Bromley Pet Sitter/Dog Walker/Dog Boarder

This is little Murphy who is a new doggy day care client. He loves playing with the other dogs here and goes home happy and tired.

This is Pip, another new doggy day care client.  She comes on a different day to Murphy and prefers to be on her own here.  She is a little possessive with toys so I have to make sure there are no toys on the floor as that could result in a bit of growling towards any other dogs here.

This is Phil.  I've looked after Phil once before. Phil's tea - 7 or 8 prawns on top of his dry food :) 

Jasper and Tilly are boarding here at the moment.  They have just said goodbye to Buckley a little Parsons Terrier who stayed overnight.  They are staying until Bank Holiday Monday and will have the pleasure of meeting another two doggy clients who are arriving that morning.

Look who's just arrived.  Cooper senses when it is going to thunder and lo and behold he appears in my garden from 3 gardens down, crashing through the fences and leaving a nice big hole :(
A quick phone call to his owner and he is collected and taken home.

Beware of imposters, I really am the dog boarder your dog would choose :)

I have just found a really interesting product which may solve the problem of dead patches on my grass from all the dog pee.  The first pee of the day is usually the strongest so I am going to buy a few of these pee posts and put them around the garden where I want the dogs to pee.  I will give you my opinion after the next dog board.

Has anyone else tried this?

Jasper

When is it ever going to stop raining!  I'm sitting here looking out of the window into the garden with three dogs at my feet, all waiting to go out for a walk.  Luckily we went out this morning but I would like to take them out again this afternoon.

Barry

Tilly

At the moment I have three dogs boarding in the house and my daughter is looking after Daphne and Barry at their home.  Tilly and Jasper, two retrievers are here and also Bear.  Bear is going home tonight and the retrievers are going home on Sunday.

Roll on next week, when Lobo returns from holiday and Ruby, a lovely German Pointer is booked for a few day cares.

Lets hope the sun returns with Lobo next week :)

Have a good weekend

Beautiful day dog walking and cat sitting in Bromley

What a glorious day!

I've just finished my dog walks and am waiting for Buster's owner to come and pick him up.  Buster has stayed for the day today and is back again on Friday.  I made sure the dogs kept to the shade today and had plenty of playtime in the river that runs through Beckenham Place Park.

Here's a few pictures of some of the pets I have been looking after recently.  That's me holding Barry, a very old dog that comes to stay with his younger companion Daphne and I will be seeing him again very soon as they are both booked in for the day this Friday.

Above the picture of Barry is another oldie.  Her name is Chloe and I have been looking after her for about 4 years now.  She is very sweet and loves a cuddle.

The two spaniels below are Skye and Freddie.  I walk them every other week.  They love their walks and scoot off as soon as we arrive at the park, only to return to check on my whereabouts and then they are off again!

This is Suzie and Buster.  Suzie the pug has really grown in confidence since she started walking with the other dogs.  Here she is playing with Buster, a little dog I look after two days a week at home.

And I couldn't resist taking a picture of these flowers in Beckenham Place Park today.  The colour shone in the sunshine and announced the arrival of summer at last :)

Come back soon

Dog walking and Cat Sitting Today

Just finished my dog walks and only have one cat sit this evening so I'm now at home contemplating the cleaning.  I always treat myself and the family (they have to help) to a Chinese takeaway when we've cleaned the house, so it's a good incentive and a great way to start the week.

Just received a book I ordered from Amazon call 'Fab Abs in 6 weeks', so in 6 weeks time expect to see a very trim pet sitter arriving to collect your pets :)

Better get off and start rallying the troops.

Come back soon

Lovely weather for dog walking at the moment and I think because of the lovely weather everyone is thinking about getting away for Easter.

This Easter my house is going to be dog central and my busiest day is Saturday.  I will be looking after a labradoodle, a pug, a little terrier and a terrier mix.  Things will be busy, busy, busy this weekend but we are still planning a family day on Sunday with people coming over for a big Sunday lunch.  They are all looking forward to seeing the dogs I have staying and coming out for  a midday dog walk in Beckenham Place Park.

Im busy with cats too at the moment and Im enjoying my morning visits before starting the midday dog walks.

Give me a call or email if you would like to enquire about cat sitting, dog walking or dog boarding or visit my website www.purr-fectkitty.co.uk for more information.

Happy Easter :)

I've just noticed I've got two followers YAY!  Hi David and Anya, Little Glasses is my daughter Anya :).  It's only taken three years of posting on this blog :(  I don't mind, I enjoy my job and I enjoy writing about it :).
This is how my week went and will give you an idea of what I get up to.

Chloe

Monday

Starts with an early morning walk with Suzie, a little pug.  John takes her out on her 2 hour walk and I join him after an hour with whoever is boarding with me.  Today it was a standard poodle called Chloe.

