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!
