Pet Home and Garden Care All Year Round

About Me

A Bit About Me

This page is to let you know a little about me, and the reasons behind offering the services explained on these pages.
My name is Dorothy (I also answer to Dot among other things!)
I live in Milton Keynes with Jim, my partner of eight years, and our three house cats, Joshua, Jasper and Jake. I have three grown up children and three Grandchildren. Jim will be helping me with weekend visits and my eldest son, Adam, will assist in heavier garden work.


I was born in Slough in 1948 the youngest of five children. One of the earliest pictures of me is in my pram surrounded by baby rabbits. A very early memory is of being sent down the garden to feed the chickens and the dread of knowing the cockerel would attack my hand as I scattered the corn in the run. It may sound idyllic but, unfortunately, it was all to help the post war food shortage, so we won't go any further into that.
Things soon changed and looking back, I really did have an idyllic childhood surrounded by a menagerie of animals that were now purely pets, and a very happy and busy household.


By my mid twenties I was married with three young children and guess what else? Yes, a house full of assorted animals. Over the years this has included just about everything from stick insects to snakes, with lots of furry things in between. We always had a dog and enjoyed their companionship but cats are my passion and have fascinated me all my life. For a few years when the children were young and time allowed, I showed and bred Siamese and Devon Rex cats.


And so to the present day, it's me, Jim and our three "boys". Most of our spare time is taken up by our garden. It has changed out of all recognition in the eight years we have lived here. It started out laid to lawn with narrow border all around and a small pond. It is now how you see it on the pictures page. We keep saying "that's it, It's finished", but it never is, along comes another project and we're off again!


So why Four Seasons? As with many life changing events it happened more by accident than design. I had been a home carer with the local council for five years and was looking for a change in direction but did not know which way to go. A chance meeting with Annette, who for two years had looked after our cats etc when we were away, fired my imagination. She had decided she wanted more time to do other things and suggested I took over part of her customer base. The seed was sown and quickly grew into Four Seasons.


We hope the range of services offered will mean that our clients can have complete peace of mind while away from home, whether on holiday or at work.
We have based these services on what we want for our pets, home and garden, when we are away from home, and, just as importantly on our return. We hope they are what you, our potential customers, want for some of the most important things in your life,

YOUR PETS YOUR HOME AND YOUR GARDEN
