Information Ian J. would like to know about your pet

I have alot of experience with all breeds of dogs and I am constantly learning news things about different breeds. Their daily routine is always important and what they like to do through out the day. I try to continue what they do normally to help them settled in.

A typical day

I love play ball with the dogs that stay with me but also sit and having cuddles with the dogs that are less energetic. I like to go to different places for walks from along the canal to walking through woods.

Pets

Many years of caring for Dogs in kennels

Pet care experience

We as a family have worked at kennels etc we look after animals as a family. I have many years experience with many breeds from English bulldogs to Chihuahua's. I have always loved animals and also have horses. I also find that I can be good with nervous dogs, as well gaining their trust I have found that owners continue to bring their dogs to me.

We left our Spaniel with Ian as we were on holiday, it was the first time we’ve left him and we were very anxious. Ian and his family kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us some photos. They are an experienced dog family, especially with Spaniels and Barney settled in well. I would definitely leave Barney with Ian and his family again. Thank you 🙏

Lexi has come home happy after her stay with Ian and his family. She’s a needy girl but Ian was so friendly and happy to accommodate. Thank you for putting our minds at rest.

Once again Ian and his family looked after my dog Arnie while we went on a two week holiday. Ian kept me updated on a regular basis and I was reassured by this. I would use Ian’s service again and again. I would thoroughly recommend leaving your pet with this true gent. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
