Are you looking for a dog walker or pet sitter in Stockton-on-Tees?
Paw Pals offers professional dog walking and pet sitting services in Stockton-on-Tees.

Welcome to Paw Pals Stockton!

Jackie and Phil Spence from Ingleby Barwick in Stockton-on-Tees were the first Paw Pals branch to open in the north of England offering professional pet sitting and dog walking service.

Their genuine and caring nature make them ideal Paw Pals and you are bound to be impressed by their enthusiasm to take the very best care of your pets.

The couple were married in 2007 on safari in South Africa, where the first seed was sown for them wanting to work closely with animals, albeit domestic ones and not elephants and lions!

Jackie can sometimes be found showing dogs and cats, entering obedience and agility competitions, as well as fundraising for Saltburn Animal Rescue and doing home checks. She is currently working towards the Kennel Club's Good Citizen Dog Scheme with her beloved dog Gibson – they're aiming for the gold award!

Jackie and Phil have long been involved in animal rescue and have fostered many unwanted pets. Their current brood include Gibson and three cats, Tigger, Spider and Dino, all from the Cat Orphanage.

Paw Pals Stockton also has a small animal hotel where your rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice can have holiday too in luxurious, cosy accommodation!

Jackie and Phil are CRB and police-checked respectively, they are fully insured and are both members of Pet Sitters International.

Paw Pals Stockton has also been granted a full licence for dog boarding from Stockton on Tees Borough Council following a thorough vet's inspection (a mandatory legal requirement for boarding pets).

We have had a fabulous and stress-free holiday knowing they were looked after. We wont hesitate to use you again, in fact if this horrible weather continues we are off again soon!! We will certainly recommend you to our many pet friendly friends."

We can now enjoy our future holidays worry free knowing that Gizmo is enjoying his holiday with you."

recommend you to all my friends."

"Thank you Paw Pals Jackie and Phil for looking after Bella for us whilst we were away.  We will certainly be using your services again in the future.  Thanks again."
Mr & Mrs Kelly-Wilson, Ingleby Barwick (Bella, Sharpei)

"I worked with Jackie for seven years and when she started on her new venture I was the first to get my dates booked in, for Jasper our beautiful golden Labrador. Jackie walks Jasper on a regular basis and Jasper struck up a instant rapport with Jackie. We both love the way Jasp is walked individually, as it makes him feel special! He is always shattered upon his return and is always left lovely and clean, what a relief as he loves mud!. It is reassuring to know that whenever we need Jackie and Phil they are only a phone call away and we trust them completely with our special member of our family."
Frances and John Cox , Ingleby Barwick (Jasper , Golden Labrador)

"Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for a wonderful service.  Ruby and Sally love to see you and really enjoy their walks with you.  The way your service is flexible and responsive is a life saver to enusre Sally and Ruby are looked after when we have to work.  I have told everyone about your service and how good it is.  Thanks once again and long may it continue."
Nicola Finnegan, Acklam (Ruby & Sally , Retrievers)

"I would like to thank you for looking after Penny, I thought your service was fabulous and Penny really enjoyed herself. I have told lots of people about you when I have been out walking with her and handed out your leaflets. I hope you get some business from them and I will definitely use your service again. Thank you once again."
Karen Taylor, Norton (Penny, Black Labrador)

"I just wanted to thank Jackie and Phil (Stockton branch) for looking after our two lurchers, Kaya and Fern. They appeared very relaxed and content when we arrived home- they were obviously well looked after. I especially appreciated that Jackie cleaned up after Fern's accidents (and Fern didn't do things by half!) with no fuss. The daily texts to reassure me that all was going well were also fantastic. I will be quite happy to leave them for a week later on in the year, knowing that they'll be well looked after! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paw Pals Stockton to other dog owners."
Laura Fleming, Ingleby Barwick (Kaya and Fern, Lurchers)
