The Pet Care People in short

The Pet Care People cover Telford with dog walking, pop-in visits, puppy visits and pet sitting, plus small-animal and equine cover for smallholders. It is a one-stop round for busy owners rather than a training school, with phone and email contact published. PDWA membership is stated on the site, and the directory listing records full insurance, DBS checks and canine first-aid and behaviour study.

This review finds the Google record perfect but tiny, with five stars from a handful of reviews. We rate the stated membership and insurance as genuine strengths for a sitting round. The gaps at The Pet Care People are prices, given on request only, and formal training, which extends to puppy visits rather than classes.

Questions about The Pet Care People

Is The Pet Care People any good?

Good for everyday cover rather than training: it ranks third in our table with five stars on Google from a small set of reviews, covering walks, pop-ins, puppy visits and smallholding animals. Formal training extends to puppy visits only. Read the reviews, then ask for your round priced up.

Is The Pet Care People on a trade register?

PDWA membership for two recent years is stated on its own site, the only scheme claim it makes, and the directory listing records full insurance with DBS checks. No training-body membership is claimed. Ask what the membership covers when you request your quote.

How much does The Pet Care People charge?

Prices are given on request only, with no rates published on the site. Describe your round or sitting dates and ask for the total in writing, including any extra-pet or mileage charges. Confirm the cancellation terms before you agree anything.

Where does The Pet Care People work?

The round covers Telford, from its Kingfisher Way base. Walking, pop-ins, puppy visits and smallholding cover all sit inside that patch. Send your postcode with your dates to confirm you are covered, by phone or email. Ask about holiday cover when you send it.

How is The Pet Care People ranked?

It ranks third of the ten dog trainers in our September round, the pick for everyday walking and sitting. Telford Dog Trainer sits just below for reactive-dog work. Read the full review, then agree your round price in writing before the first visit.
