I cover all areas within a 10 mile radius of my home in Weston-on-Trent, Derby. This means those living in or around any of the following places are covered:

Swarkestone, Barrow, Aston-on-Trent, Weston-on-Trent, Chellaston, Castle Donington, Ticknall, Melbourne, Shelton Lock, Allenton, Alvaston, Elvaston, Borrowash, Sinfin, Stenson Fields (all within 5 miles)

Etwall, Hilton, Swadlincote, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Coalville, Shepshed, Toton, Long Eaton, Little Eaton, West Hallam, Kirk Langley, Mapperley, Ockbrook, Findern, Kegworth, Littleover, Stanley, Chaddesden, Spondon (all within 10 miles)

Due to having a full UK drivers license, I can cover some wider areas e.g. Heanor, Eastwood, Ibstock, Loughborough and Ripley but it will incur a further travel cost.

Yes! I can accommodate both regular and one-off dog walking bookings. These will be arranged within a particular time slot and can be 30 minutes long or 1 hour long.

My drop in service allows for pets to be fed, cleaned and let out to the toilet in 20-40 minute bookable slots. This is a great option for elderly dogs, dogs without all of their vaccinations and those that are too young to be left for long periods without a wee break!

Within this time I can also perform spot cleans on litter trays, enclosures or crates and can obviously provide many cuddles and a lot of play! If medications need to be administered, this can be arranged as well. I have over 15 years experience of injecting dogs and cats with insulin so can provide injections as well but do require clear instructions and clearly labelled medication prescribed by a registered vet.

Pets are usually happier in the comfort of their own home as their diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted and travel trauma for both the pet and the owner is eliminated.

For nervous, anxious and aggressive pets, this keeps their routine as consistent as possible and removes too many changes at once with new smells and noises kept to a minimum to prevent sensory overload.

Pet sitters also provide security for your property. I can alternate the lights that are on, the blinds that are open, take in post and parcels to make it look as if someone is home to deter potential break-ins and burglaries.

Your pets will also be receiving love and personal attention, your pets will be cared for like they are my own! Furthermore, I promise you increased communication with daily updates and photos.

Overall, in-home professional pet care provides added peace of mind for you, so you can enjoy your break with less worries as you will be leaving your pets and home in safe and capable hands.

If you are going away and you would like your pet to stay in the comfort of your own home whilst being looked after, then Fur Your Convenience offers a pawsome pet sitting service! Our pet sitting service is often for people who are worried about asking family or friends, don’t want to put their pets in a kennel or cattery, or cant find space with an external boarding company and are looking for a reliable, professional pet sitting service.

Their evening routine will be adhered to as closely as possible as I will be staying in the home from approximately 7pm until 8am every night you have requested me to. Also included in my pet sitting package is two daily drop ins with a short walk for dogs. This means, if their usual breakfast meal is after 8am, or they have a lunchtime meal, or they have an evening meal before 7pm, I can still feed at the hours your pets are used to. For younger animals, this means I can accommodate up to 4 meals per day and can let your animals out to the toilet up to 4 times per day as well.

Within my pet sitting package, I also can water house plants, spot clean any litter trays and living areas (e.g. hamster cages or fish tanks), I can purchase groceries for you ready for your return at an extra cost and put your bins out for you if your holiday falls over a bin day.

I always provide and insist upon a free meet and greet, this is so you can meet me and ask any questions you might have. I can also meet your pets and get to know them and complete the necessary paperwork for insurance purposes.

Feel free to contact me by email, phone, or Facebook Messenger to discuss my services and availability. We can then arrange a convenient time for a meet and greet.

99% of the time it will be myself, Alix! Find out more about me in my blog! I do have one other voluntary team member for if I am not available to look after your pet but I will be in contact to let you know who will be visiting.

We both have over 15 years of experience in the pet sitting and dog walking industry and will take excellent care of your pets. We both manage a boarding kennel and cattery and have worked in rescue, dog grooming and as ethical breeders as well.

Your pets health and welfare are my main priority so all members are trained in animal first aid and all team members are DBS checked.

I can care for almost any type of pet. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds and fish. I am willing to also care for reptiles and have a certificate in reptilian care. I do have a fear of spiders so will draw the line at tarantulas unfortunately but know a lovely lady with 8 tarantulas who would happily care for your spidey friends if she is available!

I have no limit on how many pets for drop ins and over night pet sits (but understandably with additional pets there will be additional charges). There is a limit in most areas on dog walking so I do have a limit of up to 4 dogs per dog walk, however if you own more (like me!) I will happily walk in separate packs if needed!
