Live-in home and companion guardianship for people who care deeply about their animals and their home.
We offer a discreet, live-in service designed to provide complete peace of mind while you are away. Your home remains lived in, your companion animals continue within their familiar routines, and everything is cared for with quiet presence, attentiveness and respect.
We provide calm, attentive care tailored to each animal so they feel secure and settled in their own home. We look after dogs and cats of all legal breeds, as well as rescue animals and other pet companions, from small furries and birds to reptiles and more specialised animals.
Our care commonly includes:
Animals of all ages and temperaments
Senior animals and those requiring medication or closer monitoring
Rescue animals sensitive to change
Feeding, walks, play, companionship, and calm reassurance
Maintaining established routines, walking routes, and household rhythms
We follow your pet’s usual schedule closely so they experience continuity while you’re away. Photo or video updates can be sent as often or as lightly as you prefer, so you can stay connected or fully switch off with peace of mind.
(For home owners with / or with out animals)
We provide thoughtful, professional care of your home while you are away.
This typically includes:
Ensuring your home remains secure and lived-in
Collecting post and accepting deliveries
Recycling management and basic household routines
Plant care, watering and light gardening
Leaving your home clean and orderly for your return .
We have experience caring for Grade II listed buildings and homes requiring extra sensitivity, and we understand the importance of discretion, care, and respect for unique properties.
Only agreed areas of the home are used, and your privacy is always maintained.
(Where applicable)
For homeowners with a separate guest space or short-let property, we have experience providing discreet oversight during your absence.
This may include:
Presence and general oversight of the property
Liaising with cleaners or key contacts (by prior agreement)
Ensuring standards are maintained while you are away
This service is offered selectively and agreed in advance.
Where helpful, we are able to arrive before your departure so that companion animals experience a calm and seamless transition of care.
We are equally attentive to your return. The home is left orderly, keys arranged as agreed, and if preferred we are happy to remain present for a clear and relaxed handover.
Each household is different, and arrangements are always guided by what feels most comfortable for you and your home.
Our aim is simply that both departure and return feel calm, natural and effortless.
