Oh no, I’ve done it again! 🤦‍♀️ Missed my weekly post… AGAIN! 😂 I said I was going to get better at this social media lark, but evidently, old habits die hard! 🙈Anyways here is what I’ve been up to over the last 2 weeks.

🐶 The usual weekly “Angel & Devil Duo” 😇😈
I’ve decided these two need official titles! One is very angelic (the “wouldn’t hurt a fly, butter wouldn’t melt” type… although her owner seems rather baffled by my analogy 😂). The other? An absolute giant demon! 👹 Eyes need to be on him at ALL times because he has a real talent for looting things that definitely aren’t digestible! 🤦‍♀️🤣
It was the “angel’s”
birthday recently, so naturally, I had to sing her Happy Birthday and serve up her lunchtime snack accordingly! 🥕🥰

🌭 A mix of Doggy Daycare Taxis and walks for the OG sausage! 🐾

One last snuggle with my weekly snuggle monster before half term 🖤🥺

🐱 New cat pop-in clients! A lovely new duo joining the books, alongside a returning customer booking me for another round of pop-ins. 🙌

🐴 A new livery client for the winter! Helping out with her million horses 😆 Plenty of very cute foals and youngsters to keep me busy… and you’ll have to wait until next week’s post for those photos! 👀🥹

🐎 Repeat livery holiday cover for another lovely duo 🤎🧡

A few days at Glencoe too, looking after a lovely mix of boarding dogs and cats, alongside getting out and about with the Doggy Daycare doggos for walks

It was a lot of 5am starts and 7pm finishes and now I’ve actually written it all down, I’m beginning to realise why I had no time to put this post together in the first place! 😂🤦‍♀️

As always, a huge thank you to everyone who continues to trust KB Pet Services with their four-legged family members. I really do appreciate every booking, new and returning 💚🐶🐱🐴💚

Right… let’s see if I can manage to get next week’s post out ON TIME! It’s in my diary! But no promises! 🤣🙈

12/10/2026

Better late than never-I tell myself every week that I will prep my post as the week goes on but I never do and then I’m searching through a million photos for the “best” ones 🤦‍♀️

🐶 3 days at Glencoe Doggy Daycare getting my steps in with plenty of walks for the doggy daycare crew! 🚶‍♀️🐾

🐴 A full day of horse massages, with some of these being my last before I hang up my equine massage hat in December 🥹💔 Definitely a bittersweet milestone!

🐱🐱A meet & greet with a lovely new cat duo holiday client

🐾 The usual weekly lunch & teatime pop-ins for the crazy duo, plus a lunchtime visit for the resident snuggle monster as well as a taxi to doggy daycare whilst Auntie Jen Palmer’s Pet Services was away🖤

🚕 A new pet taxi client off to doggy daycare! He was a little apprehensive without his mummy at first, but soon settled in

🐶🐶And finally, an hour-long weekend pop-in for a little ad hoc duo while their pawrents enjoyed an evening out

A huge thank you to all my lovely clients for trusting me with your precious pets. It really does mean the world! 💚

✨ Let’s get back to the positive posts 😅✨

Last week’s round-up 🐾

🐶 3 days at Glencoe Kennels & Cattery and on some of those days, the OG sausage was chauffeured along with me for doggy daycare (as well as some walks from home) ! He was joined by a newbie who I was also pet sitting, and it just so happens they became the best of playtime pals 🥹❤️

🐱 A week of cat pop-ins for one of my lovely holiday regulars 🐾

🐕 A couple of ad hoc walks for the bear 🐻

😇👹 The weekly duo for lunch and tea-time pop-ins, these two definitely keep me on my toes, no comment to who the instigator is though 😂

🖤 A weekly regular for a lunchtime pop-in and plenty of snuggles 🥰

🏡🐾 A new client at the weekend for an overnight pet sit. We had the perfect weather to explore the local footpaths on our walks… although trying to get them both to pose nicely together was not happening 🤣📸

Thank you as always for keeping me so busy! 💚

As many of you know, me and Jen Palmer’s Pet Services quite often collaborate together on all things pet services (minus the horses… I’m still trying to convince her that they’re basically just big dogs 🤪🐴).

Jen has only gone and announced that her 2027 diary is open 🙄😂

I was keeping a little 🤐 for now, but I suppose I just have to accept that 2027 will be here before we know it!

So, whilst I claim I don’t do admin on a Sunday evening… here I am! 😂

🔥 So fire away those 2027 dates at me for pet sitting! 🔥

If you already know your dates, get them over to me sooner rather than later

2027… here we come! 🐾💚

2027 … 😳

Yep… I’ve bought a 2027 diary nice and early as I’ve already had 3 enquiries in one week regarding next year!

Which I am super grateful for 💛

So my 2027 diary is officially open 🐾

🐈‍⬛ if you’re a ‘cat pop in’ client then I can not stress enough how important it is to get me your dates as soon as you know them… I have a lovely little client base now 🥺 and I hate not being able to fit people in.. but I only have so much time before and after my shifts at Glencoe on work days ❤️‍🩹

Kelly is going from strength to strength with her pet services now too, but just as before, if I am not available then I’ll always see if Kelly is ( KB Pet Services 🥰 ) she is still the one who does the in home pet sitting (sleepovers) as I don’t do those.

