April: full house, muddy paws, and fur everywhere... 🐾
Wouldn’t have had it any other way. πŸ’›
May - Pets And Plants are ready for you! 🍁

We finished off last month and started off this month with the handsome Harry and his signature teefy underbite. 🀍 He's always so at home here....

Lots of daily morning and evening cat visits with my regular crew. Safi, Sky, Dougie, Maisie and Baloo! I love the welcomes I get from my puddies, the rattling purrs and headbutts are just the best. πŸ₯° It's very hard to leave them so I usually end up staying and chatting to them for way longer than the norm!

Walter was back for a week! The way he bombs through the open front door on his arrival makes me laugh so much. I'm sure if it was closed, there'd be a big Labrador shaped hole in it because he just wouldn't be able to hold back his excitement!! πŸ’₯ He loves his boarding stints and his walks, no matter the weather. I think he enjoys getting wet in the rain just so he can have the big, boisterous towel dry off afterwards!

A couple of weeks after Harry went home..... he returned to us for a fortnight stay! Yay!
I picked him up from to take over, and he greeted me like a soldier returning from duty! πŸ˜† Home for a bubbly scented bath and he was happily settled back in, sock-stealing and playing with his teddies like he had never left. 🧦

Just as the new month started, we greeted our fluffpots Tiggy and Monty in for their long weekend stay. The squeaks and screeches of pure joy as they leap out of their car and recognise the driveway are beyond!! I'm sure the neighbours must think "?!?!...."
🀣 πŸ™‰ They're the best little housemates.

And a big welcome to the Pets And Plants pack to Solly the sausage!! πŸ€ŽπŸ–€πŸ€Ž This tiny bundle of squishy 13 week old Miniature Dachshund gorgeousness is now being looked after by his new Auntie on a regular basis, and I get to have my fix of puppy endorphins to start my weekends off perfectly!
Hi Solly, I'm besotted already. 😍

From the start of autumn days to zoomie plays, March was made for boarding stays! πŸ‚

Lovely Nellie was still here luckily for us overlapping from end of February, and she was such a pleasure to have. The sweetest mature lady, and we can't wait to have her back when she next comes. πŸ’•

From one end of the scale.... to the other when Jax came to stay!! This gorgeous 5 month old Sharpei X Staffi puppy had never boarded anywhere before, he just went to local daycare every so often so this was a new thing for him. But with lots of playtime, LOTS of cuddles and being able to
s p r a w l across the bed at night, he settled in super fast! 🩢🀍

As well as all the dogs arriving, I got to visit a pair of my regular kitty cats while their family were away for a couple of weekends. I adore Dougie and Maisie - they always give me the best miaowy welcomes, and don't bat an eyelid when I scoop them up and cover their faces in Auntie kisses. πŸ₯° The purrs say they'd quite like more please.

Mabel, the most perfect Pug joined the Pets And Plants crew and came to holiday with us for the first time too. We fell in love with her within seconds and her little smiley face showed she was loving her time here mutually! The kids bond very easily with all the fluffs and we're always really sad when they go home again...

We finished off our month with our handsome Harry, he's been here before and he makes us laugh so much with his antics. When we talk to him, he listens so intently and hangs off our every word. His cocked head with his teefy underbite, makes my heart melt!! 🀍 (I do love sticky-out dog teeth!) We have him for one more night and he snuggles up so close, it's like having a real life teddy bear on the duvet.

Easter weekend is going to be a busy one with lots of visits to do, and a regular coming back to stay on Sunday hopping in like the huge bunny he is! 🐰

Enjoy your long weekend, keep any chocolate safely out of your pups' reach and let's see what April brings!

February has been short and sweet, the last month of our pretty amazing summer! πŸŒ… We've loved sharing it with this beautiful batch of pups...

Harley and her brother Olaf were reunited with their family returning back from an Australian holiday, we missed their tornado energy within minutes of them being driven home! πŸŒͺ πŸŒͺ

Then came two of my regular darlings that I've been lucky to know since they were teeny, tiny, bitey puppies! 🧑🧑 Tiggy and Monty have my heart all wrapped up in their little Norwich Terrier paws. We had a lovely week and a half together, and I'm already looking forward to them coming back again.

