• ‘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 Michelle Quigley’
• ‘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 carole rogers’
• ‘We were extremely happy with the service that Petpals gave us. It's very reassuring to know our cats are being well looked after when we are away. Gill Dineen’
• ‘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!! Janine Hawkins’
• ‘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. Katie and Mark’
• ‘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. Jacki and Andrew’
• ‘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. Jill Wright’
• ‘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! Jason ’
• ‘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!. Matt and Kirsty Holme’
