Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Pup Parent - Adventures and Cuddles
What sets me apart from other sitters - I bring 15 years of hands on dog ownership experience, including caring for a Golden Labrador for 12 years and currently looking after Nora, my 2 year old West Highland Terrier. This extensive experience with different breeds demonstrates my deep understanding of varying temperaments, sizes, and care requirements throughout all life stages. Specialised experience - Having cared for both a large, gentle Golden Lab for over a decade and a spirited West Highland Terrier, I understand the unique needs of different breeds. From the calm, steady nature of larger dogs to the energetic, intelligent personality of terriers. My experience spans puppyhood through senior years, so I'm comfortable managing everything from high-energy play sessions to gentle senior care, including medication schedules and mobility considerations. My combination of extensive multi-breed experience, flexible arrangements, and excellent location ensures your pet receives personalized, attentive care in a loving environment.

Jack has been fantastic with my dogs—truly brilliant service. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about and understands dogs, as mine took to him straight away. Now, all I have to do is say his name and they’re at the back door, ready to go! He’s super reliable and has a calm, confident manner that’s really reassuring. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jack to anyone looking for dog walking or dog sitting services. He’s trustworthy, sensible, and great with the dogs—10/10!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Working from home full time provides me with exceptional flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs throughout the day. I'm available to pop out for walks, potty breaks, or check ins during most hours, ensuring your dog receives consistent attention and care rather than being left alone for extended periods. This home based schedule means I can - Maintain regular feeding times that match your pet's routine Provide midday walks and bathroom breaks Offer companionship throughout the day to prevent separation anxiety Quickly respond to any needs or concerns that arise Adapt to your dog's specific schedule preferences My flexible work from home arrangement is ideal for pets who thrive on routine and regular interaction, making it particularly beneficial for puppies needing frequent potty breaks, senior dogs requiring medication schedules, or any dog that simply enjoys human companionship throughout the day. This availability means your pet will receive the kind of attentive, personalised care that fits seamlessly into both their routine and mine.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
In Your Home (Pet Sitting) - I treat your home with the utmost respect, maintaining your pet's familiar environment and established routines. I ensure all doors, gates, and windows remain securely fastened, and I'm vigilant about potential escape routes during entries and exits. Your pet's safety protocols, feeding schedules, and house rules are strictly followed. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can see how your pet is doing in their own comfortable space. Emergency contact information is always kept handy, and I'm familiar with locating nearby veterinary services if needed. Universal Safety Measures - Constant supervision during the initial settling in period Secure, properly fitted collars and leashes for all outings Knowledge of basic pet first aid Clear emergency procedures and immediate veterinary access Regular cleaning and sanitisation of all pet areas and equipment Both settings prioritise your pet's physical safety, emotional well being, and maintaining the trusted routine that keeps them happy and secure.
Pets
A typical day
I love throwing a ball just as much as your dog enjoys chasing it. Between multiple walks, sniffing new smells on the way home or playing with their toys your pet will probably be very sleepy on your return.
