DOGS BOARDED AT CARER'S HOME

This service varies from dog to dog depending on age, size, social behaviour and whether or not the animal is properly house trained. Some dogs away from home bark incessantly all night, scratch doors and even destroy furniture and carpets as well as chewing through wooden doors. Excessive damage to property and/or fouling need to be compensated for. The worst scenario (although rarely experienced) is dogs will be dogs and occasionally get into fights, harming some of our other guests. All dog owners whose dog turns aggressive and damages other animals in our care must cover vet bills, hence a waiver must be signed. We advise that you are properly insured against third party injuries.

DAILY DOG WALKING

 

View RSPCA Duty of Care Support Video

Give your dog a healthy, constructive and enjoyable life. Teach the canine ABC, the friendly way.

Dogs suffering from antisocial behaviour are walked separately and are given 20 minutes per walk @ £7.50 inclusive of mileage for all long-term bookings within the Carshalton area. The occasional walk is charged @ £10.00 inclusive of mileage within the Carshalton area. Where mileage is charged, outside the Carshalton area, the rate remains the same but with an additional fee of £0.50 per mile, based on pick-up and return to base.

Clicker Training enables one to educate one's pet with style.

Dogs who are well adjusted, friendly and sociable with other dogs in a group pack are walked, usually, in open fields, wooded areas or farmland. We 'clicker' train the dogs to help them adjust into the 'pack' behaviour before letting them off the lead. All dogs are rewarded with treats when offering good behaviour. We carry a first aid kit for dogs, 'scoop the poop' bags and plenty of fresh water when in transport. Currently we are unable to wash the dogs down after running in wet, muddy fields so please ensure you have plenty of carpet protectors where necessary. The dogs have a great time and really enjoy their freedom, chasing rabbits or foxes in the woods. Grooming is not part of our job description; however, you will find a very contented happy animal when you return home from work.

A creative dog is an active dog who stays alert.

We do advise our customers to have their dogs micro-chipped, as occasionally a dog might get distracted and get lost in the heat of the moment. We have never lost a dog yet, but these are very distressing times for both owners and carers. By law a dog must wear a collar with a visible identity tag. Fortunately we live in an area where people still have a conscience and are very concerned when they find a lost dog. The local police too are always only too willing to help. Our job is to give your dog the time of their life whilst you are at work. We need your co-operation as we can work only with dogs who feel secure, loved and are confident. An obedient dog usually comes from a home where he/she receives attention and is treated with respect.


Isadora

A tired dog is a happy dog.

We are connected to a whole host of professional animal carers from CFA 'clicker' trained, veterinary back-up, to nutritional care, and canine legal advisors (including both fashionable and practical products as well as treats) at very reasonable rates. You'd be amazed to learn how one can improve the quality of a dog's life with a little extra knowledge and a few very simple attributes.

COST OF DOGS BOARDING AT CARER'S HOME

An additional £5 per night.
We have not charged this from inception and like to keep the rate as low as possible for as long as possible. For now we do not charge the extra night rate, but with growing inflation may need to reassess this year (2007).

EXTRA 25% charge for puppies 12  to 22 wks  (Adequate Puppy Pads must be provided)

EXTRA 15% charge for puppies from 6 to 12 months

Due to new legislation by DEFRA in that dogs must be supervised every two hours, we no longer can ignore the night fee.

OVERNIGHT STAYS AT OWNERS' PREMISES

An additonal rate will be charged when a carer needs to stay overnight to supervise and accompany your dog. With this extra security we do expect that our carer will be treated as a member of the family and that reasonable provisions for food and non-alcoholic drinks are available. The rate could vary from £10.00 up to £17.50 per night.

Daytime house sitting from £25.00 per day.

Home visitation for a cat consists of feeding, clearing up kenneling area, cleaning litter tray and house sitting of 20 minutes per cat, per visit. Watching television, listening to the radio or reading the newspaper together. A carer too appreciates being treated as a member of the family and being provided with certain non-alcoholic beverages, like tea and biscuits.

All bookings accepted have a two week non-refundable 20% deposit clause, at the carer's discretion this may be carried forward. Last minute - 48 hours notice - bookings can carry an extra 10% over the whole bill emergency premium charge and the total bill must be paid up front.

Some cats can be aggressive or in need of medication. It has never happened, but if your cat damages itself whilst in our care, as owner you are responsible for covering the injured cat's vet bills, hence a waiver must be signed. Protect your cat by having it micro-chipped as well as properly insured.

Please note that we do not take cats in as we feel they prefer to stay in their own environment, however, special arrangements can be made in the case of emergencies from £5 per day.
