Our budgies had babies that were only a few weeks old and we had a 6 night holiday booked, which wasn't great timing. I was a bit nervous because it was their first clutch and I wanted to set them up for success in raising their 6 little ones (which are very fragile at that age). Jenny & David were amazing. Thankfully they are budgie lovers so were happy to take on the task of making sure the babies were doing well. There was quite a list of things to do: providing fresh food twice a day, cleaning the cage, nest box and letting the adults out to fly. But, most importantly, I asked them to observe all the little ones to check that they were starting to eat real food and make sure the mum wasn't getting too exhausted. Also because of the heat the cage was inside, so the floors also needed to be kept clean. Jenny was fantastic with updates and photos, giving me really valuable information. I was overjoyed to come back to very healthy, happy budgies & babies and the house looking spic n span. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as a great choice to look after your house and pets. In fact, I have already booked them for my next holiday! Thanks so much Jenny & David!
Mimi is amazing! My dog loves her and she took excellent care of him when he was having some skin and joint issues, really going above and beyond. I can tell she’s very experienced and knowledgeable with dogs. She was organized and very easy to communicate with. We got plenty of cute photos and videos while we were away. The house and plants were all perfectly cared for when we got home, and our dog was happy. We’d love to have her back any time!
