Peter Lea - Petpals Wokingham & Sandhurst

Hello and welcome to Petpals Wokingham & Sandhurst (previously known as Petpals Crowthorne).  My name is Peter and having been a very happy Petpals customer for over 12 years, when the opportunity arose to take over the premium pet care service in the area in 2018, I absolutely jumped at the chance. It was an honour to be at the helm when the business celebrated its 20th anniversary in April 2024.

I have a nine-year old rescue lurcher called Alfie and a wife, Lisa (whose age I’m not allowed to mention!) who helps me to run the business, and between us we have shared a home with and cared for a variety of pets including cats, birds, fish, hamsters and guinea pigs.

Since taking over the business we have continued to grow and have expanded our dedicated team of pet carers. We are all passionate about and dedicated to your pets and have accumulated years of experience with most types of domestic pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, ferrets, budgies, fish, chickens and exotics.

At Petpals we are fully trained, insured and security checked and our goal is to deliver a high quality and professional service by providing reliable and flexible solutions for your pet care needs. We offer dog walking, pet sitting, cat and other small animal visits, specialist puppy and elderly care visits with the aim of providing your pets with the same love and affection they receive from you.

We are a great alternative to catteries and kennels, for day trips or long breaks, giving you peace of mind and providing specialist care for the furry members of your family in the setting where they are most comfortable.

We are also happy to administer medication including insulin if necessary.

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

Cats and other small pets relax in their own home and dislike the change that holidays can bring when they are transported to boarding establishments. In worst-case scenarios, they can become stressed and withdrawn when away from their usual environment.

Petpals’ pet sitters in Wokingham & Sandhurst 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 Wokingham & Sandhurst for comprehensive house sitting and pet sitting services, knowing their pets are in good hands.
