Pooch Pals is a friendly and caring pet sitting family run business originally established by Holly and later joined by husband Fabian alongside Anne and Martyn (holly’s parents). As a family we personally own a Siberian Forest Cat, rescued longhaired cat, Alaskan Malamute and Husky mix rescue.
At Pooch Pals, we understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big decision. We focus on reliable, one-to-one care that fits around your pet’s routine, personality, and needs.
Individual Attention
Dogs are walked solo as standard, and all drop-in visits are tailored to each animal. This means calmer walks, less stress, and better care — especially for nervous or reactive pets.
Safety First, Always
Walks are carefully planned, dogs are kept on lead unless permission is given, and compatibility checks are done before any dogs are walked together.
Experienced & Insured
Pooch Pals is fully insured, giving you peace of mind that your pets are in safe, professional hands.
Reliable & Consistent
Your pet sees the same familiar carer, building trust and routine rather than being passed between walkers.
Clear Communication
You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
Flexible, Honest Service
We don’t overbook or rush visits. We only offer services we can provide properly, ensuring your pet gets the time and care they deserve.
Local & Trusted
Based in and serving Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, we’re proud to support our local community and their pets.
Are you in need of help looking after or exercising your pet? Look no further than Pooch Pals where we are proud to offer friendly, professional and affordable services in Pickering, Thornton Dale and surrounding local villages.
We provide some fantastic services, from dog walking, pet sitting, some horse care* and puppy care. Our services are aimed at people who have busy lifestyles and work schedules, people going on holiday or just generally need help providing exercise and care for their pets.
We pride ourselves on responsible pet ownership, always ensuring to pick up dog poop on walks, allowing rescue pets distance from other animals, always placing dogs on lead when approaching other dogs on lead and ensuring trust is built between ourselves and the animals we take care of. We only allow dogs off lead whom we can fully trust and have owner permission to do so and treat each animal as it it were our own. We also only ever walk dogs together if they are suitable and the owners are comfortable, and never more than 3 at a time.
So why not give us a call today and see if we can help you with dog walking in Pickering and Thornton Dale, or any of the other great services we have to offer.
Important
We have very limited availability for pet sitting during the day due to increase in dog walking. Feel free to contact us though and see if we can help. All pet sitting would take place on owners premises.
