Hi, my name is Debbie and before launching my new career with Petpals I served 22 years in the Queen Alexander's Royal Army Nursing Corps as a regular serving soldier. I have served all over the world in peace keeping and in operational roles. I have been a fully qualified Registered Nurse (General) for 25 years. I undertook my nurse training at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield following a 2 year Pre Nursing course at High Melton Technical College, Doncaster. I am qualified in First Aid and Advanced life Support.
I am an experienced animal owner, having had animals all my life. At present I have 2 dogs, Jack aged 14 years old, a Border Collie Cross Breed. Jack is epileptic and is on medication twice per day. He averages a fit approximately once every 3 months. Jack was rescued from Dogs Trust, Salisbury. I also have Charlie a Chocolate Labrador aged 8 years old, he has arthritis and is on daily medication. Charlie was rescued from a neighbour. I have also looked after family and friends pets while they have been away, sometimes for 6 months at a time. I love all animals, but have a phobia of flying birds.
I intend to complete as many animal related courses as possible to ensure the care I give is correct and to a GOLD standard. I have completed a course in Animal First Aid and An Introduction to Dog Behaviour at The College of Animal Welfare, Leeds. I have also had training in Dog Handling.

Making use of the many areas found locally, our dog walking aims 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.
Our puppy and elderly pet care service offers you units of time during the day to visit your dog(s) at home. During the visit we walk your dog or puppy, play, and if required help with ongoing training, toileting breaks, etc., along with, of course, lots of TLC.
We offer a pet boarding and pet care 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 pet boarding carer before you go away and to see where your pet will be staying. When your dog stays with a Petpals approved 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 have 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 cat sitting service allows clients to go away safe in the knowledge that Petpals are visiting their cats to feed, clean litter trays if required, play, along with lots of TLC.
Our home based pet sitting service is 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 also have varied experience in caring for small pets and exotics and are happy to provide home visits for these types of pets too.
Petpals are equipped with pet friendly vehicles fitted with specially designed 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. We can also help with trips to the vets.
