I would highly recommend Terri at Lucky Pets. A business set up out of the love for her own animals by someone who has a wealth of knowledge with a wide variety of animals from snakes, to horses to dogs. I started sending my Frenchie to her in May since then he’s met a multitude of different dogs, people, cats and recently horses and ponies. This real life exposure cannot be underestimated as it makes him comfortable and calm in different environments. He shakes with excitement when Terri arrives, doesn’t look back and is happy and tired when he gets home. I get photos, videos and updates when he attends and a debrief when he’s dropped off and I know he’s very much treated as one of their own and is seen as a huge part of their family. Exceptional service with the emphasis on safe socialisation and exceptional enrichment, would recommend highly. More...

Terri was excellent with our two dogs for the week she stayed at ours,especially one being a very large breed who can be scared of strangers in the house, but they loved her to bits, she know her stuff on dogs with no problems at all, they had a lovely holiday while we was away, with games, treats, cuddles and plenty of walks. . couldn't ask for a better service, and was lovely to come home too, this is the first time we have had a dog sitter, so will definitely be using terri again. carm and patience girl, who looked after our house and dogs with care and love..not only that we got some fantastic photos of our dogs while we was away from terri..can't Thankyou enough. ❤️ More...

I'm probably the most difficult customer Terri could have (I run my own dog boarding business), I'm super fussy when it comes to who we use to look after our own dogs but Terri is simply amazing! The dogs love her, they are not only well cared for but actively engaged. This isn't someone that is going to just pitch up and be in your home while your away. Terri looks after every dog as if it's her own. We have already booked our next holiday, safe in the knowledge our furkids are in very capable hands. More...

Over the last six months, Terri has helped with moving my 2 dogs to a new house, to travel in the car and most of all help Toby and us get over the loss of his brother Leo. Her service and knowledge are second to none. Toby and I will definitely be using Terri in the future. He gets so excited when she comes to pick him up and we always get photos or videos. Basically we couldn’t recommend Terri’s services enough. thanks for all your help in the last 6 months couldn’t of done it without you. More...

We had our first holiday this year for a very long time, which we had been putting off because of not wanting to leave our dog Alfie. Terri Symonds, was recommended to us and came to our house to meet Alfie. It was instantly clear she is a natural dog loving person and we knew there and then that we would be happy to leave Alfie in Terri's care. During our holiday, Terri kept us updated on how happy Alfie was, sent us pictures and even video clips of him playing. This made our holiday more enjoyable. Knowing now, that we are able to leave Alfie in Terri's care, we are now planning more holiday breaks next year. More...

My dogs love Terri she is wonderful with animals, she's been my dogs friend for a long time I don't trust my babys to anyone, but with Terri I know they are loved and well cared, with my anxious German shepherd she is done so much, and now she is going to work with my little Charlie he is not very sociable, and I feel confident she is going to change him, I recommend a Terri with any animal. She have something special with them More...

I know she's family but my dog loves going on adventures with her aunty Terri. She pops in and sees her on a weekly basis and enjoys the walks and brain games if it's horrible weather. Always happy after a day with her Aunty. She also helps out with my horse and handles him well (not that he's much trouble) She's very confident with him as can be a little excitable but she can handle the basic horsey jobs x More...

What do you love most about your job?
The contact with so many wonderful characters, each pet with their own personality that makes them who they are. I love getting to know them and being able to care for them, go on adventures with them and playing with them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have worked with dogs for over 6 years, starting with the rehabilitation of a retired Greyhound and then starting a wonderful job at a canine day care centre where I worked with packs of 40 dogs alongside a team. I also have experience with cats, horses, reptiles, small mammals and birds. My love for animals of all kind and a wish to grow inspired me to start my business and do that which I love.
