From mid December until the beginning of January I looked after a number of animals. It involved visiting them daily to check they were all OK, feeding them and changing water. I also had to clean out the chicken runs and collect the eggs. The ponies needed hay daily as there was not a huge amount of grass.

For 12 days I am looking after Molly the Westie and two cats, Arthur and Cocoa. Molly has used our home boarding service on a few occasions too. She is very sweet!

I looked after Magnus, a Basset Griffon Vendeen, and Tilly, a Westie, for two and a half weeks. I house sit regularly for this family so know the dogs very well. They’ve also used our home boarding service on several occasions.
