A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Horndean

Horndean gets rain in every season, frosty spells in winter and short days from November. On a cat round that means checking the heating and the windows, drying a cat that comes in wet, and fitting visits into daylight when the owner asks for it.

When owners travel

Cat visits peak over the summer holidays, Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Outside those dates, weekday visits cover work trips and weekends away.

What should I check on a winter cat visit in Horndean?
Check the home as well as the cat. On a Horndean winter visit that means confirming the heating is still on, topping up water that sits near a draughty window, keeping the litter and feeding routine exactly as the owner left it, and sending the owner a short note if anything looks wrong.
Where around Horndean can I offer cat visits?
Any street you can reach reliably counts, and that usually means Catherington, Clanfield or the centre. Horndean, Clanfield, Catherington, Lovedean, Cowplain and Hart Plain all share PO8. Owners like to see their own village named, so list them on your Petme profile.
Is Horndean close enough to Portsmouth for one round?
For homes near Waterlooville, sometimes. Portsmouth is about 11 km south down the A3(M), and Portsmouth has its own page. A cat booked twice a day needs a short trip, so keep most of your round in the PO8 villages.
