Merry Pop-ins

Cattery costs can really spiral when you have a multi-cat household. 🐾

Also, let’s be honest—not every cat is a "happy camper" away from home. One of our own (Stanley) absolutely hates being in a cattery! If your feline friends prefer their own sofa to a stay-away, why not give Merry Pop-ins a shout?

We don’t charge extra for multiple cats. One call-out covers ALL the animals in your home. Simple, stress-free, and much easier on the wallet.

If you want more information call Kate on 07764742813 or drop her a DM.

Look out for our flyers at local shops, vets, garages etc. across North Antrim (hopefully not in the bins).

We're not just popping in, we're bringing a burst of fun to your pet's day when you can't be there! 🎉

At Merry Pop-ins, we tailor our visits to keep your furry friends entertained and loved during those longer days. We'll pop in, keep them company, feed them, clean up after them, let them out to do their business, play with them, cuddle them and do whatever we can to make sure they have a brilliant day (almost as brilliant as yours! 😉).

🌟 Meet Kate – The Heart Behind Merry Pop-ins: Pet Nanny! 🐾

Hi, I’m Kate, an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets when life takes you away for the day.

The idea for Merry Pop-ins came from my own experience. Having an elderly dog, I often struggled to find someone to pop in and care for her when I needed to be away. Kennels were too stressful for her, and I wished for a simple, caring solution – so I decided to create one!

My service is perfect for:
🐕 Elderly dogs who need gentle company
🐶 Puppies who need playtime to tire them out

A little about me:
✨ I worked as a nurse before moving to Derrykeighan with my husband and children.
✨ I am level 2 certified in canine first aid, fully insured, and Access NI checked and verified.
✨ I am friendly, honest, and reliable, and I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own.

When I visit your pet, I’ll ensure they are fed, watered, and get plenty of attention while you’re away. No photos will ever be shared on social media (I value your privacy), but I’m happy to send you update photos if you’d like peace of mind while you’re out.

🐾 Let me take the stress out of your day – because your pets deserve the very best care.
