Sarah Richardson launched her Petpals operation in September 2003 after 18 years working in the mail order business, deciding to change career to combine her love of animals and the great outdoors.
Over the years Sarah has kept cats, fish and a pony and is currently the proud owner of Pickle, a working cocker spaniel. Pickle was a ‘Hearing Dogs for Deaf People’ ‘fallen angel’ who couldn’t complete his training due to his gluten intolerance. Sarah has recently been one of the sponsors of Edith, a rescue Shih Tzu puppy who has now qualified and been placed with her new deaf owner.
Pickle loves having 'friends' to stay, and showing them his favourite walks. Home boarding is an incredibly popular service, a real alternative to kennels and we would always recommend making early enquiries, especially for the popular school holidays to avoid disappointment. We are always on the look out for new host families for our clients dogs, so email us if you know anyone who might be suitable.
At Petpals we are fully trained and insured. Our pet care services are flexible and can be tailored to your pet's individual needs. Whether it's a puppy or older dog we like to help with the socialisation and training of your pet by finding them a few suitable 'friends' to go out with. This way they get more out of their time with us and often end up having a longer visit as they're so busy having fun!
We have many cat and small pet customers who appreciate being able to leave their pets at home in familiar surroundings, or even their own fruit bowl! (see picture of Gizmo above). A number of our cats are, unfortunately, diabetic, so we are used to giving regular injections.
To give you peace of mind that you will always receive continuous service, we operate with a small, dedicated team which enables us to cover any staff illness and holidays. Claire, Charlotte, Ian, Jane and Jayne are all dedicated animal lovers, who between them have owned cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs and even a fat-tailed gecko and tarantula!
Please feel free to have a look at our testimonials page.
Sarah is a registered pet sitter who has completed training in the following:

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.
