Although Friends for Pets has grown dramatically since it first started high quality pet care is still at the heart of the business and we like to ensure you have a reliable and high quality service from when you first enquire about us to the carrying out of your booking.

Becca is one of the founders of Friends for Pets. Becca's main reason for starting Friends for Pets was that she did not want to put her dog into kennels when she went on holiday and found there was a lack of luxury dog boarding companies available and wanted to use a home from home dog boarding service. Becca loves being outside with her six horses. She has had many years experience dealing with a wide range of animals. She has an MSc in Equine Science and is an associate animal and equine lecturer at a local college teaching animal and pet care courses. She has previously worked as a behaviour and welfare scientist in Pakistan for an international charity caring for working equines. Contact:
