Petpals - Wirral West Photo

Jim and his Petpals team have been looking after the pets of Heswall and West Kirby since 2010. A former Senior Teacher of 18 years, Jim decided he wanted to combine his love of animals and the great outdoors with owning his own business and Petpals was the perfect fit for him and his wife Jayne (who runs Petpals Wirral West).

Animals have always been a key component in Jim’s life – he 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.

At Petpals we are fully trained and insured. 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 and pet to vet taxi service (the taxi service is by prior appointment on weekends only) – all with the aim of providing your pets with the same love and affection they receive from you.

At Petpals we are fully trained, insured, uniformed and security 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.

Petpals Heswall and West Kirby Cat Sitting – The Purrrrfect Alternative to Catteries!

Our Petpals Cat Sitting Service is the purrrrfect alternative to catteries! Most cats prefer to stay at home when you are away. They have their own bed, own surroundings, and regular human contact. What could be better?

Petpals Heswall and West Kirby is no regular cat sit company. Our local cat sitters in Heswall and West Kirby are expertly trained in feline first aid, fully insured, and DBS checked for extra peace of mind. As true cat lovers, we understand and respect the unique needs of your feline friends.

Before you go away, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to discuss all aspects of your cat’s requirements. We’ll understand their feeding schedule and usual routines, ensuring they receive the best possible care while you’re away. Our trusted cat carers can visit multiple times a day to ensure all of your cat’s needs are catered for, including playtime and cuddles.

We’ll send you regular photos and updates so you can see exactly what your cats have been getting up to! This provides cat owners with extra peace of mind, knowing their feline companions are happy and well cared for.

Our cat sitting service is ideal for nervous or elderly cats who need to stay in their own comfy space when their owner is absent. As a cat lover, you’ll appreciate how much your pet benefits from being in a familiar environment.

We’ll even keep the house in order and safe while you’re away. From tidying post away from the front door, emptying the litter tray and watering the plants, we give you the confidence to unwind and enjoy your time away.

Trust Petpals Pet Sitters to care for your pets while you are away from home. Our pet sitting service in Heswall and West Kirby offers drop-in visits, ensuring your house and pets are well looked after.

Petpals’ pet sitters in Heswall and West Kirby can reflect your usual animal care routine while you are away on holiday or business by visiting your pet at home to take care of their needs. Despite your absence, familiar sounds and smells reassure cats and small pets, and they soon accept a pet sitter coming in to feed them, keep them clean, and provide valuable companionship.

We visit once or twice a day to ensure that your pets are healthy and happy, administering medication as needed and providing plenty of TLC while you are away. Petpals’ cat sitters are ideal for nervous or elderly cats seeking the reassurance of familiar surroundings if their owner is away.

Our small pet sitters cater to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, birds, and exotics, ensuring they are taken care of, fed, and cleaned according to your normal routine.

Petpals’ regular visits to your home while you are away also serve as a security measure. We can remove post, open and close curtains or blinds, put out the bins, and water plants, all of which suggests the house is still occupied.

If you need a sitter for your cat, dog or small pet, find a pet sitter with Petpals for peace of mind. Pet owners can trust Petpals Heswall and West Kirby for comprehensive house sitting and pet sitting services, knowing their pets are in good hands.