Thankyou to all of my clients for being amazing 🤩 I am so lucky to attract such wonderful people and their furry family members 💛

Bull terrier calendar, obvs.
It sits on the kitchen wall and dictates my life daily, so nothing is missed… nothing quite like pen to paper! 🧘‍♀️
Although I am toying with the idea of going a bit more technical 👀 but that brain power is for 2027 😂

📢 IMPORTANT PAYMENT POLICY UPDATE

From 1st November, all payments will be bank transfer only, with payment required one month in advance where possible. UNLESS you are a cash payer and have already cancelled before then you now MUST pay via bank transfer going forward-no exceptions as I’ve made too many that have cost me money this week! As the saying goes, if you don’t like it then lump it and that is me being polite😬

I’ve had 6 cash bookings cancel this week alone, including 2 cancellations on the actual day, 1 of which was done with less than an hour before the appointment😳. This is leaving gaps in my diary that I simply cannot fill at such short notice not to mention loss of earnings!!

What makes it particularly frustrating is that on some of these dates, I had other clients who were desperate for the space. Other clients who pay immediately via banks transfer 🤦‍♀️ I was instead left with an empty slot and a loss of earnings-not sure if I have mentioned that already 👊🏼

I completely appreciate that genuine emergencies and unforeseen circumstances happen, and I will always take those on a case-by-case basis. However, repeated cancellations and last-minute changes are not something I can continue to absorb as a small business.

My time is my income, and when a booking is cancelled at the last minute, that time cannot always be replaced.

Therefore, moving forward, advance payment will be required to secure bookings.

Once an invoice has been issued, payment must be made on receipt-I can see when you view the invoice and how many times you do by the way😉 rather amusing when your claiming to have not received it 🙄 I do allow a 24-hour grace period, but if payment has still not been received within this time, your dates will be released and made available for other clients to book.

This isn’t a decision I’ve made lightly, but it’s one I need to make to protect my business and ensure my diary remains sustainable.

Thank you to all of my wonderful, reliable clients who continue to book, pay and communicate with me as agreed, it genuinely is appreciated💚 Thankfully it’s only a small minority that have caused an issue this week. Anyways rant over and time for w**e now! 🍷

🐾 Last week was mainly packed with returning clients! 🙌

Returning clients are one of the biggest compliments you can receive in this business. Knowing someone trusts you enough to come back and put their animals in your care again means so much. 🥹🥰

🐶 OG sausage walks for my original four-legged regular, who still has me laughing out loud every time I see him with his crazy faces! 😂

🐱 Morning & evening cat pop-ins for 4 gorgeous cats, shared with Jen Palmer’s Pet Services

🚕 Weekly pet taxi for a regular off to Glencoe Doggy Daycare for the day. I also worked here for a couple of days too!

🐾 Weekly regular lunch & tea pop-ins for the giants🐕

🖤 Weekly regular lunchtime pop-in for a little snuggle monster who absolutely loves her cuddles!

🐴🐴Weekend holiday livery for a previous client who has booked with me again after being so happy with the care I provided last time, as well as booking another long holiday with me🥰

🐶 An afternoon pop-in followed by a return overnight pet sit for a new client with 3 lovely doggos!

Thank you as always for trusting KB Pet Services with your animals! 🐾🥰

How has it been 2 weeks since I last posted?! 😳

Well, it must be true what they say… time flies when you’re having fun! 🥰 And there’s certainly been plenty of that happening in both the land of work and the land of life!

I’ve also had a very well-earned little break down south with some of my “Landan” family, celebrating my Auntie & Uncle’s birthdays. 🎂🥂 It was so lovely catching up with everyone and having some proper family time ❤️

Of course, in between all of that, KB Pet Services has still been keeping me on my toes! 🐾

🐕 A number of days at Glencoe, mainly helping with the dog walking for both boarding and Doggy Daycare. I’ve loved adventuring with some new and familiar faces! 🦮🌳

🚕 4 dog taxis & 1 cat taxi. Safe to say Krystal Kuga is proving she can transport anything from Chihuahua to Great Dane! 😂

🍽️ A couple of weekly lunch and teatime pop-ins for my regulars, as well as an overnight pet sit for one very lucky little client. 💤🐾

🌭 Walks for the OG sausage-if you know, you know! 🥰

🐻 An ad-hoc walk for the bear-I’m sure you can figure out which one he is haha! 😂

Thank you, as always, to everyone who keeps KB Pet Services so busy and allows me to do what I love every day! 🐾🥰

Last week at KB Pet Services:

🐶🐈4 days at Glencoe Kennels & Cattery

🚕 A taxi run for one of my regulars off to Glencoe Doggy Daycare

🐴💆‍♀️8 horse sport massages with a few of these being their last ever treatments with me before I finish that side of the business in December. 🥹💛Definitely a little bittersweet!

🐶 And I’ve also welcomed back one of my term-time only regulars for their weekly lunchtime pop-in.

So basically… lots of driving, lots of dogs, lots of horses and it’s that time of year where the layers are back on and no I have no shame in wearing my wooly hat-I can’t concentrate to work when my ears are cold 😆
