About Us
Hello, I'm Michaela and my company, Paws and Beans is based in the beautiful woodlands of Epsom Common. I provide a range of pet care services tailored to suit your pet’s needs.
If you are looking for a reliable, fully insured, first aid trained, CRB checked, passionate animal lover, to walk your precious pooch or sit your fabulous feline, I would love to hear from you.
As a lifelong cat and dog owner and having worked for many years in the pet care industry, it is my dream job to spend my days walking dogs and looking after cats. My experience and training, will give you the peace of mind that the furry member of your family you have intrusted to me is in safe hands and has a positive and stimulating time.
Walking dogs can be a messy business if the English weather is its usual wet and rainy self, I ensure your dog returns from their walk clean and towel dried for you.
Dog Walking Services
The maximum number of dogs I walk at any one time is 4. This ensures a safe walking experience for the dogs, the public and me.
Dogs are paired with a buddy for their walk that they love to spend time with. If your dog is not a fan of other dogs, I can provide solo walks.
Walks are undertaken in a stimulating environment, either Epsom or Ashtead Common or Horton Country Park and I provide 1-hour walks to ensure your dog comes home happy and fully exercised. If your dog requires a specialised walking regime due to existing health problems, such as Benson, who suffered from age related conditions before he sadly went over the rainbow bridge last year, I can adapt the time spent together to ensure your dog receives the right amount of exercise.
I provide a 30-minute free, no obligation, meet and greet session with your dog and you, to ensure that you are both happy with me, as creating that trusting bond is important. We will also take the time to chat through any specific requirements you have for your dog.
Pet Visits
Not all cats are suited to a holiday in a cattery whilst their owner is away. My beautiful Bert is one such cat. For some cats, such as Bert, staying in their home environment is the best way to minimise the stress of being apart from their owners.
Out for the day or evening and worried about your dog being home alone?
I can provide daily drop-ins for 30 minutes at a time for tailored feeding, cleaning of litter trays, a garden visit, cleaning up of any accidents, medication application and to provide your pet plenty of love and play interaction.
I can also collect post, ensure bins are left out for their weekly collection and returned and stored once emptied.
Need a few essentials in the fridge or the bread bin for your return? I can also arrange that for you.
Regular photos and updates are provided to give you that peace of mind whilst you are apart.
Pet/House Sitting
Pet/House sitting is also available on an overnight basis, for those cats that require more company or a more structured routine. Such as my cheeky cat, Nobby, he loves human company far too much.
