It takes a village

It takes a village Filling a gap in the community for people who aren't ready or aren't wanting to go down the road of having a carer or go in to a care home.

I'll also come and feed your pets when you are on your well earned holidays.

First minor disaster in the village .. ive lost all my whats app correspondence with all of my villagers. If you have messaged me today i have not received it. I have a new work phone and apparently my whats app has not been backing up and hasnt brought anything across. So, if youve messaged me today please resend as id hate for any of you to think im ignoring you.

This week marks 3 months of my business β€” grown all by myself, with a little (okay, a lot) of help along the way from people who believed in me. 🌱
My "OG village" is the friends and small business owners who gave me the confidence boost I needed. I've learned networking is really just wherever I step in and find someone to chat with.
I still can't believe it's only been 3 months, because these last 90 days have been incredible β€” for me, my family, my brain, my body, my wellbeing, all of it.
Every client gets something different from me... except the cats, who just want to be fed and then want you to bu**er off 😹 (though Dandelion insists on an audience while he eats).
For my human clients, I've been busy busy busy:
πŸ«– Making tea (a LOT of tea)
🏑 Room organising & decluttering
🌿 Gardening
🍲 Cooking & meal prep
πŸ›’ Grocery shopping
πŸ›οΈ Changing beds
🧹 Tidying & vacuuming
πŸ“… Appointment support
🎲 Game opponent (I will not let you win)
πŸ‘Ά Mother's help for new parents who just need an extra pair of hands
πŸ“– Workbook companion
β˜• Companion, full stop β€” I love hearing every client's stories
So many new friends, so many things I hadn't even thought to offer when I started.
Here's the simple version: if you'd ask a good friend, your mum, or your sister to do it β€” you can ask me. I can always say no.
Off to make myself a cup of tea now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you β€” being there for you means I'm being there for me too. πŸ’›

Tuesdays & Thursdays are my quietest days. Mondays & Wednesdays currently pet-visits only.

Campaign July

28/07/2026

Are you going on holiday? Away for a work trip and just need someone to pop in to check in on feed your cats/bunnies/chickens/tortoise????

Im your girl Β£8 for one visit per day Β£12 for two visits a day! Im told catteries charge about Β£16 a day per animal and its a right old faff taking them to the cattery whilst trying to get ready AND NEWSFLASH ...they dont want to go, you dont want to take them, you dont want to go pick them up after you come back from your lovely break away.

Also of course if you just want a visit to a vulnerable/less able person that is struggling to feed their own animals i will be more than happy to visit a doggo.
