Pet services - Dog & Cat care

Maid in Cowal offers dog-walking, dog-sitting and holiday care for cats.

We only look after one dog (or more than one if from the same household) at any one time - so you can be assured your pet will have plenty of attention and fuss.

For all aspects of pet care we will initially come round to your house (or you can come to our house to see where your dog will be staying), free of charge, so you can introduce us to your pet and we can get to know each other.

We are insured for all our pet care services.
 

Dog-walking

There are a whole range of reasons why people need a hand with taking the dog out for a walk – perhaps you:

• Are at work all day
• Are unwell
• Need to go ‘over the water’ for a day’s shopping, a hospital appointment, etc.
• Have an all-day event such as a wedding to attend…

Whatever the reason, your dog will still insist on a walk - so just let us know what’s needed:

• A regular walk every day/week or just a one-off walk
• A quick ½-hour walk to stretch his legs or a longer walk to really burn off some energy
• A trip to the vet - in Dunoon or ‘over the water’

We provide the poop scoops!

Dog-sitting

Not every dog is happy staying in a boarding kennel, which is why we’re pleased to offer a realistically priced alternative that can be tailored to suit your dog’s needs and provide you with peace of mind whilst you’re away.

Your dog will stay with us in our family house where he’ll receive all the attention he’s used to at home and he can have a great time playing with our own dog and child. Whether it’s for one night or a whole week, he’ll be made to feel one of the family!

Our home has a secure garden where your dog can play, and he will receive regular exercise along with our own dog, Bracken.

Simply provide your dog’s bed, food and favourite toys to help him feel safe and secure during his holiday.

We are happy either to come and collect your dog, or you can drop him off at our house at a prearranged time - the same for the day your dog is going home.

Please note: We will only board more than one dog at any time if they are from the same household, so you can be assured your pet will have plenty of attention and fuss. We provide the poop scoops!

Holiday care at home for your cat

Cats are often happiest when they are allowed to stay in their own environment whilst you are away on holiday. It can prove stressful to some cats to stay in a cattery. We are therefore pleased to offer a ‘home-care service’ for your cat(s).

Whilst you are away we will come on a daily basis to look after your cat - this will usually involve putting out fresh food (and washing the food-dish); ensuring there is fresh water; cleaning out the litter tray and simply giving your cat attention and fuss.

We’ll come round to your house before-hand, free of charge, so you can introduce us to your cat and show us exactly what you’d like us to do.
