Friends of Pets services
We offer different pet sitting services tailored to your pet's needs
Dog walking
Dog walks are a fantastic way for your dog to enjoy the outdoors, stay healthy, and burn off energy while you’re away.
​
We offer both individual walk sessions and pals walks, where your dog can join a small group of 2 to 3 compatible dogs for added socialisation and fun.
​
Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy levels, preferences, and specific needs, with the option to choose shorter or longer sessions. During our walks, we ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and can also work on commands and lead training if desired.
​
For dogs who love to explore off-leash, we provide supervised time in safe, open environments where they can run and play freely while staying secure.
We limit group walks to small, carefully matched groups or dogs to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve.
Drop-in visits
Our drop-in visits provide the perfect solution for cats, dogs, puppies, and small pets that need care while you're away—whether for a few days or just during the workday.
​
Cats – Cats are territorial and feel safest in their own home. During our visits, we provide fresh water, food, litter maintenance, and plenty of cuddles (if they like them!) to keep them happy and stress-free.
​
Dogs & Puppies – Our visits ensure your dogs receive the company and care they need, including toilet breaks, feeding, playtime, and medication administration if required.
Small Pets – We tailor each visit to match their routine, ensuring they receive proper feeding, cage or habitat maintenance, and gentle care in a familiar environment.
​
No matter the pet, you can trust that your furry or feathered friends are in good hands, receiving personalised, attentive care until you return.
Pet sitting
Pet sitting is the perfect solution for pet owners who want their pets to receive dedicated, full-time care in their own home while they’re away.
​
Whether you have cats, dogs, or small pets, we provide personalised attention, feeding, exercise, and companionship to keep them happy and comfortable throughout the day.
​
Pet sitting offers the same high standard of care as our drop-in visits but for extended hours, ensuring your pets receive ongoing supervision, affection, and routine care while you're away.
​
With pet sitting, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving the love and attention they deserve in the safety and familiarity of their home.
Pet-taxi
We offer safe and reliable transportation for your pets to and from vet or grooming appointments, or any destination you may need within our service area.
​
We only transport pets by car, securing dogs with appropriate seatbelts to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the journey. Small pets and cats will be securely transported in their carriers.
​
With flexible scheduling, regular updates, and a caring handler by your pet's side, you can trust that your pets will travel with ease and comfort.
Pet portraits
Enhance your booking with our Pet Portraits Add-On and capture beautiful memories of your pets!
During one of our visits or walks, we’ll handle photographing your pet in a natural and relaxed setting. There’s no need for expensive photoshoots—our portraits are simple, stunning, and designed to reflect your pet’s unique charm.
