The REAL pet-sitters of London

This post is a real-life story for those of you who think you know what goes on at a pet-sitting company… I’m Janey, and I took over running the Head office in January 2012.

It’s funny now, of course, but at the time it seemed pretty scary – I was only two weeks into the job, [...]

Introducing our newest carer…but we’re still on the lookout for more!

Romin

 We’ve been hunting for additional carers here at Pals4Pets, to look after all the pets we newly register every day. Our newest recruit is Romin, who is an independent EFL tutor. As a freelancer he can be very flexible about when he works – which is ideal for us at Pals4Pets, since he can be available to board dogs [...]

The superhero in your home – the cat

I will guess that if you look over at your cat at many times in the day you’ll find him or her fast asleep, washing, or generally looking cute and cuddly, and so you may or may not remember that your cat has special – no, super – abilities.

We’d love to hear your stories about your cat’s superskills, so do put them [...]

Want to be a Pal 4 Pets? We’re recruiting now!

Seduced by a Dogstar of the Silver Screen

The Guardian reports here http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/22/the-artist-uggie-jack-russell-craze that because of the fame of Uggie the Jack Russell – whose latest film The Artist won the Best Picture Oscar last night - Battersea Dogs Home is getting far more requests to re-home Jack Russells than usual.

It’s wonderful that the canine superstar, who is now sadly retiring from the silver screen, is [...]

New Life for Labrador

Paula, Oscar’s Pals4Pets carer laughed out loud when she saw Oscar run for the first time.  For 11 long years, Oscar was the main companion of an eldery lady, who adored and spoilt him with food, treats and of course affection. Oscar’s life was mainly confined to a house,  as his owner became disabled and less able to [...]

PALS4PETS IS RECRUITING PET SITTERS

Do you listen to your elderly dog?

In the last few weeks, Rusty, my 12 year old Jack Russell cross,  has physically  slowed down.  For example, he will start walking very briskly and then after 5 minutes or less stop, dig his paws into the ground and look pleadingly with his eyes and turn round to return home.  Likewise, when making it clear that he does not want to go [...]

RABBIT AT WEDDING
