  • November 4, 2011 by J Smith - Petpals Saffron Walden

    We have used PetPals to look after our dogs and other pets now for a number of years. Neil and Barrie provide a great, professional and reliable service. But more than that they genuinely care about our pets, as much as we do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and can't speak highly enough about them. We'd be lost without them as I know that when we're out at work or on holiday, all is well at home.
  • September 5, 2011 by Brian - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Great service offered by Neil, we'll be using him from now on. Thank you very much for taking care of our two cats.
  • June 25, 2011 by Jenny Clayden - Petpals Saffron Walden

    I dont know what I would without Perpals. I come home, my cats are well feed groomed and happy
  • May 4, 2011 by Gavin Brown - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Neil has been a great help since we started using Petpals in Saffron Walden just over 3 years ago. It's good to know that our pets are in good hands while we're away and Neil has even provided assistance when we locked ourselves out of the house!! Petpals really do offer a great service and excellent peace of mind.
  • March 4, 2011 by Sophie - Petpals Saffron Walden

    I have used Petpals several times now and find them very efficient and reliable. I think for the excellent care they provide the price is very competitive. When I go away I know my cat will be well looked after and the post brought in etc. I could ask a friend but I prefer to pay a small amount for peace of mind and good service.
  • January 15, 2011 by Charlie - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Neil and Barrie have looked after a succession of dogs and cats for us since they started and continue to do so. They offer so much more than a pet care service, they offer peace of mind.
  • December 22, 2010 by Marilyn and Chris Pinchen - Petpals Saffron Walden

    What a superb five star service we discovered. Total reliability and reassurance while we are away; looking after our house and caring for our two cats Eric and Ernie. What would we (and Eric and Ernie) do without you?
  • December 9, 2010 by Linda Cumming - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Neil and Barrie are as reliable, professional and trustworthy as it is possible to be. Our dog, Loki,adores them both and they keep good control of him whilst letting him enjoy himself immensely. Loki was a rescue dog, and not always easy to handle, but Neil and Barrie very quickly got the measure of him. Would recommend them without hesitation.
  • November 8, 2010 by Cindy Ferrari - Petpals Saffron Walden

    The greatest compliment I can give Neil is that I know my dog, George absolutely trusts and respects him and her display of total delight when he comes to walk her provides us with peace of mind that she is not only taken care of but is very happy in his care. As far as George is concerned, Neil is family. On a practical level Neil has always, without fail, been professional, trustworthy and reliable and goes the extra mile to accomodate with any requirements. I cannot recomend Neil and his team highly enough.
  • November 2, 2010 by Sue Armitage - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Finding Neil has been a godsend, Dylan loves his walks with him or Sue and I have no hesitation in recommending him. He offers a very professional service and has fed our cats/rabbits/fish on numerous occasions when we are away from home - a short email is all it takes and piece of mind follows!
  • October 19, 2010 by JM - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Finding Petpals has been a fantastic. Neil and Barrie walk 'Molly' every day and it is brilliant to know that she is having a great time while I am out. They are reliable and professional at the same time as being friendly and helpful. Thank you
  • October 6, 2010 by Paul - Petpals Saffron Walden

    Being recent residents in the Saffron Walden area, Neil has given us the reassurance that our three dogs are well cared during our holidays, Use this great service.
