Freda’s Creature Care

A different day……

Yesterday made for a fun change in routine as I challenged myself to run between clients. It wasn’t entirely voluntary - the car was out of action for its service and I didn’t want to have to take a day off 🚙

My partner Ollie came along too on the bike, and very helpfully carried water & snacks 🤩 We managed to get to all my morning regulars, and finished up in time to grab the car back from the garage.

Maybe I should make this a regular thing? 🧐 Probably not! But it made for a fun (albeit exhausting) day and spiced up my week a bit!

Stats:
>35,000 steps
11.2km running between clients
9.1 walking with clients
some extra walking to/from town

A photo dump from the last couple of weeks 🐾🤩🥰

I’ve been terrible with social media recently, life has been busyyy!

July and August are a little chaotic due to pony showing & some family commitments, so I will have reduced availability for ad-hoc clients & house sits. If you’re hoping to book-in, please get in touch as far in advance as possible.

Have a great weekend, byeeee 👋🏻

🥥 Coconut 🥥

This sweet wee Roborovski hamster is Coconut 🌴 he’s a lovely wee dude, and we’d love to find him a forever family.

He’s speedy, as is typical of Robos, however he’s relatively good to handle for health checks etc.

Coconut is looking for a home that can offer him a spacious enclosure (100cm x 50cm or larger) and will appreciate his adorable character without needing to be hands-on. He would be best suited to an adult-only household, or a family with older children (ie. not too noisy). Whilst not a cuddly critters, Roborovski hamsters make fascinating companions and are highly entertaining to watch! 🤩

To enquire about adoption, please pop us a message, and fill out the application from in the auto-reply. We look forward to hearing from you!

We’re officially on hols! ✈️

I’m going to do my best to switch off from work, so will not be responding to queries during this time. I’ll keep an eye open for urgent messages re upcoming bookings though 👀

Have a good week folks! 🥰

🗓️ Dates for the Diary 🗓️

I have two breaks planned for the coming months, and will not be working (all services) or doing admin during these periods.

➡️ 29th April - 9th May
➡️ 14th June - 17th June

I’m super excited to have a breather, and we’re going abroad for the first time in forever too, so that’s fun!

There will be dates later in the year too, but I’ll share those nearer the time.

As always thanks to my wonderful clients for the support - you guys are the best 🥰🐾

First day back to walking this year and it was a cracker! ❄️✨

An evening wander with our own pups tips me over 30,000 steps for the day, so I’m ready to put my feet up!

So lovely to see all these gorgeous faces today - and some fab snow zoomies too 🤩

Alfi, Curtis, Peggy, Harris & Shuna, Jock & Roxy, Snoopy & Rocky (two of our own, I couldn’t resist sharing because Rocky is an elderly new addition, and him tagging along behind Snoops is downright adorable) 🥰

Happy New Year 🥳

I hope you’ve all had a lovely festive period!

Remember - I’m back to work on WEDNESDAY 8th January. Most folks’ payment will be due on this coming Monday, whether that’s for the week or the month. Just popping a reminder here as if your brains are anything like mine at the moment, then a wee nudge won’t do any harm! Feel free to pop me a message if you’d like to confirm dates/amount due.

After two weeks off my anxiety is sky-high thinking I’ve forgotten someone/something, so please bear with me. The perks of self-employment - I don’t know how to switch off 🙄

Myself, Ollie and the dogs have had a wonderful week away on Skye, and despite the weather we’ve had some gorgeous views and chilled wanders. Mostly we’ve been inside though, keeping warm, reading, mentally re-setting.

See you all soon! 🐾🥰

What a year it’s been!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and all the best for the New Year when that rolls in 🎄🤩🥰

That’s me signed-off for the holidays and looking forward to a very much needed break! I will be ‘out of office’ and not responding to enquiries during this time, and will get back to anyone in the New Year. As a wee reminder, regular walks re-commence on Weds 8th January.

Thank you to each and every one of my clients for all your support during my first full year in business. It’s been busy, and exhausting, but so so fulfilling. Here’s to another year 🥂

I have some fun walking stats that I’m aiming to share at some point before the new year, so stay tuned for that. Otherwise, see ya in 2025! 🥳
