Oochie Poochies

About Me

My passion for animals stretches back as far as I remember when, as a child, we got our first cat and hamster in '84. Years of walking and caring for next door's german shepherd and various guinea pigs and rabbits instilled in me a love of animals that made me realise that 'when I grew up' I was destined to have dogs. Unfortunately work commitments made that impossible and I had to be content with dogsitting for others, until eventually I was able to become home based and we adopted 2 beautiful retired greyhounds, Gordon and Lea.

Oochie Poochies was born after I realised how much I didn't miss the rat race and was perfectly happy surrounded by my furry friends (and occasionally my husband!) doing what I enjoyed most - walking and the company of animals. I wanted to become to others, the kind of person that I would trust with my beloved dogs and believe me I know how hard it is to trust someone, not only to ensure their safety, but also to give them the love and attention they get at home.

The idea of offering a cat sitting service came from a neighbour who was going away for just one night and didn't want to uproot her cat to the cattery and would I just nip in and feed him, give him some cuddles and clean the litter tray? Of course I did and realising she probably wasn't alone I decided to add it in as a service. I will go to your house, feed and play with your cat and even draw the curtains, remove any post from the letterbox to make the house more secure whilst you are away.
