PawLocal has been a lifesaver! Our walker Tom is amazing with Bella. She gets so excited when she sees him at the door. Highly recommend!

I've cared for and owned a range of animals over the years from cats and dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I'm now retired so have plenty of time on my hands to look after your pet, I'm happy to walk them as required or to welcome them into my home for boarding, taking them for walks and give plenty of cuddles and affection. I personally don’t own any pets so it leaves me entirely free for looking after yours. If your pet stays with me it will have free run of the house and a secure garden, offering a home from home experience.
