We all want our pets to feel safe when we are away 💖

That is why we are committed to offering a 10 star service, to care for your pets in your own home when you are away.

I know what it feels like, to leave your companions: the worry, the what if.

Over the past few weeks pet sitting has been our most POPULAR service 👋

It's been an absolute pleasure looking after your four legged companions.

Pet sitting {with walks if needed} is a great way to keep your fur or feathered companions safe in their own home.

It's a very personalised service: day, night or day & night or the odd few hours.

Ideal if you are meeting friends 😊 and your best friend can't be left too long.

I absolutely LOVE the work I do, but it wouldn't be possible without you 💖

By supporting a local family run business your aren't just helping us but also the rescue work we do and to help more dogs.

We aren't your typical dog training business: in fact we don't like to see ourselves as a business. That's because our fur and feathered friends become our family.

Here's the late Juniper where I always say 'the two blondes' I miss you.

We love our feline friends here at Social Paws 🐾

Still taking some bookings for this winter: cat sitting and visits.

A great alternative for cats who are either anxious or want to be in familar settings.

I'm so grateful of the love and support we've received this past month 💖

It's been testing times with the hot weather and preparing for my assessment.

I'm still pinching myself and Tristan is so proud.

Plus we are now getting so many more enquiries not only for behavioural work but also pet sitting 🐶😺

This is because you recommend us, you help us reach more incredible Guardians.

Google has been a challenge at the moment, we've dropped a few places 😢 but since my assessment I seem to have had more enquiries as people Google Pet Behaviourist or Animal Behaviourist. This means the world to us.

Running a small business is tough.

But we pride ourselves on a personal approach and always want to have a face.

Thank you 😊

Helen & Tristan

Roll on the cooler weather: for many Pet Professionals we've lost so much income and work 💔

But the animal's welfare must always come first.

This has been the hottest Summer I've experienced at Social Paws. Sadly it meant that Tristan especially was unable to walk dogs 🐾

Some were changed for pop in visits, but as most Guardians were at home and many have training walks, we lost so much income.

Luckily I've been able to do extra cat visits: re introducing my pet sitting services. This is something I've missed doing so decided to bring back.

💖💖💖

We thank those who continue to support local businesses, perhaps swapping a walk for a visit or enrichment/training in house. If the weather continues to increase each year we'll need to take this further into account. Because the struggle has been real 😢

Thanks again for supporting us,
Helen & Tristan
