🌟 Customer Review Spotlight 🌟

We’re so grateful to Emily, Hugo’s mum, for this amazing feedback 💚

👉 “The whole process of pet care was seamless with Claire. When our regular pet sitting let us down at the last minute, Claire was quick to offer help. Professional and super friendly, Claire has great knowledge of dogs and placed our lab Hugo with the perfect couple for a two week stay. Her communication was exemplary beforehand and the online system of payment easy to use. We loved getting daily updates everyday whilst on holiday from Hugo’s sitters, as well as photos of his adventures. His walks were varied and fun. He was clearly happy in his environment and it totally put us at ease as he is an anxious rescue dog. I would definitely recommend AAH Mendip 100% and will be using Claire’s services in the future for sure!”

💬 Reviews like this remind us why we love what we do – making sure your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

🐾 Whether it’s boarding, sitting, walks, or transport – your pets are always in safe hands with Animals at Home Mendip.

🐇💛 Farewell, Sweet Lola 💛🐇

We were recently honoured to support the gentle farewell of Lola, a much-loved rabbit who meant the world to her family.

Rabbits are such sensitive, intelligent souls—and the bond they share with their people runs deep. Saying goodbye is never easy, but we were able to help ensure Lola’s final journey was peaceful, dignified, and handled with the care she deserved.

Through our small animal cremation service, we offer a calm, respectful process tailored to each pet and their family’s wishes. Whether it’s a rabbit, guinea pig, hamster or another small companion, they matter just as much. 🌈🐾

Rest gently, Lola. You were truly loved.
