​​ Pack walk
1hr of walking £16
£9 for each additional dog from the same house
​
The pack walks are with up to 6 dogs at a time. We walk for the full hour, come wind, rain or shine. This walk is fantastic for many types of dog, whether they're a bit nervous or timid, or super friendly and off the wall bonkers. It's a great social experience for all dogs, with many benefits. They can gain confidence from being in a friendly pack, learn to play well with others, burn a lot of energy through play and interaction, and generally get to be a dog.
​
We walk in parks, woods and generally natural areas with enough room for a pack to spread their paws and explore.
All dogs will be on-lead until we reach an area that's safe to be let off. Your dog will only be allowed off lead with your permission, and once me and the dog have become comfortable with each other.
I walk many dogs that aren't allowed off the lead which is no problem to me at all. They still get to have great interaction with others and explore with plenty of areas to sniff, still getting all the benefits from a great pack walk.
​
On returning home their water will be replenished, can be fed if needed, and towel dried. ​
Small Pet home Visits
£9 per visit
​
This service is ideal for small household pets (cats, rabbits, fish, etc) whilst you are away on holiday, or for a few nights, or even if you just have a long day at work. Your pet will benefit from being at home and not having to go through any stress of being moved to an unfamiliar environment, and also takes away the hassle of you dropping off and picking up.
We can even water your plants!
​
It's a short visit but there's plenty of fuss involved, particularly for cats or the sort that like it. They'll be fed and watered, and any trays or waste will be kept on top of.

About Me
My name is Robert Schofield,
​
I’ve lived in Nottinghamshire all my life. Since I was a young boy I had found a great fondness of animals of all kinds. My first true love was Dulcie, our family cat. I came home from school one day to find her sitting in the palm of my mums hand, it was love at first sight, and a bond that lasted a happy and healthy 14 years.
​
I have been employed in the hospitality industry for 14 years, working my way up from washing pots & cleaning toilets to being General Manager of a thriving business. However, my heart is not in serving food and drink, and although I have enjoyed my time in the industry, I’m ready to embark on the rewarding path that is working with mans best friend, be it dog, cat or gold fish.
…and so PetScho is born! Through combining my customer service skills with my own pet caring experiences I have developed a varied service which can be adapted to your pets individual needs. This is my dream work and a as a pet owner myself, I know only the best will do for our loved ones.
​
My wife, Zoe and I live near the City Hospital with our furry companions who are up to date with vaccinations, flea and worming programmes and have both been neutered.
​
ALFIE: a five year old black & white GRUMPY cat. He is loving in his own way, and we adore him. Affection is given as demanded, but not a whisker too much as this results in distress for the whole household. His favourite things are food, sleeping, food and being warm. He’s accepted our dog Charlie into his life and is currently in the process of toying with his emotions as much as he does ours.
​
CHARLIE: not quite two years old, a chocolate Labrador with a heart the size of his appetite. He loves everything and everyone. He enjoys long walks, splashing about in ponds or lakes, running through woods and climbing hills. He typically enjoys every single item of food, and is a sucker for a good old belly rub. He is soft around young children and LOVES other dogs. He stays in touch with his litter brothers & sisters and is at his happiest when we have another pooch staying with us. Charlie suffered a substantial and ongoing injury as a pup which has given me a range of experience and insight into not only dealing with animals with physical impairments, but to also have the patience and love needed to rehabilitate and animal with a traumatic past.
​
Zoe has an extensive background with animals. Having grown up in the country side with dogs, cats, ferrets, horses and on the run up to Christmas, geese, she started working in her local veterinary surgeon from the age of 14 for seven years until she became a nurse. Outside of her day job (or more appropriately, night job) she helps out with PetScho, finding the company of animals a therapeutic break from the challenges of being a neonatal intensive care nurse.
​
So that's a little about The Schofields, should you choose any of my trusted services, I look forward to meeting you and your four legged friends.

“Thank you so much for looking after Nutmeg. I love that she stayed in a family home as she doesn’t like kennels. She came home so happy and tired from all the fun she’d been having. Can’t wait to book again”
