Our Services
Regular or ad-hoc dog walking, hybrid and term-time catered for, groups or individual. We keep walks interesting across parks, recreational grounds, fields, bridleways, woodlands and our own private field. Groups of 2–4 for happy, sociable dogs. Let us know your schedule and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
An alternative to a walk, our canine care visits are ideal for puppies, adult dogs, elderly companions or those recovering from illness and surgery. We’ll pop in to check your dog is OK, feed them, offer a comfort break and provide plenty of fuss — with longer visits available if your dog would enjoy extra company and play. Bespoke visits with enrichment toys can also be arranged.
Leaving your cat behind isn’t easy. We create visits tailored to your cat’s needs and individuality, all while they chill at home. Choose once- or twice-daily visits and we’ll handle feeding, fresh water, clean bowls, litter trays and medication if needed — plus cuddles, playtime and company.
A daily drop-in service for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, degus, chinchillas, mice, rats and ferrets. Choose once- or twice-daily visits for feeding, fresh water, clean bowls and tidy hutches and cages — checked and securely fastened so nobody ends up on the loose. Playtime, fuss, cuddles and companionship come as standard, keeping your pet’s routine right on track.
A bespoke care service for chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl and caged & aviary birds while you’re away. Fresh food and water daily, morning let-out and safe lock-up at dusk, egg collection and coop cleaning (if applicable). Gentle interaction and attention come as standard.
A simple, stress-free service to keep your fish happy, healthy and well-fed while you’re away. We’ll follow their usual routine, popping in once or twice a day to feed them, check their setup and make sure all is calm. Available for cold-water, tropical and pond fish.
We’ll pop in to make sure your reptile has everything it needs for a comfortable day at home. Food and fresh water, thermostat checks, and vivarium tidying as needed — all while keeping to their usual routine. Calm, confident care for geckos, snakes, tortoises, dragons and more.
Dedicated medication visits for pets who need a little extra care. Our carer is City & Guilds qualified in the safe use of veterinary medicines and experienced in administering medication orally, topically and by injection — always following your vet’s guidance. A calm, confident service to keep your pet comfortable, cared for and right on schedule while you’re away.
About
At Welland Valley Pet Care, I believe caring for your pet is about so much more than simply walking a dog or popping in for a visit. Since 2016, I’ve built my business around providing knowledgeable, dependable and genuinely personal care, taking the time to get to know every pet as an individual — their personality, routines, likes, dislikes and little quirks. I’m committed to providing the highest standard of care while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether it’s a dog walk, a comfort visit or caring for your cat, small animals, poultry, fish or reptiles, your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing always come first.
