Why Choose Patchwork Petcare?
Custom services for unique pets
Patchwork Petcare’s services are customised to suit the changing needs of your pet. I understand that living with pets with unique needs can be challenging, but also, so incredibly rewarding!
One size does not fit all – we all know this too well – and the stress of finding someone suitable to care for your pet can be frustrating and overwhelming.
This is where I come in.
Different is what I do, and I don’t charge extra for large households or special requirements!
Safety & security above all
I take safety and security very seriously, not just for your pets, but also your property, the public and myself. I am:
- Enhanced DBS checked
- Advanced Pet First Aid Trained
- Insured with Petplan Sanctuary
- Qualified and experienced in Animal Management
and follow detailed, professional safety practices to ensure the same exceptional care for every client.
Committed to advancing standards
Our understanding of animal welfare is always evolving, and I prioritise evolving my practices along with it, by:
- Using methods that are rooted in science, and maintaining ethical practices that prioritise the needs of animals.
- Continuously building on my skills, education and understanding of animal care, welfare and behaviour.
- Advocating for holistic care practices, improving welfare standards, and helping owners to give their pets the rich and fulfilling lives they deserve.
Environmentally conscious
We love this planet, and we want to do our bit to keep it healthy! We’re always looking for new ways to improve, and some of the things we are doing right now are:
- paper free processing – 100% digital data storage and booking process.
- minimising travel for dog walks (many of us have beautiful green spaces available on our door!)
- using environmentally friendly pet care supplies.
- supporting pet parents to find more sustainable, natural and healthy pet care options available to them
Regular & detailed visit reports
When many of my clients first come to me, they are concerned about leaving their pet and not knowing what they’re up to or how they’re getting on. I feel this way too!
I address this issue directly, with comprehensive visit reports every time I visit your pet.
I will give you as much information, and as many cute pictures or videos as you like for each visit.
You can also get notifications and check your reports via the free mobile app, which also has GPS tracking, so you can see where your pups have been on their adventures!
