Home Visits Service

We can provide care for a vast array of pets in your own home from cats, dogs & puppy care, to hamsters, rabbits, tortoise, bearded dragons, chickens and donkeys and horses. Whether you’re out working, disabled or going away on holiday, or are here on holiday, we at Pet Assist Animal Care are here to help. Be it one-off jobs or regular jobs, home visits which you require, caravan visits or boarding at our premises for your small furry or feathered friends. We offer your pets a lot of love at all times.

(Please note we cannot board cats or dogs).

We do not offer ‘live in’ as such, but we can stay over the odd night. You can mix and match petsitting, pop-in visits, and we can do late visits.

Please note we do not live in.

Please  ring me to discuss and I will work out a package to suit your pets needs.

We are fully insured through a comprehensive insurance company (copies of our policy can be seen as requested). Also we are Police checked.

We only advertise through some site platforms such as Facebook page and through our website. We rarely need to advertise in newspapers as we usually work on recommendations from our valued customers.

Please see our Face book page, google and our review page on this website located on the above on the menu.

We offer a free, no-obligation quote and assessment before any care commences to ensure we meet the needs of your pet. This is when we collect keys, fill in paperwork and collect payments.

As you can see from the price list we offer value for money and our prices are very competitive. We pride ourselves on providing a quality service and standards are kept even though we have been established since 2014.

Also, discounts may be available depending on the number of pets and the duration booked.

We have won multiple awards for ‘Best Specialist Pet Care’ with Yorkshire Prestige Awards 2022-23 and 2023-24 and 2024/25

Cat care visits

Home visits prices:

We can come to your home and visit to care for your pets.  

We do a lot of visits to care for cats (I have 8 of my own and 3 dogs and a tortoise so we are used to caring for and handling pets.

You can have one, two or three visits per day. Cats manage better staying in their usual homely environment and do not get stressed as they can when staying in a kennel. 

Cats can mange  for a few weeks and it can be cheaper if you have multiple cats or pets. Our home visit prices are based on 3 cats, but if there are more cats, or more litter trays to clean we can sort out a price for you. Or if you have a number of different pets we can organise a package for you.

We do advise not to let your cat out to roam as they can sometimes wander off, and we cannot guarantee their safety if they are out of the home. But ultimately it’s up to you. If they are free to roam outside we may not see them when we visit , but we can put food and water down.

Whilst there we can collect your post and close or open curtains or blinds for you.

  • Prices showing a * are already discounted prices and therefore any other discounts or promotional offers will not apply.
  • When requiring care for a dog or cat for long periods like a day and night, or weekends we recommend combining pop-in visits or hourly visits with an overnight stay if required. This works well when a dog is comfortable with being left for a maximum period of 4 hours alone, but not suitable for dogs who need someone with them for 24 hours a day.
  • Pop-in visits are for up to 20 mins in duration and can be booked as many times as required or mixed with hourly visits.
