Paws & Relax Pet Services - PARPS

Paws & Relax Pet Services - PARPS The NEW Paws & Relax Pet Services Page! PARPS is based in Hollybush, just outside Ayr. We offer pet services tailored for all.

Please contact for further details or head over to our website for a full list of services and price list. Paws and Relax Pet Services - PARPS is made up of myself, Amanda and my husband, David. We are already an established small pet services business, covering Ayr and the surrounding areas. I actually have a background in land and sea surveying and David's background was in HM forces, which he s

erved in for 22 years. During his service he spent time serving as an attack dog handler and also as an Infantry Medic. He is currently a remote paramedic in the Oil & Gas industry. Both lifestyles were found to be a little bit fast paced and quite disruptive to our home lives. Therefore, we decided to chase our ultimate dream of building a small business offering a pet service, caring for dogs, cats and other small animals. We are the very proud owners of 2 dogs and 5 cats which in itself can be a handful. However, we wouldn't want our home any other way! Feel free to go to our family page to find out more about them. Both my husband and I were brought up with lots of different pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigeons/exotic birds and even a Shetland Pony named Nugget. As you can see, various types of pets surrounding us from childhood right up until when we left home. My own dad regularly took in rescued dogs and gave them a home. With this in mind, we both understand how necessary and important it is to make sure that your pet is integrated, with the correct training and socialisation, into the household with fully open arms, whilst also making sure that they themselves know how welcome they are in the home. Our Dream...

Building Paws and Relax Pet Services is based on the knowledge, that there are animal lovers out there that can't always get home to walk their dog at lunchtime and/or require somebody friendly and reliable, who can cover daily requirements for cats and small animals whilst away on holiday. Or someone who ultimately wants to know how to train their dog to show a wanted behaviour when the owner asks for it. Do you want to know why we know all of this? Because we, as a couple, have been there and needed those services when they haven't always been available...

Well it goes without saying that this week has been a little bit different to my usual week @ PARPS 😳😳

For all of those unaware, Aunty Amanda was in hospital Wednesday and Thursday (pre-arranged) 😞😞 unfortunately, I have had to have a procedure done to try and get to the bottom of an injury I have occurred 🙄🙄

With all of this in mind, I need to have a recovery period so unfortunately there will be no PARPS next week 😳😳😢😢😭😭😱😱 all of those affected, have been notified by private message.

Apologies for the somewhat lesser amount of photos of doggies 😞😞 Uncle Dave is making a guest appearance today and I was out on Monday and Tuesday so the doggies still had plenty fun 🤣🤣🥳🥳 just a little bit less of it this week due to the closure 🥰🥰

That’s a wrap guys, time for Aunty Amanda to get in some recovery so that she can come back all sparks firing 🥰🥰

Lots of Love

What a week! 😳😳 we have had quite the range of animal care going on 🤣🥰 but it was nice to see those familiar faces again 🥰🥰 Although I do think Ruby has been a little bit too relaxed 😂🎉😳

Onwards and upwards, we go into another working weekend 🥳🥳 with some families coming home from their holidays, others just starting out! 🎉🎉 only slightly jealous 🤣🤣

Walks have been a mix of off-road adventures 🤣🥴😳 and being the goofballs we love to be 🥰🥳🎉 (it’s not just the doggies that have fun 🤣🤣) hopefully some tired, content puppers as always 🥰🥰

Enjoy the photos guys! Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all next week!

Lots of love

And just like that… it’s another weekend 🥰🥰

Not going to lie, that was an emotional week 🤣🤣 the weather didn’t know what to do with itself and the forecasts weren’t much better 🙄🙄 at least the clegs, midges and generally annoying flies had fun 🤬🤬

As you may have noticed, Aunty Amanda has been running around like a blue a***d 🐝 🤣🤣 don’t take insult if I don’t hang around for a quick chat, every minute counts in the diary right now 🤪🤪 gotta make sure doggies are exercised, kitties are fed and puppers are trained! 👀👀

Final words for the week… there are still a few postponed training sessions 🥴🥴 this is only due to the nature of them and the wee injury I am currently having treated! I haven’t forgotten about you 👍👍 🥰🥰

Have a safe one guys 🥳🥳

Lots of Love

Holy Cow 🐄 🐄 It’s only blooming Friday again 😦😦 Honestly, we do sometimes wonder where the time actually goes ⏰ ⏰ What exactly is time 🤔🤔

