Hello
We're Monique & Harvey, a petsitting duo that has a genuine love for pet care. We've been taking care of pets for 10 years, and have dedicated our lifestyle to petsitting, providing peace of mind to pet owners when they go away.
We're not just here to keep the bowls full & dogs walked, we build genuine bonds with the animals we care for, because we believe that is what brings peace & harmony to a home when the pet parents are away.
Meet the sitters
We're Monique & Harvey, the creators & petsitters of Wellington Tails
What makes us different?
Pre-sit consultation
An informal meeting either in-person or by video call for us to get to know each other, and for us to understand your needs. We may also spend some time with your pets before your trip if they're anxious with new people.
Two full-time carers all day & night
Continuity of care in the event of illness, emergency or simply double the hands to handle a larger pet family (or messes!)
Maintenance of your pet's existing routine
We'll mimic your pet's feeding and walking routines to maintain harmony.
We believe this is key to making your pets feel calm & safe in your absence.
Pet-suitable car provided for all sits
We have our own car for doggy day trips to exciting new places, trips to the groomers or planned/emergency vet visits.
Photo & video updates
Frequent photo & video updates so you can keep up with all the fun. You'll have a group chat with both sitters so that we can contact each other when needed.
Home care & security
We take care of your home by keeping the house clean & tidy, keep up with linen & towel washing, basic plant & garden care and bin maintenance. Your house will be occupied as if you're home, adding an extra level of security.
Fully insured & DBS checked
All the assurances needed to give you peace of mind, we obtain annual DBS checks & liability insurances.
Wide range of animals
In addition to domestic pets, we also care for farm animals, and are happy to help with the workload that comes with this.
We also care for senior & special needs animals.
Testimonials
Honor, Colchester
“Monique & Harvey were the ideal housesitters. Really nice people who were professional, organised & really communicative. Looked after our dogs, cats & house beautifully which meant we were able to enjoy our time away & we came back to a clean, tidy home with some very happy furry friends"
Jemima, Reading
"We couldn't have asked for better sitters. Monique & Harvey looked after our dogs like they were their own. They took them on long walks & sent us photo updates. The dogs were very happy! The house was also left super clean & tidy for our return. Sheets were washed, dried & put back on the bed & towels washed too. The perfect house guests."
David, Marlow
"Monique & Harvey cared for our little dog, Mel, & our 4 cats wonderfully. They took Mel on so many adventures, and gave me photo updates along the way. They gave Mel some dog training during the sit, and she has been much calmer ever since. I would never use anyone else, the perfect sitters."
Lucy, Winkfield
“Monique & Harvey cared for our sheep, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbit & cat over Christmas & I couldn't be happier with their care. They communicated promptly both before & during the sit & used initiative to deal with issues as they arise. I had complete confidence in them & returned to a spotless house & happy animals who had been beautifully cared for & had plenty of fresh treats. I am delighted that they have agreed to sit for us again & would wholeheartedly recommend them to others."
Katie, London
"Thank you both so much for looking after Hendricks! Monique & Harvey are absolutely lovely sitters, they came over early so we could give them a run through of the house & Hendrick's routine. While we were away they communicated with daily updates, they took fab care of Hendricks and we came home to a lovely clean house & a very content dog. Thanks again for everything!"
Dennis, Binfield
"Monique & Harvey were a joy & our 2 dogs clearly loved them. Our 6 month old puppy, Lola, seems much less manic than before we left. The house was left clean & tidy. We received frequent updates, pictures & videos. We would be delighted to have them sit for us in the future."
