PAMPER & PLAY
As your small pet will be boarded in family environments emphasis is put on pamper, play and TLC.
Your pet should feel that it is their holiday too!
All pets will be offered daily out of cage time (unless otherwise specified) and, weather allowing we have safe outdoor areas for them to enjoy a run in too.
HANDLING & BRUSHING
Most of our family friends are used to daily contact and we of course want to make sure they continue receiving this during their holiday.
Depending on coat we are also happy to brush

LETS GO WALKIES
Our dogs are fully dependent on us; they need companionship and thrive from regular exercise.
When using our Dog Walking service, your dog gets the exercise he needs and you don't need to feel guilty.
Nowadays most of us unfortunately have to work full time leaving us with less free time and taking us away from home for many hours at a day. Even when working from home it may be difficult taking the time out to go for a walk.
We often end up feeling guilty that we do not spend enough time with our nearest and dearest, amongst which our furry friends probably rank higher than most of us care to admit ;-)
We can help, not only to stop you feeling guilty but also to improve your dogs health & prevent or relieve behaviour problems caused by boredom and excess energy
OUR DOG WALKING SERVICE INCLUDE:
• Same designated walker every day
• One-to-one or small group walks (max 3 in a group)
• A service agreement outlining all details is created

Our Cat Sitters are all dedicated professionals with a great love of cats. Most have either long-term working experience with cats and/or professional education in animal care.
Cats are territorial creatures of habit and can find catteries very stressful and upsetting. It is generally agreed by pet professionals that they are most relaxed and comfortable staying in their own homes when "parents" go away for short or long breaks. Travelling to and from catteries can also be stressful for both you and your cat. Our Cat Sitting service means your cat can stay home whenever you are away.
Since the beginning of 2019 CitiKiti has also offered cat behaviour therapy as well. Cat behaviour therapy can help if your cat is urine marking, stressed, anxious, aggressive, destructive or urinating or defecating outside the litter tray. The CitiKiti Cat Behaviourist can also offer advice on getting cats to get along, getting cats and dogs to live together peacefully, and taking care of kittens or older cats. Our Cat Behaviourist offers home consultations in London and in some cases worldwide video consultations work as well.
