​Q: What equipment will be provided?

The Pet Nurse Cheshire will provide secure 7ft dog leads for all walks, alongside a quality checked dog walking belt to ensure your dogs safety during their walks. 15 metre long lines will be used for any larger field walks. Within my air conditioned van, The Pet Nurse Cheshire uses secure, individual, custom made dog crates for transporting your pets, including side and roof ventilation to ensure active cooling in summer.

​

All collars and harnesses must be provided and regularly inspected for defects by owners.

​

Q: What is a Registered Veterinary Nurse?​

The Pet Nurse Cheshire is owned by a Registered Vet Nurse.

A Veterinary Nurse is someone who has completed a 2-3 year Degree or Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. They are trained in first aid, CPR, anaesthesia, radiography, bandaging, and much more!

The Vet Nurses job is to care for the animal during their time at a veterinary practice. This includes giving medication prescribed by the Veterinary surgeon, taking blood samples, running lab samples, holding animals for procedures, clipping nails, monitoring anaesthetics, assisting with surgeries, recovering animals in ICU, taking X-rays, walking patients etc etc.

​

​​

Q: Will I still be charged if I cancel my pre-arranged dog walk or pet sitting visit last-minute?​​

Since I will likely have had to decline another pet owner to accommodate for your booking, I ask that you let me know 24 hours in advance for DOG WALKING and 48 hours in advance for PET SITTING VISITS, if you need to cancel your scheduled service. If advanced notice is not received, I may still ask that you pay the full outstanding balance.

​​​​​

​​​

​

Q: How do I know my dog is safe around the other dogs on the walk?​​

All dogs are given an assessment/trial walk. Upon owners request or for less sociable dogs individual walks can be offered. The dogs who interact well with other dogs are welcome to the group walks. Should a dog become problematic on a walk, I will politely alert the owner and discuss the possibility of individual walks only.​​​​​​

​​​​

​

​​​

Q: What times do you offer dog walking?​

My current  availability is for group dog walking services! Please get in touch for more information.

In the event of unsafe weather conditions, such as a high temperatures, thunder storms or freezing temperatures, owners will be contacted to discuss alternative walking options.

Weekend visits and times can be accommodated upon request and are priced at an increased rate of £20/hr.

​​​​​

​​​​​

​​​

Q: When will my pet be visited for pet sitting?​

Morning visits are between 7am - 9am
Evening visits are between 6pm - 8pm
Weekend visits - upon request.

​​​

​

​

Q: What if my animal is unwell?

If your pet shows any signs of illness, I will contact you to discuss and follow your instructions. If your pet requires veterinary care during our service, I will transport your animal to your preferred veterinary provider or nearest animal hospital. 

I prioritise your animals safety and health in all situations!

​

​

​​​

Q: Do you offer pet boarding services?​

The Pet Nurse Cheshire does not currently offer boarding. I offer dog walking & pet sitting pop in visits which can be arranged for multiple times a day.
 

​

​​​

Q: How long will the pet visits last?​

Visits will last approximately 30-45 minutes unless otherwise discussed.

​​

​​​

​

Q: Will I need to be home during the visit?​

For all additional services, (such as a nail clipping) owners will need to be present to hold their pets. For all pet sitting visits and dog walking, all I need is the owners permission and house keys to let myself in! 

​​

​

​​​

Q: What other services can I request during a pet sitting visit?​

During a pet sitting visit, I can take in mail, water plants, set alarms, turn lights on/off, open and shut curtains and put out bins for collection.

​​​

​

​​

Q: How do I pay?​

Either before or after an initial meet/discussion and key exchange, an invoice will be made and sent to you with terms and method for payments. All payments must be made before the start date of any pet sitting or dog walking service. 

Regular weekday dog walks must be paid at the beginning of each week.
