Would you like your dog walked for 30 minutes or an hour?

We prefer to walk dogs on a one to one basis so they can have the full attention of the walker and even a little training and socialisation. More than one dog however can be walked from the same home (up to 3 dogs).

Our walks will be on a long lead across fields and countryside near the client’s home. Off lead walking will be under owner’s consent, when safe to do so. The walk will be varied to reduce boredom. Group walks will be considered at owners request for dog socialisation (up to 3 dogs). Of course the walker will make sure your lovely dog will be settled and tucked up at home safely before leaving...

Do you have an older dog who needs a little company while you’re at work or a puppy that can’t quite wait until you get home?

That’s what we are for.

We offer doggy care visits that includes feeding and medication, if required, along with house or garden play. Whether it's for a toilet break an cuddles or a fun play with mentally and physically stimulating games.

The visits can be either 30 or 60 minutes at a time to suit you and depending upon your specific requirements. We may be able to stay longer by request and depending on our availability.

Out for the day or away for a week and need someone to visit your little kitty at home?

A 30 minute visit includes feeding, medicating, playtime, litter box cleaning, grooming, and socialising. Happy to open/lock cat flaps as required.

Aardvarks to Zebras will move into your home while you are away, be it a work trip, wedding day or annual holiday.

This means the house will be more secure as it will prove a deterrent against domestic theft. All pets in your home will be cared for, causing your pets less stress than a boarding kennel/cattery. This service can also be considerably cost efficient if there is more than one pet in the home.

As well as caring for your pets this service also includes; Plant watering, putting the bins out and bringing in the post.

Do you often get home and realise that the cup of tea/coffee you crave will just have to wait as there is no milk in the fridge? For an additional cost just let Aardvarks to Zebras know before you go or even on your way home and there will be a few essentials waiting for your return.

Will your rabbits, guinea pigs or caged animals need a visit while you are away for a day or a week?

We offer 30 minute visits to check on the animal, make sure it is healthy, feed and medicate it, change its water and give it some socialisation in a run, garden or just with a cuddle.

Or if you need extra help we offer a 45 minute visit which allows time to clean up to 2 hutches/cages, feeding, medicating, and socialisation.

Aardvarks to Zebras will be more than happy to visit the property twice a day with an additional charge to check on pets and will even collect post, water plants, turn on/off lights and open/close curtains should the client request.

From April 2016 it became compulsory to get all dogs microchipped. For the security of your pet micro chipping is a wonderful technology that allows your pet to be registered to you, and therefore returned safely in the unfortunate event they run off or are taken.

As a qualified micro chipper Jo Newman will be more than happy to microchip your cat or dog in the comfort of their own home.

Aardvarks to Zebras know how difficult it is to juggle the day to day running of a home or work life so we are here to make it easier. The taxi will help with trips to the vets or moving house, grooming salons or other requirements. Just let us know if you would like a lift or for us to take your pet alone.

For those who have a small holding and feel it difficult to go away for a night or week, Aardvarks to Zebras will be more than happy to step in and look after your pets. The prices are based on 5 individual animals but please feel free to contact us if you have more and we can discuss requirements.

This service is animal dependent but will include feeding, medicating, pen cleaning, turning out or bringing in for the night.

Each new client will have a complimentary consultation when signing up for the service to allow pet carer and animal to get to know each other and to learn what the pet requires.

As an additional consultation Aardvarks to Zebras can give basic advice on:

Basic Behavioural & Training
Helping to medicate
Clipping nails and advice on general animal care/handling
Pet pairing (rabbits)
Settling a new/rescue pet in to your home
