Our Mission

At Butter Paws Pet Care, every visit is personal, relaxed, and centred on your pet’s happiness.
Whether you’re away for a day or several weeks, I provide loving, reliable care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.

Why Choose a Mobile Pet Carer Instead of Boarding?

Keeping pets at home offers comfort and peace of mind — for you and them.

Pets stay in their familiar environment, avoiding the stress of travel and kennels.
They enjoy their own bed, toys, and smells — their true safe space.

Receive one-on-one attention instead of being in a busy, noisy setting.

Ideal for older pets or those with anxiety or medical needs requiring close attention.

Less disruption means a calmer, happier pet while you’re away.

Price List

🐾Create Your Own Pet Sit Package

At Butter Paws Pet Care, pet sitting is priced per household, not per pet. This gives you the flexibility to create a care plan that truly suits your pets’ needs. Choose the visit duration that best fits your pets’ daily routine. Visit lengths can be mixed and matched, allowing you to build a personalised package that works perfectly around your schedule. Whether your pets need shorter check-ins, longer visits, or a combination of both, we can ensure they receive the highest level of care.

Bespoke Pet Care Package

Once your visits are chosen, we’ll lovingly create your very own bespoke pet care package — made with care, trust, and love.

Welcome Home

The day before you arrive home from your trip, I can make sure you have a few essentials waiting for you — such as bread, milk, tea, or coffee.
There’s no service charge for this — you’ll only pay for the cost of the items themselves.
A simple way to help you settle back in comfortably after your time away.

The Little Pamper

A gentle brush and a light spritz of conditioning spray to finish each visit, leaving your dog or cat looking and feeling their best.
It’s a complimentary touch of care — with love from Butter Paws.
