Trusted UK-wide short-term pet fostering for owners facing crisis, from hospital stays to domestic emergencies.

What is PetPause?

We Love Your Pet, Just as You Do!

PetPause is the UK’s first dedicated emergency pet foster care network.

We help people in personal crisis — whether it’s hospitalisation, bereavement, domestic issues, or mental health emergencies — by placing their pets in safe, temporary foster homes.

Our goal is to protect the human-animal bond during life’s hardest moments.

How It Works

  • Submit a Request

    Fill out our emergency pet care form with key details about your situation and pet.

  • We Find a Foster Carer

    Our team matches you with a vetted, trusted foster carer in your area — often within 24 hours.

  • Your Pet is Cared For

    Your pet stays in a loving, private home while you focus on your health, recovery, or safety.

PetPause is completely confidential and designed for short-term stays — from a few days to a few weeks.

Why PetPause?

Whether you’re fleeing domestic violence, entering a psychiatric facility, or facing an urgent health issue — you don’t have to surrender your pet. We’ll help bridge the gap.

Real Stories, Real Impact

At PetPause, every placement tells a story of compassion, trust, and second chances. Here’s what pet owners and foster carers have to say about their experience with our emergency support network.

"When I had to be admitted to hospital for surgery, I was devastated thinking I’d have to give up my cat, Cleo. PetPause found a carer the same day. I’ll never forget their kindness."

Sarah, Leeds

"As a foster carer, I’ve looked after three dogs this year. Their owners were in crisis, and it feels amazing to help. One even sent me a handwritten thank-you card."

Tom, Brighton
