Paul was a registered nurse for twelve years before a career change took him into medical sales with a market leading company, where he remained for ten years until he was made redundant in 2009. Paul did not see redundancy as a door closing but a as a door opening and seized the opportunity to join Petpals and in doing so he has been able to combine his love of animals and the country side creating the ideal job for him and his sidekick Finn the retriever.
He has successfully managed the Redcar & Guisborough territory for just over a year before taking ownership in July 2011 and has established a growing database of regular satisfied customers who use his dog walking, home boarding and cat visit services.
So far the territory has challenged him to care for dogs from toy Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds and a variety in between. He has also has also many cats that he visits regularly and some of the more unusual pets include a crow, cockatiels and a bearded lizard.
Paul has never been happier in a job and is looking forward to seeing his territory blossom and creating many business friendships with clients and their pets.

Petpals Redcar & Guisborough provides a professional quality service using experienced dog handlers to ensure your dog receives a unique off lead adventure every time. New places, new experiences, play, and challenges are all part of their adventure with Petpals.
By making use of the many areas of natural beauty found locally in and around the Redcar & Guisborough, our dedicated team aim to give your dog a stimulating and enjoyable experience in a safe environment.
Using our expertise, we will socialise your dog with other similar dogs and take them out for a unique adventure. This in turn means your dogs are also mentally stimulated, thus ensuring we return them home tired but happy.
We charge for the whole experience not by the hour or half hour. So, if we decide to go to the beach or the forest for the day, it's all inclusive and your dog will have an experience over a few hours.
Your dog receives a minimum 'paws on the floor' time of about 40 minutes but may well have a social outing of up to 2 hours.
Not sure whether your dog is socialised? - Petpals can help - contact us to discuss how we could work with you to introduce your dog into the programme. Still not sure- check out our testimonials page.
Petpals accepts that the multi walk is not for everyone therefore if you believe the social walks are inappropriate or simply too much for your best friend then we can also offer a solo walk.
Using the same expertise we will still create a walk experience for your dog and ensure they receive the same quality of care and stimulation so that they return home tired but happy.
Here at Petpals Redcar & Guisborough we can help you select the right puppy, and then offer help and support to ensure your new best friend fits right in to their new family environment.
We can further help by offering puppy visits to walk, play, and if required help with ongoing training, toileting breaks etc along with, of course, lots of TLC.
Once your puppy can go out we can start socialising them into the dog walking experience as detailed above so that your puppy gets the best opportunity to develop into a confident, sociable and happy dog.
So much more fun than kennels!!
We offer a home doggy boarding service where your dog can stay in the home of one of our carefully selected and dedicated boarders. Following a very detailed assessment Petpals will match your dog to the family best suited to provide a home from home environment. Our boarders will cater for your dogs' usual routines and lifestyle.
You will be given the opportunity to meet the boarder before you go away and to see where your dog(s) will be staying, providing you with complete piece of mind - ensuring you can switch off, relax and enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge your dog(s)'s on holiday too!!.
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 be given all the love, cuddles and attention they deserve.
Petpals provide the purrrrfect alternative to a cattery.
It's a fact that moving cats causes stress; which is why leaving a cat at home is the vets preferred method of care for when you need to go away. Besides, which cat wouldn't choose all the comforts of home and regular contact from a Petpals carer.
Our clients can go away safe in the knowledge that we are visiting their cats once, twice or three times a day to feed, clean litter trays if required, play, and of course give lots of TLC. All of our carers attend regular training courses so we can cater for elderly or cats who require regular medication such as injected insulin.
We also provide complimentary services to ensure your home is well looked after whilst you're away, for example, opening & closing of curtains, post and newspaper collection, putting rubbish out and of course ensuring the house plants survive the holiday!!
Home Sitting is the traditional service where a fully vetted pet carer stays in your home while you are away so that your pets can remain in their own familiar surroundings, enjoying their own routines while you are away.
The carer will sleep at your home and care for your home as well as your pets while you are away.
We have varied experience in caring for small pets and exotics and are happy to provide home visits (see cat visits) or a home boarding option (see doggy boarding) for these types of pets too.
We have expert exotic bird boarders who would be delighted to look after your feathered friend.
