Which pet service/s do you offer?

If you offer dog sitting or walking, please tell us some specifics.	As well as daily dog walks we have a fully fitted day care crèche near central London. Each of the carers that work with Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind (CDPOM for short!) walks a maximum of three dogs at a time for a minimum of 50 minutes (not including the time spent with the dogs ion either side of the walk). Only one owner's dogs are walked at a time unless otherwise requested. Where a signed declaration is provided by the owner we like to let dogs off their leads. We often have balls and toys to enhance a dog's enjoyment. As well as visiting your home and your pets while you're away or simply too busy CDPOM also offers a London-wide, live-in house and pet-sitting service and a centrally sited day-care crèche. When our carers house sit they watch over your dogs, cats or other pets and your home, property and possessions. The presence of one of our CRB security-vetted, fully insured carers living in your home ensures enhanced security. In addition to the crèche, we offer three tiers and tariffs for pet sitting: 1) Daycare, which covers eight hours during daytime where the carer stays in the customer's home and looks after and exercises the pet/pets. 2) Overnight stays, which cover a minimum 24-hour period where the carer stays in the customer's home and looks after the pet/pets and home as the customer would if he/she/they were working - i.e. the carer will be away for no more than eight hours (but no more than four hours at any one time) in any 24-hour period. 3) House-sitting 24-hour stays, which again cover a minimum 24-hour period but this time where the carer will be away for no more than two hours in any 24-hour period. This means there is no need to put your pets in kennels or catteries, as your home and your animals are safe and secure in our hands. We can also water your plants. We have testimonials from numerous delighted clients that confirm the quality of our work (see below).
What are your opening hours?	We have a 24-hour answering service, but our office and CDPOM World day-care crèche is physically manned during normal office hours, Monday to Friday.
How long have you run your business for (in months or years)?	Since 1999.
What type of pet/s do you have yourself?	All of CDPOM's carers are animal lovers. They are led by founder & director Louise Wilsher (above at the piano), with her Chocolate Labrador, Otto (b.2002), and British Blue Shorthair, Tillena (b.2006). Mad Smith (above far left) has five cats. Jasmine & Phoebe, who are both British Blues and very, very cheeky, Wolfie a long hair Blue stray, Velvet, who is black with a white spot of her chest, and Widget, who is a Persian Chinchilla. Eva Chesswas (above far right) has a cat called Flower and a dog, Buddy, a yellow Labrador. Andrew Templeton (kneeling next to the piano) does not currently have any pets at home but loves, and is much loved by, all the animals he cares for at CDPOM.
Do you have any recommendations to other pet owners?	Enjoy your animals, love them and cherish them, make sure they are properly trained and socialised from the earliest possible time - and whenever possible enjoy a glass of Champagne with your feet up!
Do you have any dreams for the future?	Overall, my dream is to continue to build up CDPOM's reputation as the best pet care company in Britain providing total peace of mind to all pet owners.

Brilliant service which made us feel a lot calmer about leaving our cat whilst we were away. Wouldn't use anyone else, the daily updates sheet always makes for heartening reading when we get back. Dave Nicholls

1 July 2010

I've started using CDPOM since January this year as one of my cats is very ill. It was a wrench to go away knowing he was so sick but Madeleine was so reassuring and professional that I can go away for a few days and know my cats are well looked after. I highly recommend CDPOM - excellent service all round. I can't imagine leaving my cats with anyone else. Elisabeth

29 June 2010

Cats, Dogs Peace of Mind provide a fantastic service. I often have to travel at short notice and I always know that the team will take special care of my two cats. I am always greeted with happy, contented cats when I get home. What’s more they take care of the house and garden too. Andy always makes a special effort with my cats, one of whom is very, very shy. I thoroughly recommend CDPOM. Caroline Scott

10 March 2010

CDPOM is a truly fantastic service which I couldn't recommend highly enough. Our cats were extremely well looked after and were in fantastic spirits when we got home. CDPOM even left us fresh milk in the fridge! Emily Bamford

6 January 2010

We had Madelaine from CDPOM looking after our cat, Bertie, over New Year. It's the first time we've used this kind of service and were overwhelmed by the quality and professionalism of CDPOM. Right from the first contact they think of everything (including stuff you wouldn't have thought of) so we were completely happy about leaving Bertie at home (as was he, not being a fan of catteries!). Dorothy Leng

They really gave me peace of mind when I went away. They pay so much attention to detail & i was really impressed. No hesitation - I use them every time I go away. Alex Mehta

27 September 2009

I am very happy about the cat sitting service, which was provided for one week time for my kitten. Would recommend this company to all my friends. Natalya Sobolevskaya

16 September 2009

CDPOM are an wonderful company and I only wish I had found them sooner. Robert, my 15 year old moggie loves Madeline and Liz. On my return he is so calm and happy it's like I've never been away. His eating and toilet area are spotlessly clean and on the whole Rob is a happy boy. I can't recommend them strongly enough.The small touches are brilliant. Tamara Fisher