Anyway, philosophy aside (leave that for the more intelligent beings out there) 😉😉

After a week of fairytales and war stories 😂😂🐾🐾 this week the demands of the PARPS Pack came to the fore 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ “walk faster”, “throw that ball”, “walk slower”, “I wanna sit here”, “Aunty Amanda, I need more attention”, “oh, you!! Stop giving attention to him, chase me!!”…… and so I could continue 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂🐾🐾 It’s must look outrageous to the passer by, even more outrageous is our conversations with them 😉😉🤭🤭 If the Pack aren’t tired this week, we certainly are 🥵🥵🥴🥴🥱🥱

😺😺 Armoured Suit ✔️ steel toe caps ✔️ Scratch resistant gloves ✔️ That’s right, the adorable and protective one is back 😹😹 Tiptoes aplenty as we welcome back the Sexy Socks for a wee while 😻😻 and in doing so, we finish two other Catsits 😿😿 Never a dull moment with anyone of these adorable and affectionate fur babies currently receiving our attention 😹😻😸🥰

Finally 1-2-1 Training is still going strong, where possible, due to some debilitating injuries right now 🤕🤕😢😢 But like a trooper, Aunty Amanda soldiers on where it’s possible, so as to not disrupt the advances every client is currently making. So this week we applaud you all 👏👏 and appreciate the understanding ❤️❤️ One thing we guarantee, Aunty Amanda is no 🤠🤠

Now, away with you all 🤣🤣 Enjoy the photos and your weekends ❤️❤️🐾🐾

Lots of Love

💥💥 It’s true, it’s that time of week again 🤔🤔 That’s right, it’s Friiiiiiiday 🐾🐾🥰🥰

A week that has seen a lot happen, previously untold furry stories shared amongst the PARPS Pack whilst out on walks 🐾🐾🤥🤥 War stories 😳😳 the odd (very odd) fairy tale 😘😘 and even a love story 🥰🥰 Yes, it’s true, your furr babies talk some rubbish at times 🐾🐾🤣🤣 Fear not, this last week hasn’t been spent around a camp fire, not at all 👍👍 The usual carnage still ensued 🥴🥴🫩🫩🐾🐾 in a controlled manner of course 😝😝

Cats sits still aplenty and many a kitty to smother with love 😻😻 Actually that might be there other way round, as we have been blessed with some amazing cuddles 😺😺😻😻

Our famous 1-2-1 Training is really filling the diary now ❤️❤️🐾🐾 Lots of new clients to meet and some outrageously cute puppies, utterly overloaded with seemingly boundless energy 🥵🥵 But the same results always follow 🤓🤓🐾🐾 Happy owners and contented pups 🐶 🐾

Apologies are due this week, due to a wee injury one of us currently has 🤕🤕🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ If you know, you know…..Apologies

Finally, this week we dedicate our post to a very special friend whose love, humour and sarcasm will be sorely missed 💛💛 Never Forgotten dear friend 💛💛 We have the ink and artwork to remind us 💛💛

That’s all from us guys, time to do a lot of life admin and to keep a fair few little ones happy over the weekend 🐈‍⬛🐈😻😻

Lots of Love

And just like that! 🎉🎉 It’s Friiiiiiday 🐾🐾❤️❤️

And so another week of fun and frolics for the PARPS Pack draws to a close 🥵🥵 A week that has seen plenty of adventures, plenty of mischief, gently covered with a sprinkling of occasional cheek 😳😳🐾🐾 What happens on PARPS Pack walks……stays on the walks!! 🤫🤫🐾🐾

It has also been a packed week with our 1-2-1 Training 🥵🥵 A few screwballs 🐾🐾 to keep Aunty Amanda on her little toes 🤣🤣 But excellent progress by all involved, despite the humidity and heat 👏👏 Well done everybody 🐾🐾❤️❤️

To round the week off, We welcomed back a few special kitties 😺😺😻😻 goofballs in their own rights 😹😹

Also this week, one of our own special Kitties celebrated his 3rd Birthday on Thursday ❤️❤️ Happy Birthday Charlie boy ❤️❤️ x x

Time now to recharge like a Duracell bunny, ready to go again on Monday 🥰🥰

Have a lovely weekend everybody.

