Services
Pet Sitting

From cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, small furries, exotic species and birds to livestock and horses, we can look after your pets in the comfort of their own home whilst you’re away.

Although your pets will miss not having you around, they will benefit from staying in their own home environment when you go away. It is less stressful for them and their routine won’t be too disrupted.

We always come and meet you and your pets before you go away. This enables us to learn their routines and requirements and also benefits your pets as we become a more familiar, friendly face.

We are fully insured for all pet care and enhanced DBS checked for your peace of mind.

We absolutely love our job and the animals we meet everyday! We care for them as we would our own pets and offer lots of affection and play time.

What our customers say about us

“Katherine looked after all 11 of my reptiles for 2 weeks while I went on holiday. they were looked after amazing she even went and bought a new light for one when it popped. Would definitely recommend her.”

Janis

“Our two cats have always been very looked after by Wonkey Donkey. The care and attention to detail is fantastic. Most of all, our elderly cat with her health issues is cared for professionally and with the utmost care. Really happy to recommend.”

Stacey

“Katherine looks after our cat Garfield every time we go away and does a brilliant job. He’s always happy to see her and we find he’s in great shape when we return. In fact I sometimes think he enjoys having her look after him more than spending time with us”

Ian

“We’ve had Katherine from Wonkey Donkey come to clip our cats claws. Our cats Ginger & Biscuit are far more comfortable now after Kathrine’s care and attention. We will definitely have Katherine back to clip our cats claws again”
