Enclosures and equipment

Little Dolittle cannot be held liable for costs relating to damage to cages, vivariums, other animal enclosures, accessories (such as lighting, etc). If lighting or heating stops working then Little Dolittle will do its best to replace the item but the cost must be reimbursed by the owner on their return.

 

Food

Little Dolittle requests customers to supply their own dried/live/frozen food, hay/straw, fruit, vegetables and plants to cover the duration of the booking. In the event that additional items need to be purchased (pet food, litter, cleaning supplies or other necessary items that contribute to the health and wellbeing of your pet), Little Dolittle will purchase these and retain a receipt. The pet owner is responsible for reimbursement of these items within 7 days of the customer’s return.

 

Booking

A completed booking form and pet registration form is required for each booking if you are a new customer. If an existing customer requests home visits then unless the information already held by Little Dolittle is confirmed as still correct by the customer, a booking form/pet registration form will need to be completed and submitted to Little Dolittle.