Lots of Love

Thunderstorms and flash floods aside 😳😳 PARPS has been working full steam ahead this week 🎉🎉 and there is no let up in the coming weeks 🤪🤪

As we slowly creep into summer holiday season 🤔🤔 we are finding the PARPS diary to be somewhat busier 😳😳 not that I am complaining 🤣🤣 however, this means I am not able to answer enquiries quite so fast 🤪🤪 please hold tight, I will get back to you 🥰🥰

For this week, it has been the usual carnage of walks and being chased by flies 🤢🤢 lovely cuddles with Cleo and Finn 💕💕 and some seriously strong pullers on leashes 😳😳 needless to say, I am looking forward to the rest over the weekend 🤣🤣

‼️Just an FYI before I go… we have had a lot of enquiries into dog boarding for this summer. Please note, we do not provide any form of service that boards a dog 👍

Enjoy the weekend!

Lots of love

**Important date for your diaries**

Well hello Friday 🥴🥴 Yup, PARPS is back 🐾🐾 Holidays already seem a distant memory 😞😞☀️☀️ Body battery levels were recharged, but clearly we are no Duracell bunnies 🤔🤔🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The first week back has been a mixed and hectic bag to say the least 🙄🙄 our hearts pulled in every direction 😳😳 with every emotion…..both good and bad 🌧️☀️🌧️🌤️ and also upsetting 😞😞 can I just say though, the midges!!! 🤬🤬

It’s been amazing to reunite with some crazy doggies and handsome kitties ❤️❤️🐾🐾😻😻 Great to see the craziness again from the PARPS Pack 😂😂🐾🐾 I’ve switched my hands back from holding cocktails 🍹 and a good book 📖 to wrangling dog leads 🤣🤣

However, we also lost an amazing friend and human being this week 💔💔 as Mr Wolf’s Daddy passed away midweek 😞😞🐾🐾 James was one of the originals of PARPS and will sadly be missed. Wolfie got extra cuddles today 🥰🥰



So, into the weekend we now go, a few kitties to hand out cuddles too 😻😻 and to share a few woes with 😿😿

Lots of love

PARPS Warm weather checklist… 🤣🤣

Auntie Amanda acting as a camel carrying water 🤣🤣 ✅
Leading up dogs who run rather than walk 💨💨 ✅
All walks done before lunch ✅
Dog training rescheduled to cooler hours of the day ✅
Shady spots with wind are the way forward ✅
A/C on permanently in the van 🥶🥶 ✅

In all seriousness, it’s PARPS as you would expect 🥰🥰 always putting your babies and their health first 💕💕 Yes we have still managed to have lots of fun but for obvious reasons, at a calmer rate 🤪🤪

As we draw to a close, this is a reminder that after this post, we will be shut until Monday 2nd June 2025 🎉🎉 all messages, calls and emails will be responded to as soon as possible on that date 👍👍 All invoices will be on hold until the 2nd as well. 😀😀

That’s all folks! 🥰🥰

And so we find ourselves drawing to the end of another bumper packed week at PARPS HQ 🥳🥳🎉🎉🥰🥰

Auntie Amanda has truly been rushed off of her little feet this week 🤣🤣 many a catsit, many a stunning cat 😺… many a dog walk, many a cheeky dog 🐕… many a training session, many a pup pushing every boundary known to mankind 🐶 … 🤣🤣 I think you get the jist 😜😜😉😉

As much as I love each and every one of your babies 🥰🥰 I am very nearly ready to go on holiday 🤣🤣🎉🎉 so just a gentle reminder that we will close up for 2 weeks as of next Friday after walks are done 🥳🥳

Enjoy the photos guys 🤣🥰 there’s been some interesting ones this week 🤣🤣

Lots of love,

How to describe this week in a word per day… t’shirt, t’shirt, t’shirt, thermal, jacket 🤣🤣 sums it up fairly well 🎉🎉

Goes without saying that this week, we have had to dip in and out of the shade. 😳😳 Auntie Amanda has been like a pack horse carrying water as well 🤣🤣 can’t have your babies going thirsty… and playing with your mates is indeed thirsty work 🤣🤣

Again, another busy week here with PARPS running mostly at full capacity 🥵🥵 apologies for any delays on responses 😳😳 but it does make the week fly in 🤣🤣

So, into the May Bank Holiday we go 🎉🎉 if you have it off… lucky you! Enjoy 🥳🥳 have a wonderful weekend guys 🥰🥰

Lots of Love
