Welcome to Petpals Richmond & Northallerton

Please contact us to make a booking.

I have lived in Catterick since 1997 and after a career in the Army was looking for a fulfilling career where I could combine wanting to run my own business with my passion for animals. Starting a Petpals franchise was the perfect solution and I launched Petpals (Richmond and Northallerton) in March 2010.

I have a long history of owning German Shepherds as pets and always take my dogs on holiday with me when I visit Spain and through this experience I am able to offer sound advice on the Pet Travel Scheme.

I have both female and male dogs, Zara who is 5 months and Rocky who is a rescue at 4 yrs old. I am currently taking Zara through her Bronze award at the moment.

I have looked after various types of pets for friends and family over the years and these range from cats, rabbits, ferrets, guinea, birds and cats. I am more than willing to accommodate any pet service you require. At Petpals I am fully insured and trained and also have a home boarding licence which is required by Richmond District council. To give you peace of mind your pet will always receive continuous service and be made to feel at home. I am also able to administer medication to your pets should their condition require it as I have experience of pets with Epilepsy, Osteoarthritis and incontinence.

Ongoing Pet Welfare Training, liaising with local community police, community groups and vets all assist in the provision of a friendly, flexible, professional and personally-tailored service that puts the pets first. Pet sitting and dog boarding are particularly popular as an alternative to Catteries and Kennels, as both these services can be particularly stressful for your animals. Let me cater for them during holidays, weekends away and business trips. Allow me to take away the worries and stresses of having to accommodate your pet when you are unable to.

Petpals (Richmond & Northallerton) are also able to offer a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service to all the forces within Catterick Garrison and RAF Leeming. I have access to all of the military camps and my service is flexible and tailored to your needs. This service is available 365 days a year.

At Petpals we are fully trained, insured, uniformed and police checked. We are delighted to offer a flexible range of friendly, professional services that can be personally tailored to your requirements and your pet’s individual needs. Our pet sitting and pet boarding services include, dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, home visits for cats and small pets, puppy care, elderly dog care, home visits for dogs, cat sitting and a pet taxi and pet to vet service.

We are registered pet sitters who have completed training in the following:

  • Pet Handling and restraint
  • Behaviour, intelligence and socialisation
  • First Aid
  • Care of Older Pets
  • Pet Sanitation
  • Pet ID Microchipping

Jean has completed courses in the following:

  • Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour – Pet Dog Training Course "Bronze Level Instructors Course".

  • ‘I left my two dogs with petpals for the first time last week while I went to cornwall and am so pleased with my decision. Both ladies were lovely and very obviously dog lovers, I got regular text and picture updates letting me know how the dogs were getting on, I also had the peace of mind of knowing that my house was also being looked after. On my return both dogs were calm and happy. Have already booked my next holiday away! Thanks girls. david
  • ‘Jean has been walking my dog for the past few months as I work out of the Garrison area. Her expertise in Dogs has been a life saver to me as my dog can be difficult and highly strung and needs a good walk. My friends found it difficult to handle my dog and I felt embarrassed asking them to walk him. Jean meets my specifications and I like my dog to be walked on and off the lead. she has tailored my dogs needs as well with her dedication and caring nature. My dog is well cared for has a great walk and I am extremely happy with the service she provides. I strongly recommend her to all my friends and neighbours. With jean looking after and caring for my beloved Dog I can go to work with piece of mind and not worry about him. Thankyou Jean. from Suzie and Benji suzie
