Making use of the many areas of natural beauty found locally, our dedicated team of dog walkers aim to give your dog a stimulating and enjoyable walk in a safe environment. These can be individual visits for your dog(s) and or multi walks, with up to four dogs at a time transported in our purpose fitted vehicles.
We can offer you units of time during the day to visit your dog(s). During the visit we walk, play, and if required help with ongoing training, toileting breaks, etc., along with, of course, lots of TLC.
We offer a home boarding experience where your dog can stay in the home of one of our carefully selected, dedicated carers. You will be given the opportunity to meet the carer before you go away and to see where your pet will be staying. When your dog stays with a Petpals family they are treated as one of the family with all the usual sights, sounds and smells of family life, but best of all they will receive all the love, cuddles and attention they deserve!!
Petpals has proven to be very popular with clients that want to leave their cats at home in there own environment, with familiar comforts and smells, particularly with elderly cats and cats that need medication. Our clients can go away safe in the knowledge that Petpals Darlington & Yarm are visiting their cats to feed, clean litter trays if required, play, along with lots of TLC.
A real alternative to kennels, your pets can remain in their own familiar surroundings, with their own routines and food while you are away.
Petpals Darlington & Yarm also have varied experience in caring for small pets and exotics and are happy to provide home visits for these types of pets too.
At Petpals Darlington & Yarm we are equipped with pet friendly vehicles. These are fitted with safety cages of various sizes with a vet bed on top of removable rubber matting for hygiene. We can transport everything from small pets and cats to giant dog breeds such as Pyreneans. We can also help with trips to the vets, your pet’s groomer, or full relocations nationwide.
If there is a service you require that is not listed above, or you have any special requirements, please contact us and we will do our best to help.

EVERY pet has its little ways...
One little dog, for instance, had its own bedroom, its own bed and its own routine, which meant that every night when Sallyann Gray was looking after him, she tucked him up in bed and pulled the duvet snugly over him.
"It was what he was used to and what the owner wanted us to do," says Sallyann, "so, of course, that's what we did."
Sallyann and husband David run the local Petpals, which will basically care for your pets as well as you would, right down to its very special routine.

Sallyanne Grey and her husband David run Petpals (Darlington and Yarm), an all purpose pet service that includes walking caring, dog sitting and pet taxis. They were very helpful when a darlington reader had to take her dog to the vet. But when a few weeks later, the same reader had to take her dog Nell and have her put down, Sallyanne and David were really brilliant. [read full article]
The clocks going back, bonfire night and gathering of leaves in the gardens are all signs that winter is fast approaching and with it the fact walking the dog in the daytime becomes more difficult to the working family.
The PDSA recently published a survey that found a third of dog owners found that their dogs were affected by SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) with the dark winter months inducing depression. Half of all dog owners found that their animal spent longer asleep during winter and 20% said their best friend was less lively. [read full article]
