Welcome
to Paw Pals Swindon!
John & Shelley Clarke were the first people to open their own Paw Pals branch.
John & Shelley are the most genuine of pet lovers and have owned a vast array of pets from horses, dogs, cats, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigeons, stick insects and even slow worms!
Owning their own Paw Pals pet sitting and dog walking branch has been a dream come true for the couple who have thought about working with animals all their lives. Indeed, it was their love of animals that brought them together as a couple, meeting one chilly morning whilst walking their dogs!
John has spent the last 20 years working in office based jobs such as customer services management. Faced with the option to take redundancy, John leapt at the chance to follow his passion and searched for a job caring for pets. He saw the vacancy to take over Paw Pals Swindon and sent his application in immediately!
Shelley has spent her life so far bringing up her children, running her own business as well as the home! She now feels it's time to follow her true passion to work outdoors and take care of Swindon's pets!
John & Shelley are CRB and police-checked respectively, they are fully insured and are both members of Pet Sitters International.

What our clients say
We are always extremely grateful when we receive kind letters and emails from our clients. Please find some extracts below.
"We just wanted to thank you very much for looking after Daisy so well, whilst we were away on holiday. It was a great relief to find you and to feel confident that we could leave our darling cat (and the house!) in your capable hands. I'm so pleased to know that she turned up at feeding times so you actually got to see her. Once again, thanks for the peace of mind whilst we were away, and I'm sure we will be in touch again soon.''
Val & Keith Halsey (Daisy)
"We have been customers of Paw Pals since they were first established. John and Shelley are 100% reliable and provide a first class service. Most important of all they are really great at looking after our furry friends. We can always be certain that our cat TishTosh will be happy and relaxed whenever we return. A really great service from people you can trust. We would highly recommend them.''
Alun and Cas (TishTosh)
"Thank you very much for looking after all the animals last week while I was in Tunisia. Sorry it has taken me a few days to get round to sending this to you! The cats looked very healthy when I came back and were pleased to see me, although they did say they enjoyed your company. So much so that they would like you to visit them again for a few days in April! It is so much easier for me to use your service than having to send them out to different people''
Heather Lawrie (Chicken, Toby, Alfie, Charlie)
"The dogs certainly looked very fit on our return and good to know they were having regular excercise, a big thank you and licks and tail wags from Dennis & Scrumpy''
Thea Hudson (Dennis & Scrumpy)
"Just to say a big thanks for all you have done. Faggots tells us his nanny was very nice!"
John Dobson (Faggots)
"Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for being such wonderful people for his walks and helping him in what was his twilight"
Susan Stokes (Mackie, Westie)
"Thank you so much for looking after our little tribe"
Gina & David Malcolm (Tom Tom - Birman, Kira & Wolfie Ragdolls)
"Thank you so much for walking them for the week. I hope they weren't too much of a nightmare! The phone battery turned up in Dewi's bed chewed though fortunately not too badly, he is so naughty! I hope you haven't been put off coming as we would like you to feed the cats when we go away, they are less trouble"
Lucy & Alex Hill (Molly, Dewi & Suzi, The Pugs & Jordan, The Puli)
"Thank you both for the brilliant service you provide, we really appreciate it"
Deb Hosking (Abby & Louie, Retrievers)
"Thank you for making our lives easier"
Stuart Greenwood (Irie & Cara, Labradors)
"Thank you for the brilliant service as always"
Helen Martin (Abraham & Patch, Greyhounds)
"Thanks for the excellent service. You all have helped to make Nemo a happy chappy. We've had him for nearly a year now, thinking back its hard to think we've got the same dog, the daft thing that he is!!"
Diana Hughes (Nemo, Greyhound)
