  I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Julie at Petpals Chingford. Our cats were both happy, safe and well fed. I loved that the time was taken to clean the dirty cat dishes and to fill out a form daily detailing what was done each day and how the cats were. Fantastic service! I look forward to using Petpals again in the future.

  Petpals Chingford really took care of our cats Max and Molly when we went away for a week. We had an updated diary sheet which told us how our cats were doing on a daily basis. Julie was very professional and we will use you again. Thank you very much. Paul and Bex

  A great service - it's wonderful to go away on holiday knowing that our two cats are in good hands! Julie and Jennifer have made us feel reassured from the start, and I enjoy coming back and reading the notes to see what Tabitha and Ruby have been up to in our absence. Thank you for removing one of the stresses of planning a holiday - we will recommend you to our friends.

  I would like to say what a professional and caring service Julie gave me. Having suddenly been put in the position where Daisy my dog was going to be left alone for 2 days a week I contacted Petpals. From the moment I met Julie I felt that Daisey would be in very safe hands,and indeed she was.I totally recomend Julie and will have no hesitation in calling upon her services again.

  Fantastic! Have an elderly cat with health problems that I did not want to put in a cattery and a young cat also. This worked perfectly. I came home after a fortnight to two very content, healthy happy cats! (I dont even think they missed me). I enjoyed my holiday all the more knowing that they were home and taken care of. Would like to thank Julie and Jennifer so much. Would recommend 100% and will be using again in the future. Huge thanks to you both.

  We would like to take this opportunity and to thank Julie for the excellent service, for all the help and time. Julie looked after our dog Chi-chi, a very special chi-hua-hua girl and our cat Blue, who is over 20-year old now. Julie devoted a great deal of attention and time to our pets. She had Chi-chi at her home and visited Blue on a regular basis at our property, keeping a log book of her well being. Both animals were very happy and in a very good shape when we returned from our holiday. Thank you for everything, July! From Mr & Mrs Stone, Chi-chi and Blue

  Just wanted to thank Julie and Jennifer for looking after our cat and hens while away on holiday. Our cat was relaxed when we returned and the daily update was great in letting us know how many eggs the hens produced. They have also walked our dog when we have been unable to and he gets very very excited when they come to the house! Thanks for a lovely, professional service, it means a lot to be able to trust somebody with your pets and home.

  Dear Julie and Rick, I just wanted to say thank you for caring for Lucy and Remy last week, they obviously were very happy staying with you and came home looking and smelling lovely, and in Remys case more relaxed than before. Im very glad I have found someone like you to look after them whilst away, we can enjoy our holiday without worrying, thank you, Joanne Howard.

  Leaving our cats in a cattery was the most traumatic experience of their lives & we were never going away on holiday again. However, Julie has changed all of that because not only were our cats happy & well looked after, our 2 bunnies were spoilt rotten! Thank you so much for the care & attention you paid to our family. Can't wait to use you again!

  We found Julie online and were worried about leaving our cat alone with a new person, but Snotra looks happier when we come back from a trip than she does when we're here! It's clear Julie spoils her with treats and pets, and it's wonderful to be able to fully trust that an expert will look after our cat when we are away.

  Our cat, Gooner, goes ballistic when taken out of the house and our only experience of a cattery left him with Cat Flu. I was nervous about letting a total stranger in to my house to look after a cat they didn't know, but Julie was just great. She gave him all his medication (putting drops in a cat's ear is no mean feat as you all know), groomed him and kept him company as well as fed him. Gooner tends to detonate huge mounds of cat litter from his tray and Julie not only cleared that up his business, she cleaned the bathroom lino too. A service seriously over and above the call of duty. Thanks very much! Paul xx

  Fantastic service, Julie is great! I felt a little unsure to begin with when letting a stranger into my home without any prior knowledge of them. When Julie visited to carry out her assessment I felt immediately at ease, I filled in the assessment and was reassured at the amount of information Julie wanted to know about my two cats including their likes/dislikes etc. I went away feeling completely happy and not worrying at all about what i was going to come home to. I contacted Julie during my holiday and received a great message back telling me how well the cats were doing, this is definitely a service I will be using again!

