Furry Feet is fully insured for public liability, care custody, control for animals in transit and key cover. Please also see the testimonials section for client feedback.
What happens if my pet becomes ill while in your care?
As part of the client agreement, we will always have a contact number for you and your pet’s vet and will alert you to any problems, however small. As a member of NARP, Furry Feet also has access to a 24/7 vet advice line for any medical emergencies if you or your vet is not contactable. In addition, I have successfully completed a Diploma in Professional Pet-sitting which covers animal first aid and behavioural studies.
How does the booking process work?
After your initial enquiry, Furry Feet will arrange to visit you in your home to meet you and your pet. A comprehensive questionnaire is filled in covering everything from your pet’s favourite toy to details of any medication they are currently taking. This visit is crucial to establishing a relationship between us, you and your pet. Once all parties are happy to proceed, a deposit is taken and the booking confirmed.
Will you walk my dog on or off the lead?
Once a relationship is formed between Furry Feet and your dog, walks can be taken off-lead if requested. However, this can only happen when your dog responds to basic voice commands and after a waiver has been signed.
Who provides the food for my pet while I’m away?
All food, bedding and supplies are to be provided by the client
Do your rates increase at any time of the year?
Yes, rates are higher over Christmas, New Year and Bank Holidays. Please get in touch for more details.
