After successfully working for over 15 years in the Telecommunications industry, Darren was given voluntary redundancy in 2013. Darren saw this as the opportunity he had dreamed about to change his life and his career into something he loved and that had real meaning – working with and caring for animals.
Darren and Phillippa married in August 2013 and with his change of circumstances, he no longer had the long commute to work which meant he could finally get the dog of his own that he has always wanted – along came rescue dog Banjo.
Darren then researched Pet Franchises thoroughly and narrowed down his search to Paw Pals, for being the most genuine and passionate company out of all the franchises he saw on the internet. Phillippa joined the franchise full time in August 2015, having taught primary school children for 21 years. She too grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, horses, budgies and tropical fish.

Having had many cats over the years, sadly Darren and Phillippa are currently cat less. This means the opportunity to look after other moggies is a real treat!

“I was really impressed by the service offered by Darren at Paw Pals. At relatively short notice we were able to arrange an afternoon of dog sitting for our labradoodle puppy Atticus.
Everything was very professional, with great communication, which made it all extremely easy to arrange. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Darren’s Paw Pals service.”

Enjoying a weekend break or a well-earned family summer holiday always comes with extra thought when you have pets at home. Who will feed them? Walk them? Keep them company? While travelling with pets is possible in some situations, for most owners it’s simply not the best option, especially when it comes to maintaining feeding
Feeding your cat isn’t always straightforward.
