Tails of Pawfection - Who are we?

Founder

Gilly Mulford

Having owned cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, ferrets and horses, I know how important our pets are to us. Not only do they enhance our lives by giving unconditional love, they have a huge impact on our physical and mental well-being.

It is only right that we afford them the same love and attention that they give us.

Not all animals are suited to boarding environments and this is why we offer a service that accommodates them in their own home. Our current clients include cats, dogs, chickens & cockerels, ducks, guinea pigs, tortoise, parrots and bees.

I have a passion for giving you back precious time so you too can enjoy having a break when you need it, and I get to share cuddles with the most amazing pets!

I am also the founder of Your Household PA. a home and business admin support service, giving you back precious time.

I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon.

Best,

Gilly

Pet & House Sitting Associates

Caroline & Martin

Associate Pet Sitters

Caroline and her husband Martin have over 18 years’ experience of cat and dog ownership, with Martin also owning rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. He also rescued battery hens as a youngster and nursed them back to happy, fully feathered, egg laying ‘pets’.
Their dog was a rehomed rescue with some interesting quirks, (namely cats, lawnmowers, wheels, roads, and other dogs), so they have years of experience in managing happy and safe walks, whilst maintaining high levels of vigilance for potential issues!
Their own pets were never put into kennels at holiday times because they know how important it is for animals to have their routines maintained in their own safe and familiar environment.

Caroline and Martin have taken the opportunity to retire early from the rat race, and whilst owning their own pet is not possible at this time, due to some travelling commitments, they have the passion, time, energy and enthusiasm to care for your pets in your home. They also have experience in administering medications.
We have received lovely feedback from owners. Read more here...

Letitia & Tom

Associate Pet Sitters

Letitia and Tom have been pet and house sitting regularly, for over 4 years, and have been animal lovers all their lives. In fact, they both wanted to be vets for years!

They both grew up with animals and have looked after many diﬀerent animals during their time as pet sitters, all with diﬀerent personalities and needs. They even volunteered on an animal sanctuary for a time, providing care to the animals there that had been rescued.

Letitia and Tom love nothing more than to spend their time with animals and you can rest assured that your pets will be well cared for with them.

Tom is a guitar teacher and works freelance in the events industry. Letitia works part-time from home.

They both love to travel and explore new countries and are currently converting their own camper to do just that!

Rob

Associate Pet Sitter

Rob is a life-long dog lover, who has recently discovered the joys of dog-sitting. He is lucky to have a lifestyle where he travels abroad regularly, but this means that unfortunately he can't have his own dog easily.

Rob loves the nature of dogs and their positive energy, getting out and about in the open air and countryside. Sometimes he thinks that he enjoys a walk almost as much as the dogs, but is well aware that for most dogs, exercise is the most important thing in their daily lives.

Rob has his own online business and so is able to work from almost anywhere, which allows him to be extremely flexible and able to sit at short notice.

Rob has received some amazing feedback from owners who were extremely nervous about leaving their young Collie. Read more here...
