Recently, as pet professionals, we became aware of a local business advertising dog daycare, overnight stays, and pet boarding services from their home.

When researching the business, we were unable to find evidence of a boarding licence, insurance, or other essential requirements. We later discovered that the business was also unable to provide proof of basic professional requirements such as pet care insurance and other industry-standard credentials.

The vast majority of pet care professionals work extremely hard to meet legal requirements, maintain high welfare standards, and invest significant time and money into obtaining licences, insurance, training, and inspections. These regulations exist to protect both pets and owners.

If a person is providing daycare or boarding services from their own home and charging for those services, they require a licence from their local authority, depending on the services offered and local regulations. Reputable providers should be happy to discuss their qualifications and provide evidence of relevant licences, insurance, and training when requested.

Before booking any pet care service, consider asking for:

✔ Public Liability Insurance
✔ Pet Business Insurance
✔ DBS Check
✔ Pet First Aid Qualification
✔ Relevant Experience and References
✔ Boarding Licence (where legally required)

If you are unsure whether a provider is licensed, you can contact your local council or check their public licensing register.

The safety and welfare of our pets should always come first, and responsible businesses will welcome questions about their credentials.

This is just to make my clients aware that if I am fully booked, then please don't use this uninsured and unlicensed business.

I work alongside a team of lovely girls and always recommend:

Figgy Pudding was delighted to be reunited with her dog walker after enjoying a lovely holiday! 🐾

Today, she had the freedom to run and explore in a gorgeous field, making the most of the fresh air and open space. Safe to say she had an absolute blast, with plenty of zoomies and a very happy wagging tail! 💕

It's always wonderful to see our furry friends so excited and enjoying themselves. 🐶🌳☀️

🐾 It's that time of year again where I'm officially becoming the cat lady of Droitwich! 🐾

Summer is always my busiest season, and my diary is filling up fast with cat visits while owners are away enjoying their holidays.

Beautiful Amber has been enjoying plenty of playtime, fuss, and company during her visits. 🐱💕

I offer: 🐾 1 or 2 visits per day 🐾 Feeding, litter tray cleaning, and medication administration if required 🐾 Playtime, cuddles, and companionship 🐾 Overnight stays for cats who prefer extra company and routine

My summer availability is becoming limited, and I'm already taking bookings for 2027, so if you have holidays planned, it's worth getting your dates secured early! 📅

If you're looking for reliable, insured, and experienced care for your feline friends, please get in touch.

🐾 Mr Fluffy was in his element today, enjoying his favourite treats and plenty of scratches in all the right places! 🐱✨

He greeted me with his usual charm and was soon rolling around, purring away and making the most of the attention. Safe to say the treats went down a storm too! 💕

Such a lovely boy and always a pleasure to visit. 🐾

⚠️ Please make sure that if you are using someone to care for your dog in their home or business, they hold the correct licence, which can usually be checked on your local council’s website.

Recently, I contacted a few people advertising local pet boarding services and discovered they do not have the legal requirements in place to keep pets in their home and appear to be boarding animals illegally and not giving license numbers which any legitimate boarder would happily give and advertise online.

Licensing exists for a reason — to help ensure pets are being cared for safely, with the correct insurance, welfare standards and procedures in place.

Please do your checks before leaving your pets with anyone. 🐾

This weekend a heartbreaking incident saw a dog lose its life from heat stroke whilst in the care of an unlicensed home boarder. 💔

The boarder lied and said they were licensed 🤬🤬🤬

It’s a devastating reminder of why choosing a LICENSED home boarding service matters so much.

Licensed boarders are required to:
✔️ Have inspections carried out
✔️ Complete risk assessments
✔️ Meet animal welfare standards
✔️ Hold appropriate insurance
✔️ Follow safety procedures for weather, exercise, transport and emergencies

Sadly, when people operate without a licence, these checks often aren’t in place — leaving dogs at risk and owners with little protection if the worst happens.

Please, before leaving your beloved pets with anyone:
🐾 Ask to see their licence
🐾 Check insurance cover
🐾 Read reviews
🐾 Visit the premises first
🐾 Don’t be afraid to ask questions

❌❌❌❌❌Please be aware platforms like Rover, Pawshake etc are NOT licenced. ❌ ❌❌❌❌

Our dogs are family, and their safety should always come first. ❤️

Please SHARE to help raise awareness.

Cosmo enjoying his frozen Licki-Licks treat 🐾❄️

My boy is a proper farm cat and absolutely loves being outside, but during this heatwave he’s had to stay indoors through the hottest parts of the day to keep him safe.

We’ve been keeping him entertained and comfortable with frozen treats, air con and cooling mats instead 🩷🐱

☀️🐾 Heatwave Update 🐾☀️

Cool walkies will remain in place for the rest of the week due to the ongoing high temperatures.

For clients who are home, walks will be rearranged to early morning slots with a 6am start where possible. After 9am, bookings will be changed to home visits for clients who are at work.

This is the safest option whilst we continue to experience a heatwave, helping to protect dogs from heatstroke, dehydration and burnt paws.

Thank you all for your understanding and support whilst I prioritise the safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care 💕🐾

Mr Tibbs keeping cool with his cold licky licks.

Keeping this boy happy and inside. Even cats suffer from heatstroke and burnt paws.

All my acts are staying indoors today and having lots of treats and cool matts.
