Home Visits & Licensed Pet Transport
Our home visit (Quick Sit) service is designed to keep pets comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. We care for your dogs, cats, and other pets at home, maintaining their routines and offering companionship while you’re away. This reduces stress and ensures they stay relaxed, happy, and well looked after every day.
We also provide a fully licensed & insured pet transport service, covering local trips to the vet, & groomers, holiday drop-offs and National trips for cat, puppy & dog delivery, house moves, etc. Our UK government approved license, means you can be confident your pet is travelling safely and securely, whether it’s a short journey or national (up to 8 hours total travel time).
Moving house? Why not have you dog(s) stay with us for the time the furniture is being removed, and then we can deliver your dog(s) to your new house, where there is no chance of them escaping. It’s an all-in-one package, where we collect from your old address, keep them for the day(s) of the move, and then deliver them to the new address – perfect for a reduction in stress for a very stressful day!



Cage-Free Boarding
The only time your pet will be in a cage is when they are travelling in our vehicle, or at night if that is their norm. Otherwise, they will be allowed to roam throughout our house & garden, and are taken for regular walks in a secure field – so there’s no chance of meeting any other dogs.
They can run around off lead without the fear of them getting lost, even if they’re elderly, deaf or infirm (unless you specify you want them on lead at all times – we have long 5 or 10 m leads, so that they will always remain under our control). When your pet is crate-trained, however, we will maintain its behaviour by using crates when you would prefer us to do so. If you want to bring your crate, feel free to do so; they can have their own crate – or our large dog unit (a 2m x 1m crate, full of comfy beds) – available at all times if they like their own “den”.
