We are a family of four humans, with two adults and two kids aged 8 & 10. We have three cheeky parrots and a senior dog who is deaf and mostly blind named Puppy. Puppy is very easy going and gets on well with all animals.
I'm particularly committed to animal welfare, having completed units in animal studies and spent nine months work experience in a vet clinic. These experiences have given me a solid foundation in animal health and care.
Growing up I had a pet rabbit and a dog, in my teenage years I had a chicken and a cat. After loosing my gorgeous cat, Andrew and I decided to get a parrot as we were renting at the time but I couldn't bare to not have a pet, he is now 20 years old and still with us (our first baby 😁). I also have a long term dream of doing wild life rescue in the future.
I work 3 days per week at home and 1 day per week in the office. My husband, Andrew, is often home for half of my office day, so we will be home more often than not to provide your pet with lots of attention and love while they're in our care.
Your pet is welcome to be inside with us day and night and join us on outings. We will provide your pet with lots of love, attention and treats 😊.
Our son is currently playing soccer so if we are caring for a pet that would love to come to the soccer games Sunday mornings and training during the week, we would love to take them!
Both the kids are very happy to provide as much or as little cuddles and play time as your pet would like. They are not ruff and are happy to leave pets be when they are not interested in any attention. Both kids are well versed with pet etiquette, since Puppy being a senior dog, requires gentle hands and to be left alone if he is not feeling up for it. Previously we had a grey hound who also required gentleness and consideration.They also have experience with caring for, Retrievers, Bulldogs, Cavoodles, and Kelpies. Your pet however would need to be happy and safe to be around children.
My aim would be to ensure your pet feels like they are on holiday and spoil them as much as possible 😊. I also only accept 1 booking at a time so your pet(s) would be our only guest(s).

I could not recommend Tegan highly enough to even the most nervous parent of a fur baby! Even though we were away for nearly a month, we received updates and photos daily from Teegan. Knowing our dog Monty was in such a loving and caring family environment whilst we were away made our holiday so much more enjoyable. We will definitely be asking Teegan to look after Monty when we go away from now on.
Such a wonderful family. Really down to earth, honest and genuine lovely people. I really can’t say enough good about them. The whole family were involved in taking care of our two dogs. We got updates all the time with photos and it really helped us relax and enjoy our holiday. They really did make our two a part of their family. From dropping the kids off to school to taking them to football and running up and down the park.
It’s really rare to come across such lovely people that you instantly trust and feel at ease with. If you’re reading this and looking at their profile, don’t bother looking at anyone else. Just hope Teegan and Co have availability and you can rest easy!