  Julie I just wanted to say a big thank you for looking after Binkie and Tip Toes while we were on holiday. The daily diary is great - I had a better idea of what they had been up too while away than I do when I am at work. The service is above and beyond - watering the garden andsorting the mail into real and junk. What can I say - an excellent service that I will definately be using again. Thanks Michelle & Family

  I first met Julie after I contacted Petpals when a friend was unable to look after my two cats when I was away due to his work commitments. It was very reassuring to know that Julie and her family were very professional and give an excellent service. Once again thank you Julie for looking after Samson and Rose. Carole

  I have two cats who hate being in a cattery - I've had Petpals Chingford look after them in the house three times in the last couple of months and can honestly say I'm bowled over by the level of service and would not hesitate to recommend them most highly. Whilst I was originally nervous about having a stranger in the house, having met Julie for a detailed introduction before my first holiday, I was put totally at ease and impressed by the level of detail and security Petpals expect and provide. Coming back from holiday to very relaxed cats and a written daily record of how they were, confirmation that they ate, and knowing that the post was moved everyday was wonderful. Julie has even cleared up the odd furball - real service over and above!!

  When we contacted Petpals we were a bit hesitant in letting a stranger look after our little "Precious" but as soon as we met Julie she put us at ease. We are always rest assured when we come home to find our pampered feline looking content and very well groomed. Julie is very accommodating when we contact her at the last minute which we do quite often. We can't recommend Julie enough.

  We made contact with Petpals as we needed a home for three weeks for our 10 month old puppy,Oscar. Julie said that she wanted to meet him so that she could assess him so we arranged to meet her at her home. Oscar was fine and Julie said that she would be more than happy to look after him. We were very pleased that Julie asked lots of questions about Oscar in respect of his likes, dislikes, habits etc so that she could look after him without disrupting his normal routine. Whilst away, we contacted Julie and were assured that Oscar was well,having fun and enjoying his cuddles. Oscar was pleased to see us when we came home but it was evident that he enjoyed his time away! We would definately recommend using Julie and have already booked her for later in the year.

  Just wanted to let everybody know about the fantastic service that we recently received from Petpals. Our dog Tilly suddenly developed a huge cyst on her leg the morning we were due to leave her. However Julie was not phased by this in any way and while we were away gave Tilly the best possible care that any dog could have received. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she spent time regularly bathing the cyst and rubbing in the prescribed cream. On her return home, although pleased to see us, Tilly actually whimpered as Julie drove away!!! That says it all for me! Thanks again, Julie.

  We were delighted to find Petpals operated in our area and upon meeting Julie we realised she was just the lady to look after our 'Little Princess'. We are quite aware we have possibly the most pampered cat in the UK but nothing phased Julie at all! The moment she arrived she stroked Sweep and they seemed comfortable around each other which put us at ease from the start. Julie was so great in letting us know that Sweep was fine and dandy whilst we were on holiday and we loved the little report we found when we got home. The Magnet with Sweep on it is pride of place in the kitchen - such a nice touch. We so appreciated it when Julie's hubby watered the garden too! She is so pleasant to deal with and is clearly one of those people who animals just love...We have already booked her services for later in the year!

  We have a Westie called Pickle who we used to place in a kennels when we went away but upon seeing a sign in our local petshop for petpals I knew we were going to be more than satisfied. I called Julie and immediately she had reassured me in a professional but friendly manner that they would be happy to take in Pickle for the night. Within minutes of being there Pickle clearly seemed at ease, we met the family and we were so elated that this was the case. They were all extremely accomodating. When we returned the next day Pickle,it was visible had a great time and without hesitation we booked for 3 other holidays on the spot. Julie and Rick are immensely talented in their time and patience, they are happy to give constructive critism and advice on certain points on training and looking after our little scamp, we have had 2 lovely presents from them in a magnet with Pickle's photo on and then a keyring with the same, and even had an e-mail this week from Julie saying that she is missing Pickle!.
