Porthos & Pals

About Porthos & Pals.

Hi, I'm Sara. I live with my husband and our young daughter and we all love animals dearly. We also have our own dog called Porthos and have two cats, Lord Vadar and Cleo (who is a rescue cat from Cyprus who is now 19 years old and still going strong). We live in a victorian, well maintained terraced house in Clayton Bridge, Manchester. The house is all open plan so plenty of room for your pet(s), with the appropriate flooring. We also have a secure garden at the rear and we are fortunate to have a fantastic park within a stones throw from where we live, with plenty of grassy fields for your dog to have a good play and run around (if required) in a safe environment.

I have plenty of experience in pet care and boarding, doggie day care, sitting and walking dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have regular clients who will travel far and wide for their pets to stay with me, even at short notice/in emergencies. I am fully licenced with the local council, DBS clear and I am fully qualified in pet first aid. I am also registered with companies / websites such as Holidog, Tailster, Dog Walking Now and Care.com. You can find us on the NARPSUK website and www.findalocalpetsitter.co.uk. I can also supply references if required, so please do not hesitate to call or email me so that I can discuss your requirements that suit your needs.

About Porthos - He is a gentle, fun loving, 2 year old Beagle and he loves to make friends. He is very playful and adores our two cats, especially Vader and it is fantastic to watch them play together and Porthos being so gentle with him. Cleo (being quite old) loves being preened by him.

At Porthos & Pals, we value the love and care that should be given to animals, especially when you have to go away or are away at work for most of the day. We know it can be worrying or daunting when this happens (especially if you are considering leaving your beloved pet in kennels/catteries), so please be assured that your pet will always stay with us and cared for as if they are our very own. We can give you reassurance and peace of mind by offering a reliable service you can trust and count on time and time again. We will be at home during the day and in the evenings. We will follow your instructions regarding your pet’s usual routine; just tell us how many walks your dog has a day, what time they have their meals (including the administering of any medication if needed), where they like to sleep and their whole routine is kept the same. Your dog will wear a special Porthos & Pals Dog Tag during their stay with us, so you can be rest assured that while you on holiday etc, your dog will be having lots of fun too. Furthermore, we have access to the largest pet hydrotherpay and swimming centre in the North West, which is just around the corner from our home.
