My name is Karen, I started this business in 2017 after I found it difficult finding someone to look after my pets while my husband and I went away to get married. I was given my first Guinea Pig at the age of 4 and have never been without one or seven since! My love of reptiles started back in 2015 when I rescued a tiny Bearded Dragon called Enya, she was in a bad way when she came to live with us. With all the best will in the world and specialist vet care she unfortunately didn’t make it and passed away just a few months later. The experience of Enya made me realise just how specialist the care is for these little creatures and how much damage could be done in just a short space of time. We are currently home to eight piggies, Gordon and his herd of ladies Maggie, Hilda & Bessie, my old boys Reggie & Gerald and boys Wallace and Gromit. We have two gorgeous Bunnies called William & Catherine and also have a Rankins Dragon called Eva. In 2023 we added some hens to the family called Miriam, Vera & Doris and we have our wonderful rescue dogs called Breagh and Suzie. The dogs are very good around the animals and even supervise the hens when out free roaming but our accommodation is a dog free zone. I am DBS checked and also hold a certificate in pet first aid which I am required to retake every 3 years. My husband Steve helps out too if I am out on dog walks or on home visits as he works from home.
Thank you for visiting our site and we hope to hear from you soon.
