My background experience
Worry free pet care
Hello, my name is Bridget and I live in Melksham. I offer a dog walking & pet care service between Melksham and Calne in Wiltshire. I take 2 dogs per walk, only, so that they have my full care and attention. Over the years, my family and I have welcomed many pets into our home, including Jenny (a beautiful black Labrador), Maisey (a crazy springer spaniel who knew her own mind), and 'Lady' Marbles a very agile, three legged cat. We also welcomed Georgina the rabbit, Tom and Toby the Guinea pigs, a gecko named Skywalker and last but by no means least, Max the Goldfish. They all lived long and happy lives and we loved them dearly. I understand that at times, you need someone who has experience with family furry friends and can care and provide everything your pet needs, while you can't be there. I offer a reliable, professional and caring service.

Pet Sitting
For those times when you may be away on holiday and you would like to offer your cat, rabbit, guinea pigs or rabbits the security of staying in their own home, i can pop in to feed, change water, check on welfare, clear up any mishaps and offer some company and cuddles, as required. I can even put your mail away from prying eyes.
For this discreet service, you would need to book 30 minutes.
However, if you would like the rabbit or guinea pig cage cleaned, prior to returning home (so you can just concentrate on the laundry), please book a 60 minute slot.

Testimonials
​
Kuro's mum Jackie
Bridget has been looking after Kuro for the last 4 years. We come home to a happy girl who definitely didn't go hungry. Bridget communicates well with us over the needs of Kuro and routines of feeding etc, she even sends pictures of Kuro while we are away and checked in that everything was well, on return.
Otis's mum Julie
Bridget was an absolute trooper looking after Otis. She ensured that Otis individualised routine and medical needs were undertaken whilst being part of her family. Otis had a very relaxed time in Bridget's care and was not in any rush to leave her care! Bridget shared photos of Otis which confirmed to me that Otis felt secure and happy.
