September and October have disappeared in a blur of busy days caring for horses, sheep, hens, cats and dogs, and I am delighted to have a little lull in my workload this week to catch up on life 🥴😴

Many of my followers may know that I have had my flat in Walkerburn up for sale and it is currently under offer with a moving date in early December. Between an already busy diary, shorter daylight hours, trying to get moved home and still having my own 2 horses to care for I have extremely limited availability through November. Early December I have time off planned for moving and then I am fully booked over the festive period.

Equine care is on temporaray hold with the current strangles outbreak in Peebles.

Looking back on a busy few months, its been a pleasure as always to care for so many lovely animals 🐱🐶🐴🐭🐰🐔 and now it is almost time for me to have a few days off to rest and relax before a fully booked September!!
October, November and December have limited availability, I am at capacity over new year and its never too early to get 2027 bookings in my diary.

Delighted to say that the boys have found a new family to love them, and I will still get to be their cat sitter for holidays 🥰

For the last few months I've had the joy of helping to care for two lovely teenage cats while their elderly older has been a bit poorly. Unfortunately their owner needs to go into care and the cats are in need of new people to love them.
Ollie is the black and white boy. He has a thyroid issue that is managed by a daily pill which he takes very easily in a little bit of chicken paste. He is a proper lap cat, loves attention.
Sully is the grey long haired boy. He likes to snuggle next to you and be petted. Both go out the cat flap for strolls and they would need to have outdoor access which is the only reason I can't keep them myself.
Please contact me if you feel you can offer these sweethearts a new home. They are currently in Innerleithen and we would like them to stay fairly local so the family can keep in contact.

Great to see some sunshine this week 🌞 after what feels like a very soggy 🌨 few months
It has been lovely to spend time with regulars and meet new clients over the last few months. I'm now off for a few days rest and relaxation 😴😎 ahead of a busy May.

💝 Happy Valentines Day 💝
Hope everyone is snuggled with a loved one like Ivy and Jonny, or gazing lovingly (most likely at a treat or a squirrel) like Lola.
Its been a dreich few weeks but lots of cats needing my attention has helped balance out the chill of dog walks and keeping horses happy in mud, wind, rain and snow. I'm sure I'm not the only one dreaming of sunshine and holidays and its never too early to get your pet care organised.
Easter holiday time is now pretty much full, as is early July and I've already got a significant booking over the festive period (🎄🎅)so will only be taking extremely limited cat/small animal bookings.
I have small chunks of time off planned, since weekends aren't a thing when animals need care and I am getting middle aged and tired easily 😴 , late March, late April, May into June then late August and Early December.

Hope everyone had a lovely time over the festive season and bounded into 2026 like Una the collie did 🐾
The first day of the year was much like any other day for me, with horses, hens, cats and gerbils all needing my attention 🐴🐀🐔🐈‍⬛
As ever my diary is filling fast, so do drop me a message if you have holiday plans for the year ahead and need pet care. Prices start from £12 per visit.
Happy New Year 🥳

Along with all the lovely cats, dogs and horses I get to spend time with regularly, the summer holidays always brings me a wide variety of animals needing my care. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchilla, degu, hamster, ducks, hens and even stick insects!
I'm taking some time off at the end of August to rest, and end of October to get some pre winter sunshine.
I've not decided yet what my availability over the festive period will be, so if anyone is thinking they may need me please let me know asap so I can decide if and what I'm working.

Happy summer Solstice, hope everyone is keeping cool 😎🌞
Life has been busy as ever for the past few months and I'm now off for a few days to have a rest before the school holidays start.
There is extremely limited availability in early August for cat/small animal sitting, beyond that I'm now fully booked into September.

Towards the end of the year I will be making adjustments to my pricing.
For horse work, after the clocks change in October, my minimum charge will be £12 to feed and check horses and anything involving mucking out will be minimum £15.
The price for cat and small animal visit will rise in January 2026 to £12 per visit.
Dog let outs / short walks will also be priced from £12 from January, with no change to my group walk prices.

January done ✅
On the cold wet days cuddling cats is just the best 😻 but I've been lucky with the weather for some stunning dog walks.
Still some availability for cat and small animal care during Feb half term and Easter school holidays but July and August are getting very full.

2024 done, and it was another busy one with so many lovely animals to care for 🐶🐱🐰🐭🦎🐟🐔🐴.💕
Diary is open and filling fast for 2025.

Have a good new year when it comes, I've a curry in my tummy, a peach schnapps in hand and doubt I'll be awake for the bells 🍾