13 September 2009

Very good service both for our cats and flat. They sent a text to reassure us when we arrived on holiday and the cats were in fine nick when we got home. david millward

11 September 2009

I've been using this company for several months now and cannot rate them highly enough. They walk my dog every day for an hour and always leave a detailed note of the day's activities. I have never had a day when the walker has let me down and they let me know immediately if there are any problems with my dog. Catherine Gardiner

3 March 2009

I can't recommend CDPOM & Madelaine highly enough. Whilst on holiday, Madelaine visited my house rabbit twice daily to clean, feed and give her the cuddles & attention she so loves. Upon my return I was so happy to find a bright and clearly very content bunny. An excellent & highly professional service. Kate

21 January 2009

Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind is an excellent service that we often use for our cats-when we return they are happy and we are glad to know they are being cared for by people who have their interests at heart. Would highly recommend to anyone who doesnt or cant use a cattery/kennel as the home visits are so convenient. Alison and Roger

4 January 2009

I have had various cat sitters in the US and UK and these folks are by far the most organised, the spend the most time with my pet (I have a doorman who has let me know how long they stay) and they leave me notes daily so I can see how each day went. Love the service and the people. They are the best Evan

23 December 2008

C.D.P.O.M is the best ever pet service.They have been looking after my tonkinese cat for nearly 8 years. Their service is first class. Kevin

14 August 2008

Could not have wished for a better service. Faultless administration, every detail is covered to ensure your pet is well cared for. I was nervous about using a cat sitting service, but wouldn't hesitate another time! Thank you!! Sarah Chaney

7 July 2008

Very professional service - included a consultation visit & full log of my needs. A diary was there on my return with a daily note on my cats behaviour & eating pattern. I'd been concerned about my over friendly cat wandering off while I was away - Madelaine replied to texts I sent from abroad providing re-assurance. After a 10 day hol I found fresh milk in the fridge! J Ball

17 June 2008

I have written before about how wonderful CDPOM is but I forgot to add that we have used them many, many times over the last year and they have been utterly reliable and wonderful. My two shelter cats are fine and happy when I return after frequent trips. Thanks, CDPOM! Louise and Madeleine! Nell Dougherty

15 June 2008

Tabitha was happy and healthy and even gained weight while I was away. I almost think she was disappointed that I was back - thanks Louise and Joanna for looking after her so well! Rachel Hilton

9 June 2008

CDPOM have been walking my dog twice a week for 2 years. He really enjoys his walks and I certainly have Peace of Mind! Christine Adlem

20 May 2008

We've been extremely happy with CDPOM, having used them 20+ times in the past 2 years, for up to two weeks at a time. Our cat was always very well cared for and attended to, and we always returned with a full report card on all services provided, as well as the cat's condition. We highly recommend them. Robert Klufas

21 April 2008

We cannot be more pleased with the caring, dependable and professional service provided by CDPOM. I highly recommend them! Nell Dougherty

7 April 2008

Cats Dogs & Peace of Mind provide such a great service. We've used them for a couple of years and we can always rely on them to look after our cat. Jasmine's always happy when we get back from being away and we know she gets pampered by the CDPOM staff. The fresh milk is a bonus! Andy Fraser

31 March 2008

I have been using this service for a year now and am delighted with all the care my dog has received. The people are very friendly, great with dogs (mine is a handfull) and totally trustworthy. I would fully recommend the service ceri morgan

17 March 2008

CDPOM alway provide a friendly and reliable service. The cats and dogs are well looked after and do not have the stress of having to leave home to go to the kennels or cattery! Caroline Buchanan

29 January 2008

I was very worried about leaving our new young cat Pushkin over Christmas as she was 6 months old and we had recently moved in. I was thrilled with the services of CDPOM - Madelaine texted me often to let me know how Pushkin was doing, and eft a detailed diary of what the cat did and ate during our absence and even left a pint of milk for us which was much appreciated after a long drive back! Pushkin was very happy and relaxed on our return and I am so glad I did not use a cattery as he was obviously much happier in his own home with someone nice to visit and fuss over him. I will be using CDPOM again and recommend them to others who are worried about leaving their pets to be looked after whilst they are away. Penny Hone

23 December 2007

We have used CDPOM since we got our cat and we are very happy with the service! The sitters are very friendly and we always come home to a happy, clean, well-fed cat. They are usually available at short notice and are very efficient - leaving a note with tick boxes to say what they have done, e.g. changed litter, refreshed water. The best thing is the mini-diary of every visit - we come home to find out what our cat has been up to! For example: "Stabby (the cat) met me at the door today and we had a little play with the ball." The personal touch! Highly recommended. Ida
