Our Services
Home Boarding & Doggy Day Care, and everything in between.
Home Boarding and Doggy Day Care are where most of our pets spend their time with us, but they're only part of the picture. Dog walking, pop ins, puppy visits and cat & small furry visits are just as much a part of daily life at PadPaws.
Dog Walking

Individual, one-to-one lead walks, Monday to Friday, no group walks, ever.
Pop Ins
£11.50 per 20–25 minute visit
A midday check-in with play, feeding and a water change, for pets who need a little company during the day.
Cat Visits
£9.00 per visit
Feeding, fresh water, litter changes and play, a calmer, more affordable alternative to the cattery.
Small Furry Visits
£8.50 per visit
Hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and fish, fed, watered and checked on daily, or as required.
Puppy Visits
£12.00 per 1 visit
Toilet training, learning and play, giving your new arrival the best possible start in life.

About
11 Years of experience one lifelong love of animals
After 26 years working across the commercial and charity sectors, including a well-known veterinary charity, Joy set up PadPaws to care for the much-loved pets who give us so much affection, warmth and unconditional love. Every PadPaws service covers the five welfare needs in full: environment, diet, behaviour, companionship and health.
At home, Joy shares her life with Beau the Dalmatian, Birman cats Oliver and Oscar, and her husband Ian, so your pet's care is always in genuinely animal-mad hands.

"What can we say about Pad Paws other than LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Basil our beautiful Boxer pup was a very nervous boy before he went for his first play date at Auntie Joy's. But within a few weeks of fun, care and nurturing by Joy and the team he is a completely changed lad. Confident and caring and full of cuddles and kisses. Joy knows her trade well and carefully selects the poochies she puts together on any one day. He has the sixth sense that doggies seem to have in the morning of his weekly stay at Pad Paws. Talk about excited!!! If he could, he'd go to see his Auntie Joy and all his friends every day. Thank you so much from Basil and all of us hoomans too!"

"Love Pad Paws - can go away on holiday and leave my fur baby assured she is getting the best care and attention. Joy is fabulous in responding and sends updates and photos to me for my peace of mind. I'm not local to Pad Paws and the journey up the M6 is definitely worth it - wouldn't go anywhere else for 5 star dog care. Thank you Pad Paws 🐾"
