Dog Boarding, Cat Sitting and Dog Walking Bromley

Hi and welcome to my blog. Here you get to see what I've been up to in November and best of all you get to see all the lovely pets I've been looking after. I didn't think November was going to be that busy but I was pleasantly surprised.

This sweetie is called Pinta and Pinta is a new member of the Purr-fect Kitty family. It was a confusing pet sit because Pinta was visited (this was allowed by the owners) by two other cats and they all looked very similar. The only way I could tell it was Pinta was by looking at the collar


The dog on the left is called Seymour. My daughter had left my card with one of her friend's mums in the summer and she gave me a call asking if I could come round to walk Seymour one evening while they were all out at a concert. She explained Seymour's sad history and I was all prepared to be walking a very slow dog up the road and back at a very leisurely pace. Much to my surprise Seymour walked so fast I could barely keep up with him - and I can walk very fast!

The dog on the right is Ben. Ben is new to the area and has a short walk midday Monday to Friday. Ben is another old dog and he has a bit of arthritis. Yet again I was surprised at how fast and how far Ben likes to walk. He definitely slows down on the way back to the house but I think that's more about going home than having stiff joints:)


This dog you will all recognise as Harley. I've been walking Harley since he was a pup. The day I took the picture was a very wet day and Harley came home soaked.

I was thrilled when Harley's owners booked an 'Away Day' for Harley. I picked Harley up at 9.30am and brought him home with me for the day. Harley enjoyed two walks and access to my large, rather overgrown, garden. Here he is exploring.

I was very pleased to receive a call from the owners of Bill and Hiltz, two very lucky cats in Greenwich. They get visits twice a day, so very privileged indeed.


Here's a picture of me and Bill snuggling up in the armchair.


and below you will see a picture of Hiltz. During the pet sit we had firework night but the cats weren't fazed at all, and there were lots going off.












These three cats all live together and all have very different personalities. Every day I was greeted by Roxanne. A very friendly cat, always first down the stairs when I arrived, but also very skittish when I stroked her. Roxanne is the one on the right. She was like a little bush baby with really big eyes. The one on the left is her brother Matthew. He wasn't always willing to come by for a stroke but he did on some of the days I was visiting them. The one in the middle is Charlie. A really lovely older cat. Charlie stayed very aloof during the pet sit until the second to last day when she suddenly became brave enough to let me stroke her and then she couldn't get enough. All very different, but all gorgeous:)


During November Buster came to stay with me a few times and on one of the days we went on an outing to Lower Halstow.

Buster had a lovely day, running around, in and out of the water and was very good when the tide went out not running in and out of the water or should I say mud. We could have potentially came home with a mud ball but he listened and seemed to know it wouldn't have been a good move:)



This is Colin and Chloe. I've just finished their pet sit. I've looked after them many times before and we are old friends. I was interested to see how Colin was getting on (he is the one on the coloured throw) because he is a very nervous cat and usually would have nothing to do with me. This time he has been put on 'prozac' for cats and he was much more relaxed than I've ever seen him. In fact I was quite shocked that on the last day of the pet sit he jumped up beside me and let me stroke him for ages. Why do nervous cats always do that on the last day of the pet sit :)


So we are now approaching the busiest time of year for a pet sitter - Christmas:) The next four weeks are going to be very busy for me and I'm looking forward to giving all the pets I visit on Christmas day a little Christmas treat and a big kiss.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and if you're like me and haven't even started your Christmas shopping yet - Good Luck!

Welcome to my blog.

Here's Lenny. I'm now walking Lenny off lead and with other dogs. He is such a good dog and loves his walks over Beckenham Place Park. He gets a good run around with the other dogs and depending on how long it takes to get around the park and how busy I am, he often gets an extended walk.


I was lucky to have Ziggy come to stay in October and we had a great day out while he was with us. I've been walking the Thames path, starting at the Cotswolds and ending at the Thames Barrier. Ziggy's visit coincided with one of the 14 mile walks. He enjoyed every minute of it and was the only one with energy at the end of it. He had to be whisked straight into the bath when we got back and you can see him lying on the blanket at the end of his bath, the tiredness finally catching up with him.



Here's a new addition to the Purr-fect Kitty family. His name is Louis and he's in the process of being house-trained. It's not very successful at the moment but Louis is absolutely adorable. His owner says he likes his walks but I havent seen much evidence of that yet. Time will tell:)




I was asked by another local pet sitter to look after her two lovely moggies while she went away on holiday in October. Here they are in the garden.









Bumble Bee and Gabby were totally different this time I pet sat them. They were so friendly. One of the rituals we had to go through was having a little drink from the tap. They were so funny, getting their ears wet and fighting over who was going to go first. Here they managed to get a drink together. Ah team work at last :)


These pictures are of friends pet's that I looked after during half term. The two gerbils belonged to my friend's son and I had to send him a picture while he was away because he was missing them so much.
The gorgeous dogs below are Cooper and Jen. I looked after them for my friend Sharon while she was away for 3 days in half term.
Here they are over the park playing their favourite game and at home being very good waiting for a treat.

























Here's two pictures of Plum. A lovely oldie. He really liked my visits and loved being stroked. I've put up the 2nd picture of him because i think it looks quite spooky and it was taken on Halloween wooooooo!














I haven't looked after these cats but these are my sisters two cats. They have been trained to walk on a lead and their names are Kiki and Za Za.
They really are adorable Norwegian Forest Cats and may soon have a modelling career so look out for them on adverts!










I had the pleasure of sitting the two kittens that live just down the road for a weekend in October. They are going out now but evidently hadn't mastered pushing the cat flap open as it was held open with a cookery book:) Fishy was oblivious to everything and looked just the same, unlike the kitts who had almost doubled in size.

Here they are eating their dinner. It was very hard to get a good photograph of them as they always moved just as the picture was being taken.









Here's two regulars Colin and Chloe.

They are both quite old and still a bit unsettled in their new home. Next time I pet sit we are going to arrange for them to go outside to the garden during the day. I think they will be
happier that way.








And last but not least another Purr-fect Kitty regular Chutney. She is a gorgeous lap cat and likes nothing better than getting on my lap and staying there for most of the 30 mins I am with her.

Check back every month to see the old and new pets in my care.

Looking at the weather for this month it looks like I'm going to be walking my dogs in the rain. So hey ho. Pet Sitting is not always as cushty as it seems :)