Marley

Paid a visit to a neighbours cat, Gibson who has to be fed and then is usually let out for the day and let back in in the evening.  It's so cold at the moment I usually let him back in after a few hours.  Had to visit Lily between 10 and 10.30am to give her an insulin injection and some cuddles and then it was off  to collect the lunchtime dogs, Lobo, Marley and Poppy and Paolo.  Today instead of John, my daughter joined me on the walk. Chloe came along too and we had a nice walk in the sunshine.

The day finished with an evening visit to Lily and another insulin injection, more cuddles and brushing and a couple of visits to Gibson to let him out and back in again for the night.

Skye and Freddy have a habit of barking  very loudly at me If I stop to chat to anyone

Tuesday

Buster came for the day today.  He is a little dog but very dominant. I went over the road to let Gibson out and then  I paid a visit to Lily.  At 11am I came back to walk Buster, Lobo and Marley while John walked Poppy and Paolo and Skye and Freddy.  We met up in the woods and had a warm by a bonfire which someone has been keeping alight.  Very cold day but sunny, so pleasant to walk the dogs.  Usual evening visits to Lily and Gibson.  Last visit to Gibson so made sure the place was spic and span for my neighbours return.

Lily

Wednesday

John walked Suzie for two hours and I joined him for an hour with Jasper, a lovely 1 yr old spaniel.
Managed a slice of toast before it was off to visit Lily.  Fed her and tried to warm the flat up by putting on an extra heater.  Gave her a brush and cuddle and it was off to pick up Lobo and Skye and Freddy while John picked up Marley and Poppy and Paolo.  Lovely walk although bitterley cold.

In the evening I had a consultation with a lady who wants me to walk her little puppy, Oscar.  He is 4 months old and a cross labrador, collie.  Luckily we got on like a house on fire and I start walking Oscar from next week.  He will join one of the lunchtime walks, first on lead and then he will be walked off lead.  John visited Lily in the evening and I had a rare night off.

Thursday

Suzie and Jasper

Buster arrived about 8am and I took him for a walk before going off to meet a new client who is interested in my cat sitting service.  She happily booked my services and I will me starting the cat sit in a few weeks time, visiting her two lovely cats.  Scooted over to Lily to administer the insulin inject and then it was off to pick up Lobo.  Thursday is a quiet day for dog walking , so I had time to meet a friend for lunch.  I took Buster with me on the walk with Lobo and then took him to the pub, a dog friendly pub in Beckenham called the Jolly Woodman.  Finished the day with an evening visit to Lily.

 

Friday

First job - pick up Suzie and Jasper for an hours walk.  Buster was with me today as well.  After that I went over to see Lily and then picked up Marley, Lobo and Buster for a walk in Beckenham Place Park.  I was joined by my nephew today, so the dogs got extra time while we chatted and caught up with each other.

Lunar

Stella

In the evening it was off to visit Lily and then off to see Stella and Lunar, two lovely black cats who love playing with feathers on a stick.

Saturday

John made the last visit to Lily and left the place clean and tidy for her owner's return. He then went off to visit Stella and Lunar.

Promise of snow tonight and luckily I only had morning jobs and the night off.   I had a consultation with a lovely labradoodle this morning who is coming to board in April if all goes well with his trial visit in two weeks.  He is a lovely shaggy brown colour and Im really looking forward to the trial day with him.  His name is Berkeley and I will post a picture up of him on facebook for you all to see.

I hope you have enjoyed hearing about the pets I have looked after this week and if you are considering a pet sitter to look after your pets, I hope you call so that we can meet in person and have a chat.

Bye Bye and keep warm :)

Bromley Pet Sitter/Dog Walker - Purr-fect Kitty - wishes you all a Happy New Year 2012

Whether you are looking at this blog because you are searching for a pet minder or you are a client already, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm just back from a very cold one hour dog walk in Beckenham Place Park with Marley, Skye and Freddy, three dogs I have been looking after for a long time now.  All three dogs like to do their own thing.  Marley at least stays quite close to me, while Skye and Freddy shoot off and just check back with me every now and again.  We keep to the same route so that no one gets lost :)

Bear

I don't have many cats at the moment as everyone is back from their Christmas breaks.  I am looking after a lovely (almost feral) cat called Charley and two beautiful Guinea Pigs called Sonia and Tonia who make loads of noise as I approach the summer house they are housed in.  They are the last of the Christmas pet sits and my last visit to them is on Friday this week.  I also have a lovely little dog staying until Friday called Bear and he is just like a cuddly teddy bear :)  I am then off on a well earned break to Cornwall for a few days:)


If you are looking for a dog walker or a cat sitter please visit my website www.purr-fectkitty.co.uk or call me on 07931 960838 and we can have a chat.  I look forward to hearing from you.

For cat sitting I cover Beckenham, Penge, Beckenham, Catford,  Sydenham, Bromley, Chislehurst, Lee. Shortlands, West Wickham and Grove Park

For Dog walking I try to stay more local - Bromley, Shortlands, Beckenham and Penge (please call if you are outside these areas as I may still be able to dog walk for you).  I am happy to do ad hoc dog walks as well as regular dog walks.

I also offer a dog boarding service.

I look after other pets too :)
