Feeding, Playtime, and Companionship While You’re Away – Quick Sits
Leaving pets at home doesn’t mean they have to miss out on care and affection. Our Quick Sit service ensures dogs, cats, and other small animals receive the essentials, from fresh food and water to clean bedding and tidy living spaces. Just as importantly, we provide the companionship and reassurance pets crave when their owners are absent. Playtime and interaction are part of every Quick Sit, helping pets stay stimulated and happy.
Whether it’s a gentle cuddle, a game of fetch, or simply sitting with a shy cat, we adapt our approach to each animal’s personality, keeping them comfortable and content until you return. You tell us what you would like to happen, and we will ensure that it does.

We can visit dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents, etc. For Quick Sits, there is no limit on the size of the dog – as they’ve been mentioned before as not being able to come to us, we’ll mention them here; full grown Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Sheppard’s, even Rottweilers, Weimaraner’s – they’d all be able to come under our “Quick Sit” service. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s needs, from feeding and cleaning to companionship and playtime. Our flexible Quick Sit service ensures all pets receive care in the comfort of their own home.
A standard visit lasts up to an hour, depending on the animal and its needs. This gives us time to feed, tidy, and spend quality time with your pet. Longer visits may be available on request if your pet requires extra attention or companionship.

We can administer oral tablets, suppositories, injections (eg Insulin injections for diabetic pets) – we’ve even had to give a dog treatment with a nebuliser multiple times during the day. Clear instructions from owners are always followed carefully to ensure medication is given safely, helping you feel reassured while you are away.
