Testimonials

“I can’t recommend Tracey enough she is loyal, always on time such a lovely person and my 10 month Mini Golden Doodle Ted adores her and our two cats Pipsi and Grayco. Tracey has been looking after our house while we go away for 3 years now its great to come home to happy pets and a tidy home with plants flourishing! Tracey has come at the drop of a hat when needed thank you for all that you do for us.” The King family

“Absolutely fantastic service – we always ask Tracey to look after our cat Pepper when we go away. Tracey is super reliable, and Pepper is much happier staying in her own home than having to go to a cattery. Plus we’re much happier knowing someone is keeping an eye on our house while we’re away. Many thanks, Tracey!” Simon & Cathy (Wantage)

“Claudie is 19 years old, has several medical needs, is often ‘forgetful’ and now is deaf. But he is friendly and looks for company –when he isn’t asleep! Needing to go away for 8 days I was recommended to contact Val of PAWS but was concerned when she told me that she was retiring just before I was due to go away. She then explained that Tracey had been working alongside her for some time and she was confident that all should go well.
From the start, a preliminary visit, I was impressed by Tracey’s attention to the detail of Claudie’s usual routine and habits as well the ‘what if’ arrangements in case he was unwell. This was particularly important as he is used to having me around most of the time. Reading her daily notes on my return her attention and caring is clear. Several mentions of ‘meeting’ and purring shows that I’m not the only one happy with Tracey’s services!

“I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of Lola and Sushi (and the fish) while we basked in the sunshine in France. The odd texts and photos you sent to us made all the difference and we enjoyed our holiday all the more knowing they were in safe hands. You obviously love and respect animals and I felt from the moment that we met that our girls would be well cared for.
We will definitely be calling on you again.” Lesley and Stu.

“Tracey moved into my house for 11 days, whilst I went on holiday, to look after my family of 3 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens and a tortoise. She did an excellent job. I came home to happy pets and a clean and tidy house. I would have no hesitation in recommending PAWS Services.” Carolyn Eley.

Our dog Bella loves going for walks with Tracey who can be relied upon to call when she says she will.” Jon Smith

“Tracy is an angel. She has looked after my home and animals….dog, doves and parrot whilst we were away. We returned to a lovely atmosphere in our home and delicious homemade food thoughtfully prepared. All was in immaculate order.” Veroni Gilbert.

“We are very fortunate to have Val to care for our animals, she is completely reliable and really cares. She also takes the trouble to water our plants, we are very grateful for all she does.” Jackie & Roy Wantage.

I want this letter to be a recommendation for anyone with concerns about leaving their pets in the care of others. I am probably one of the most worrying, fussing, over protective people when it comes to the welfare of my 8 cats. I had not had a holiday in 5 years until finding PAWS. Val was attentive to all my wishes and routine and was extremely sensitive to the personalities of my cats. Thank you PAWS for allowing me to go away with peace of mind.” Debra (Challow Station)

“I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Val and PAWS. I have found her service to be flexible, thorough and totally capable. Best of all, she really loves animals, just like the rest of us doting pet owners!” D Smith Letcombe Regis.

“Thank you for your care and kindness shown to Pepsi whilst I was away. I know she was well looked after by her reaction towards me when I returned. I will definitely ask for your help again.” L Ashby.

“Thank you so much for all the care you have taken to look after the girls. It has been wonderful to come home to 2 very happy, calm cats instead of a pair of raving psychopaths that normally greet us when we collect them from the cattery. They are contented and loving just as they usually are, they are beautifully groomed and their cat room was immaculate. You’ve done a great job.” Jane Wantage.

“You are an amazingly kind, helpful and reassuring person. Thank you SO much for all you did for us this weekend to allow the birthday celebration to go ahead. We are indeed very blessed to know you.” Aubrey, Suzan and Sarah Grove.

“Knowing your cat is in such good hands while you are away is so reassuring. Not only that, my house was left as secure and clean as I had left it. Mail was hidden out of sight, plants were healthy and the cat’s bowls and litter tray were spotless!” Val Milton Heights.

“Until we discovered PAWS, we all used to worry about Sam as he was so neurotic. We know that his Auntie Val will pander to his needs and give lots and attention whilst we are away. We go away with the full knowledge that we have somebody who also keeps an eye on our home.” Jan Wantage.

“After using a number of people to look after our 37 year old African Gray parrot who is not the easiest bird to deal with, being very noisy and will bite if given the chance; we discovered PAWS run by Val and Jim Henderson. He is treated as a part of the family and is quite missed by them when he returns home. He always settles down very well with them and returns home with a spotless cage.” Sheila East Challow.

“I can honestly say that if it hadn’t been for Val and Jim looking after our ‘babies’ when cat flu struck, we would have been home in a flash and our holiday over. Thank you both very much for such a personal, caring and nothing’s ever too much trouble service; you are fantastic!” Nicky & James Grove.

“PAWS is an excellent pet care service. From the first phone call to book our rabbits and guinea pigs into PAWS, you and Jim were welcoming and supportive. The bunnies and guinea pigs could not have been looked after better.” Jennette Jefferies Oxford.

“Many thanks for the highly professional and caring way you looked after our rabbits. As a breeder and exhibitor, we appreciate the demands of looking after multiple rabbits. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Well done and thank you.” Dr. A. Allen.

“The Boys and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for coming into our lives and making life better for us.” Lisa and The Boys East Lockinge.

“PAWS is a service of inestimable value. Val is totally responsible and trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone.” N Gardiner Wantage.

“Thank you for everything you did for Jimmy. I can’t tell you how glad I am to have found you, I really don’t know what I would have done without you.” Keith & Liz Wantage.
