   "Loving your pets like you do!" 

SOMETIMES NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY..... 

TO MY "CONCERNED" MYSTERY NEIGHBOUR….  

AFTER AN ANONYMOUS CALL TO THE RSPCA BY A"CONCERNED" NEIGHBOUR ABOUT THE WELFARE OF OUR ANIMALS I HAD AN  UN-ANNOUNCED AND UNEXPECTED VISIT FROM THE RSPCA TODAY (12/07/07) AT APPROX 11.30 AM

THE ANONYMOUS "CONCERNED" NEIGHBOUR HAD REQUESTED AN URGENT VISIT TO MY HOME?

I WELCOMED THE INSPECTOR & INSISTED THAT THEY DID A FULL & THOROUGH INSPECTION OF OUR PROPERTY AND CHECK ALL OF OUR ANIMALS 

I AM PLEASED TO INFORM ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED 

(AND SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY IS!) 

THAT THE INSPECTOR WAS MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THE VERY HIGH STANDARDS WE KEEP &  GAVE HER FULL SEAL OF APPROVAL. 

IT HAS BEEN RECORDED THAT I FULLY CO-OPERATED & THAT

ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE HAPPY, CONTENTED & EXTREMELY WELL LOVED & LOOKED AFTER.

SHOULD MY SHY MYSTERY NEIGHBOUR WISH FOR ANYMORE INFORMATION ABOUT MY ANIMALS/FAMILY/ OR BUSINESS THEN PLEASE ASK AND I'LL HAPPILY OBLIGE! 

HOPEFULLY MY “CONCERNED ANONYMOUS NEIGHBOUR” CAN NOW SLEEP PEACEFULLY AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO TRY AND GRIND DOWN!

THE INSPECTOR DID ALSO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT THIS VISIT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF VALUABLE TIME AND LIMITED RESOURCES.   

 

Let me take the hassle out of your pet care dilemma whilst you are planning your holiday or even attending that special occasion for the day or weekend - or maybe that unexpected hospital stay. Regular care or just one-off visits call me to see how I can help....

 

 ImageMy name is Tessa Marshall and I am married with three children, I live in Bicester,Oxon.

All my life I have grown up with and surrounded myself with animals.. I love them, they have a special way of making life seem less complicated and stressful (unless you are trying to find care for them when you have a holiday planned or become ill). Which is how this all came about.

In our house alone we have various different animals including chickens, a corn snake, fish, a beautiful Staffie, two rescue Labradors who came to be fostered whilst awaiting a new home and well .. you guessed it... stayed!

The highlight of my day after dropping the children at school is to take our Dogs - Jake, Maddie & Tigger for a walk over the fields.

                            It had been a long hard day....

I used to do voluntary work for Labrador Retriever rescue just after My Staffie - "Barney" had to make for pastures new, he was 14 and had been a faultless friend and companion, but his time had come and sadly  I had to say goodbye...

Life seemed so empty.....

I started to help out with checking out potential homes for these beautiful dogs. I also helped with fostering dogs, so that they remained in a family environment instead of kennels. Some of the owners of the dogs that I fostered and re-homed asked if I would have them back to stay whilst they went on holiday, I said yes without a second thought. And so the story begins....

My own mother has a large dog and after having a Stroke and my father passing away suddenly, was unable to walk him herself. I looked around and found a lovely lady in her area who was able to walk him three times a week. It was again after along chat with this lady that I decided that I would really enjoy doing the same type of thing. After all, people had been asking me to look after their pets for years, ferrets, hamsters, and reptiles, which I had happily obliged to do.

As a previous owner, and rider of Horses, I am also available to turn out and /or bring your Horse or Pony in, be it for just one day or longer - So if you need to go away for the weekend you don't need to worry about finding any cover.There is nothing (I don't think, yet....) that I have come across that I am not happy to look after... I have a Land Rover that is able to accommodate the collection and delivery of most animals! (no matter how wet or dirty!)

I have now established a business that more than anything is a pleasure to do... come rain or shine I take dog's out - (after all they don't seem to mind the weather!) and to check on your animals.

I am CRB checked and insured to walk dogs. I am able to do house visits for cat's, fish or any other pet's that are less stressed left in there own environment. I can also security check your property, water plants, turn lights on and off and get any shopping in for your return.Please take a moment to look at my photos as these are updated regularly and show you just what the dogs and me get up too!!
