Meet your pet carer

Hi, I'm Tabby

Founder of Paws & Play and animal-obsessed based in Altrincham. I’ve always loved being around animals, so creating a business where I can spend my days caring for them felt like a pretty natural choice. I want Paws & Play to be somewhere you feel confident leaving your pets, knowing they’ll get plenty of attention, care and fuss while you’re away.

How Paws & Play began

Before starting Paws & Play, I spent almost a decade working in the corporate world before realising office life (and office politics) really weren't for me. I wanted to create something of my own where I could spend my days doing something I genuinely enjoy.

My experience working in a boarding kennels and cattery showed me just how different every pet can be. Some are confident and sociable, while others need a little more time to feel comfortable. I wanted to create a pet care service where that individual care and attention was at the heart of everything.

Whether it's a daily dog walk, a pet visit while you're on holiday, or a wedding day chaperone for your four-legged guest of honour, we treat every animal with the same care and attention we'd want for our own.

What we stand for

Genuine love for animals

This isn't just a job. Every pet we care for gets the same warmth and attention we'd give our own.

Safety first, always

Fully insured, Pet First Aid trained and DBS checked – so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands.

Personal service

Friendly, reliable care with a personal touch. We take the time to get to know every pet, from their personality and routine to the little quirks that make them who they are. Because good pet care isn't one-size-fits-all.

Rooted in the community

We live and work in Altrincham. We know the parks, the paths, and the neighbourhood, and we're proud to provide local pet care for the pets who call it home.

Let's meet before we start

We always offer a free meet & greet so you and your pet can get to know us before any bookings are made. No pressure, just a friendly introduction.
