  • Dog Walking – For what ever reason, if you can not exercise your pet/s, School for Paws can do the dog walking for you. Your dog/s are walked on a one to one basis to ensure their safety and to ensure that they receive the attention they deserve. Whilst out on a walk, lead and other basic training can be undertaken with the use of positive reinforcement methods. Prices are charged at £10 per hour or £6 per ½ hour for a single dog. Additional dogs are charged at £5 per hour or £3 per ½ hour.

We can transport you and your pet to your chosen location, be it a friends house or vets. Journeys to and from one destination within the Shrewsbury area are charged at £10 per hour or £6 per ½ hour. Journeys outside the Shrewsbury area or additional journeys within the allotted time which are not on route will be charged at an extra 30p per mile.

 

  • Home Visits – While you are away from home, a member of staff will visit your house to feed, water exercise, toilet break and provide playtimes and general company for your pets (all species considered). This service is ideal for young and elderly pets which find being at home for long periods of time alone difficult. Prices are charged at £10 per hour or £6 per ½ hour. Prices are charged per house hold.

 

  • Pet sitting – With this service, a member of staff will stay in your home and care for all of your animals needs (all species considered) which includes feeding, watering, cleaning, exercise, handling and company etc. This is a tailored service to ensure your pet’s usual routine is followed. General house hold tasks are also undertaken such as the collection of your mail and the watering of plants. The pet sitting services avoids any stress and anxiety usually associated with placing your pets in unfamiliar boarding establishments. You can therefore relax whilst you are away, knowing your animals are being looked after. Prices are charged at £15 per day and £100 per week. Prices are charged per house hold.
