Pupils to pooches, Neston couple launch pet sitting service
| About my Area – Neston Local News | Published: 29th September 2010 09:17 |
After teaching for 18 years, Jim Furlong and his wife Jayne, decided to turn their love of animals into a business and they have just launched Petpals Wirral West, based in Neston.
Jim and Jayne Furlong who have launched Petpals Wirral West
Jim said: ”It was a big decision for us both to give up our careers. I was running 5 departments as a Head of Humanities, and Jayne was a professional librarian. However, we both love animals and we decided to start this new business as a result.
“With the busy lives people have today, there is a real need for our services.
“Late hours at work means people cannot always get back to walk their dogs, and more people are preferring to leave their cats in their own homes while on holday instead of putting them through the stress of catteries.
“We are fully insured and police-checked for peace of mind.”

New Franchise – Petpals (Wirral West)
We are pleased to announce the opening of Petpals (Wirral West) in September 2010 and would ask you to join us in welcoming Jim & Jayne Furlong to the network and wish them every success.
After 18 years of w

Animals have always been a key component in our lives. Jim grew up with German Shepherds (his father was a breeder) and Jim and Jayne’s cat, Pixie, was with them for 16 years, even enjoying living in the Middle East with them. Currently, they have both Bella and Buffy, who are two delightfully crazy ex-rescue cats.
Our goal is to deliver high quality and professional pet services by providing reliable and flexible solutions for all your pet care needs. Our range of services include pet home visits, dog walking, cat sitting, dog sitting, dog visits, dog and small animal boarding – all with the aim of providing your pets with the same love and affection they receive from you. Therefore we offer a particularly popular alternative to catteries and kennels, for day trips or long breaks. Early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment, especially in school holidays.
We are always on the look out for new host families for our clients dogs, so email us if you would like to offer your services or know of anyone who might be suitable.
