100% reliable and first class service

I’ve been using Pet Pals South Durham for a very long time and would only ever consider using them to look after my dogs. They are reliable, trust worthy and amazing with my girls. They are in safe hands with Helen and Paul and I can go to work knowing they have had a good long walk through the day! Would highly recommend them

James has been walking our German shepherd pepper and collie lab Luna while we go away a couple of times a year for a few years now . It’s such a relief knowing we can totally relax while we are away. His daily reports are so detailed and also with some relaxing humour which for me makes me even more relaxed . The girls adore him and he does them , what else could a pet owner ask for . I trust him in my home which for me is a rarely the case. James is very professional and will continue to recommend him.Thank James From Em,Jim Luna and pepper

Outstanding service, excellent value

We used Petpals Wokingham & Sandhurst to look after our one year old cat and 6 month old kitten when we went on holiday for a week. We were nervous because it was our first time leaving them but we didn’t need to be: Peter was absolutely wonderful! Photos, latest information, cleanups where needed and lots of tickles and cuddles for the cats.
Outstanding value, excellent service and we’ll definitely be back!

Billy the working cocker

Billy is our 1 year old working cocker spaniel. He absolutely adores Sue. Would highly recommend this service. You can tell that they care about our pets and I worry less knowing that our boy is in such good, knowledgeable hands. Great service.

We used PetPals (Wokingham and Sandhurst) for our house rabbits for a few years. Sadly the buns aren't with us now. But I was impressed with their flexibility of availability and the fact they were willing to water our house plants too! Very trustworthty and reliable. Always appreciated the photos they gave each visit too.

Dog Sitting

We couldn't recommend our sitter Monique more highly. From the very beginning she has been friendly, professional and incredibly reliable. The whole experience is stress free with updates and photos provided for peace of mind while we are away. Would definitely recommend to anyone requiring sitting / dog walking services.

Excellent Service

Peter at Petpals (Wokingham and Sandhurst) took great care of our GSP whilst we were away. We received daily updates and photos which were great. It’s the first time we had left him to go away so we’re quite anxious but petpals kept our minds at ease. Buddy took to him straight away even our old lab allowed Peter through the door with no growls which is a rare occurrence. Would highly recommend.

My cats love Petpals!

I have been using Petpals for many years. They treat each owner and pet as an important individual. They cater for the individual needs of my cats. I trust them.

You can enjoy your holiday knowing your pet is being well cared for

Our Scooby has had a recent boarding holiday with Petpals Southampton. He had a fabulous time judging by the regular photo’s and updates sent by Monique via WhatsApp.
We enjoyed our holiday knowing he was being well cared for- he clearly adores her and vice Versa. In fact I think we were more excited to pick him up than he was !
We have been using Petpals Southampton for many years and would highly recommend Monique.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best thing I’ve ever done for Nala — worth every penny
Me and my cavapoo Nala have been part of the PetPals Sefton family since July 2023, and I truly mean family. Living with a physical disability meant I needed to find something safe, reliable, and loving for my fur baby — and I feel so lucky that I found PetPals.
From the very first adventure walk, I felt completely reassured. The team are highly qualified, incredibly kind, and they care for the animals as if they were their own. They understand how precious our fur babies are to us, and that trust means everything.
Nala has made so many best friends, and her socialisation has come on brilliantly. Her walks are full of fun, exercise, and excitement — a great break for her and a great break for me too. PetPals isn’t just a business; it genuinely feels like a warm, supportive community.
Their customer service is exceptional, they always go above and beyond, and their love for the dogs comes before anything else. Suzie, who runs PetPals, is absolutely amazing — compassionate, organised, and completely dedicated to the dogs in her care.
I can honestly say joining PetPals Sefton is the best decision I’ve ever made for Nala.

Would recommend to anyone

We have used Petpals Sefton for quite some time now and have always had a great experience.
The cats are always at ease with the staff and enjoy spending time with them.
The communication is excellent and regular photos and updates are really lovely.
Would recommend to anyone looking for home visits.
It’s great having someone popping in and out when you are away, keeps the house safe as well as the cats.
Pricing is clear and fair and payment system is easy to use.
Big thank you especially to Jennifer who was new to us this last visit but did a wonderful job with our cats and sent the most lovely updates.
