Profile - VIP

At VIP our aims are simple:

to provide you and your four-legged VIP with a real alternative to boarding kennels and catteries
to tend to your VIP's emotional and psychological well-being, not just their basic needs
to offer a reliable, flexible pet care service when you need us most
to run an honest, caring and ethical business with integrity (see our 'Paws before Profit' pledge below)

The VIP Team

Rani Very Important Paws is owned and run by Andrew and Claire. We share our home with three children and two VIPs: an unruly, energetic rescue dog called Rani and a cool and rather grumpy cat, Rosie.

Kath assists us at weekends and during the busy school holidays when your VIPs need our pet sitting and dog walking services most.

Rosie The team all hold fully enhanced, up to date, Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosures and are fully insured to carry out all VIP pet sitting, dog walking and pets at weddings services. Most importantly, we are all animal lovers who have many years’ experience caring for our own and looking after others’ pets.

As proud parents of three beautiful young children, we feel it important to teach them to love and respect each other, our planet and everything in it.. Our philosophical values are extended to our work; it matters to us that we run an ethically sound business – from the eco-friendly poop bags that we use to the local charities and organisations that we support.

The key to our success?

VIP always go that extra mile to listen and understand our clients so that we can best meet their diverse needs. We have a loving yet professional approach to our work - nothing is too much to ask because we genuinely love the job we do and get so much satisfaction from it! What’s more, we aim to be accessible to all pet owners, whatever their budget may be.

So go to our contact page and give us a call or drop us a mail and let us know about you and your beloved pets, be they canine, feline or more exotic varieties – we can work with you to keep them happy and healthy!

Our ethos is summed up in our ‘Paws before Profit’ guarantee

VIP will measure its success on customer satisfaction and recommendations, NOT profit.
VIP will, in all circumstances, do what is right and good to benefit its customers and their pets.
VIP will never exploit its customers; our pricing structure is fully transparent which means no hidden costs for registration fees, excessive mileage fees or even cuddles!
Others can earn many times more than us – by taking dogs out by the van load and squeezing in many clients per week.You have our word that VIP will NEVER compromise on the amount of time, love and attention that we devote to your pets, nor will cut corners by spreading ourselves too thinly.