Following a usual in-between house vacuum/mop/disinfect/sparkly clean, Walter arrived! He's such a goofy, loveable boy who has got very attached to me since he first met me and it's mutual! 😍 He guards me like he's my Royal Protection Officer and in turn he gets alllll the kisses and cuddles he deserves! β™‘ The next day he was joined by his brother from another mother - Astin! We adore this sweet, laid-back gentleman and it's always an absolute treat to have him as part of our family when he stays. I sometimes see him at school drop-offs with his mum, and he always wiggles over to me for a big hello which makes my whole day!

Paddy was next to have a couple of day stays! My little fluffy baked bean as I call him, was overjoyed as usual to come and spend some time with his Auntie Sonya. πŸ₯° He follows me around wherever I go, he helps me hang out the washing and the minute I sit down... he's curled up like a warm lamb and wedges himself ascloselyaspossible on or beside me all contented. Love him all up!!

Welcome to the Pets And Plants pack, sweet Nellie!
πŸ–€πŸ©Ά It's her first board with us and we've completely fallen head over heels with her. She's the most gentle senior lady who has settled in like she's always been here. She snoozes for a lot of the day, but then plays like a puppy when she gets a burst of energy! The kids love her and she reminds us all a bit, of Poppy in her elderly years. πŸ₯Ή

Enjoy your weekend and if you'd like any of my free boarding dates, just woof!

πŸ“’ My free dates are up!!! πŸ“Œ

This is my updated 2026 calendar, so if you see any of these dates that you like, you want, you need.... message me ASAP to nab them before Sandra and her Schnauzers get in there first!

2027 booked dates will be up soon too, so if you're organised enough to book your trip dates now - let me know! Even if you book more than you need, we can always whittle them down a bit when you have more of an idea...

β˜† A reminder too, of my small boarding and visit increase announcement for this year that was posted last December if you didn't see it then!
I was gently told off by a couple of clients that it was overdue in time to do that, as I was comparatively very low in price! 🀭
Please shoot me a message if you need more details on prices, and I'll forward on my full Pets And Plants info for you. πŸ’Ÿ

Have a pawsome day lovely people!

There's another 3rd birthday going on!!!
Billie is today's b'day girl! πŸŽˆπŸŽ€

I was lucky to catch her this morning for a kiss and a very excited driveway cuddle - I think it started both of our days off just right! πŸ₯°

Three cheers for this beauty! 🀎🀎🀎

What an end to the year! A revolving door of fluffy feet and happy faces... 😊

Our beautiful Ivy went home and we missed her badly for the next few days - we always do! β™‘ She's such a sweetheart.
Then after a weekend away, along came Walter!
He's the most placid, clingy and loving boy who made the house so fun with his crazy antics. β™‘ He really slotted into our family life like he's always been here! (They all do, to be fair!)
For one of his weekends, we were joined by our regular girl Roxy. β™‘ She's our teddybear gorgeousness who simply moves into her second home for another stay while she's here, and we always love having her. Walter became quite besotted with her and they got on so well... 😍 It makes it so easy when we can mix easy-going pups like this.

I went to see my 2 elderly sister tabbies for a few days too. β™‘β™‘ Poor Sky hasn't been well, so she got lots of cuddles with her meds and Safi just enjoyed wolfing her treats down! πŸ˜„

I'm currently looking after another of my very first cats that I started my little business with years ago, so I have a special corner of my heart for Baloo. β™‘ He appreciates the quiet toddler-free time when his family are away, so I get a lovely welcome when I see his handsome face on his visits.

My (your) furry four-paws all enjoyed their Christmas postbox deliveries that they received just before the big day and it was really heartwarming to see them so excited to have them! 🦴 πŸŽ…πŸ»
Malmo, Astin, Harry and Hopey - thank your pawrents for sending me your happy photos! β™‘β™‘β™‘β™‘

Merry Christmas to all my cat and dog darlings, we adore you all and I appreciate my amazing clients so much. You've made my year! πŸ’«
I can't wait to continue seeing them in 2026 and beyond, Happy New Year my Pets And Plants whānau!
