code only (no address); stored securely
  • Off-lead only with written owner consent and a suitable spot
  • Weather plan: we adjust length/route for heat or ice
  • If plans change, just message — we keep it flexible

Full details: coming soon on Keys & security and Safety, insurance & DBS.

Friendly, local, not pushy

We’re nearby and happy to help. If it’s a fit, great. If not, no problem — we’ll still point you in a useful direction. Message to see if we’re right for what you need.
