Not sure how many people I’ve told or who has noticed but I have been a little bit upset this week. It’s the first week without Molly and I haven’t really been sure how I should feel. Molly was my newest walking dog and I only had a year with her. I always knew I wouldn’t have long with her but it’s always shorter than you think. Molly was a really special dog, she radiated happiness and seeing that tail completely still in her last few days absolutely broke my heart. I’m so glad I was kept in the loop with her and knew what was coming but even with preparation it is still so hard to know a beloved companions life is coming to an end.

I just want to say thank you to Mollys family. Thank you for the gifts. Thank you for choosing me to walk her. And Thank you for letting me just come and sit with her as her time drew closer, I’ll always treasure the memories I have with her. On her second to last day she shied away from me, something she had never really done before but as soon as she saw a packet of chicken bites for us to share her eyes lit up (for the last time I would ever see) and we scoffed the lot 🤣 don’t think she really wanted to share, she would have eaten every last one herself. That was just Molly, she was always so happy but if you had food she was even happier.

Please know I love all your dogs so much, my life is so much better with them in it and I thank you so much for choosing me to care for your precious pets. But let’s be honest, they’re more than just pets and they have a lasting impact on more hearts than you imagine.

Lots of love,
Jess and Efa xx

Hi everyone,

Just confirming the 2025 diary is now officially closed and I won’t be taking anymore bookings!

2026 is open but I’m not taking bookings for June/ July as my holidays aren’t confirmed (if I’ve already booked you in, don’t worry that will go ahead). So far my 2026 holidays are 7th-10th May and 2nd-8th November. I’ll update with another post once all my holidays are confirmed.

And finally, I appreciate everyone’s recommendations but please remember I’m not currently taking on new customers and there is a (closed) waitlist for daycare.

Thank you,
Jess and Efa ❤️

Hello all,

Just letting you all know I’m planning on closing my 2025 diary on Monday.
2026 is available to book now! Please be aware that I fill up fast and as much as I hate saying no I am a small business and I do have numbers to stick to.

Thank you,
Jess and Efa ❤️

A fun one yesterday, the van has been written off.

I’m currently waiting to hear about a hire van but right now I have no transportation. We will see what unfolds 🙈

I’m so very sorry if I cancel on you or have to make alternative arrangements.

Thank you,
Jess

Just a reminder that I am on holiday next week, 5th-11th May

My other holidays for the year are 3rd- 9th November and 22nd December 2025 - 4th January 2026

I also want to add that I have extremely limited availability left for this year so it’s likely I will be closing my 2025 diary at the start of June and looking at opening my 2026 for bookings. I’ll make a post when I’m ready to do this.

Thank you,
Jess and Efa ❤️

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick one to say merry Christmas!!! Thank you so much for any gifts, they’re never expected but so appreciated! I’m forever grateful for all of you. Thank you.

A heads up for you all, I’ve told a few but I know I haven’t told everyone. We have bought our first home! In the new year we will be getting a license on it as soon as possible and I’ll let you all know when we are transferring over. We are still in Kirkham!!

Once again, thank you so much for your business and support! Have a lovely Christmas and I’ll see you all soon!

Efa is ready to run into the new year like….

Hello everyone,

An update for you all regarding 2025 holidays.

I will be taking the 21st February off and also trialling taking some holiday over the festive period, so I will close from the 22nd December 2025 until the 4th January 2026.

That’s of course in addition to the 5th-11th May and 3rd -9th November

I also just want to thank everyone for all your business this year! Thank you so much!!!

Lots of love,
Jess and Efa ❤️

Ready to get back to it!

My next holiday will be May 5th - May 11th

I’m also booking up very quickly for next year, please get in touch if you have any dates in mind. January and February are full.

An important thing to consider is a backup. I love all my pups and wish I could look after them whenever it was needed but I’m a small business and unfortunately I can’t always accommodate everyone! The link below will take you to a register of everyone under the fylde council with an Animal Welfare License. If you’re looking for other boarders, please make sure they are on there.

Finally, I am not accepting any new customers at all now. Sorry!

Thanks everyone!

Lots of love,
Jess and Efa xx
