Need a cat sitter.

Sarah from Waltham

Any good cattery is full now for Christmas. Don't let that stop you going away. I look after pets in their own home, where they feel safest. I am experienced and trained in giving a variety of medications and have years of experience working in kennels and catteries.

I have a variety of toys that I can leave with your cats so they won't even notice you've gone. I pop in and feed, medicate, clean up after and of course play and cuddle them. I can also bring in mail and bins and water plants etc.

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
