We are a friendly, flexible, family run pet care service. Hales Tails was started by Darren and Nikki Hales who between them have over 35 years' experience owning and caring for pets including Dogs, Cats, Mice, Hamsters, Fish, a Degu and a Bearded Dragon.
We understand the commitment and responsibility that comes with owning and caring for our much-loved pets. Hales Tails treats your pets as we would treat our own because we love and enjoy being around animals and giving them the best possible care.
Based in Bexleyheath, Kent, we serve local pet owners with a truly personalised service. We get to know every pet and their unique personality, so that each animal feels comfortable, safe and happy in our care.
What drives everything we do
Every animal in our care is treated with genuine love and affection, just as we treat our own pets.
The safety and wellbeing of every pet is our absolute top priority, every single visit and walk.
You can count on us to be there when we say we will. We never let our clients or their pets down.
We send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing throughout the day.
