Cat care
Cats stay in their own familiar environment while Carly visits for food, fresh water, clean litter trays, play and company, all according to each cat's individual preferences.
Home Visits
The little things, taken care of.
Familiar routines and good company. Personal visits for cats, puppies, senior dogs and other small domestic animals while you're out or away.
What visits can include
Shaped around the animal.
Every visit is agreed in advance around your pet's routine. Medication is included only where it has been agreed beforehand and is supported by clear instructions. Carly will always be honest about what is appropriate.
- Feeding and fresh water
- Toileting and litter tray cleaning
- Play and companionship
- Basic routine care
- Photo updates
- Medication where agreed in advance, with clear instructions
Who visits are for
More than dog walking.
Puppy visits
Toileting opportunities, feeding, play and companionship for puppies not yet ready for longer periods alone or a full walking routine, tailored to age, needs and your instructions.
Senior dogs
A slower pace, a garden visit, companionship or help maintaining an established routine, flexible around mobility and individual comfort.
Other animals
Cats, multi-pet households, and even ducks and chickens have all been part of Mary Pawpins bookings. Other small domestic animals can be considered where Carly has the right experience for their needs.
Visit lengths and pricing.
Pop-in visits of 15 minutes and longer visits of 30 or 60 minutes are available, with multi-visit arrangements for days away. Current prices are confirmed when you enquire, so the quote reflects your pet, your location and the routine they need.
Kind words
Settled at home.
Carly is just a total treasure. She looked after our two cats whilst we were on holiday, one of whom is elderly and needs a bit of extra TLC. She sent us regular photos and videos and looked after our boys so well. We came back to two very happy, healthy cats. They obviously adored her. This lady is just solid gold...

Pollys best pal, now she's getting older and slowing down she loves it when Carly comes and sits with her for an hour and lets her roam the garden and have a sneaky wee treat. So glad to have someone so understanding and reliable.

Since our dog is a little older and set in his ways, we asked Carly to visit him at our home. She accommodated his routine and updates us on his expeditions, keeping in touch, going above and beyond with photos and updates. When we got home it was as if we had never been gone. He was perfectly content. Having that peace of mind, that your four legged friend is loved and taken care of, allowed us to enjoy our trip even more. We will absolutely be requesting Carly's services again soon.
