Experienced dog handler offering weekend care

Pet care experience

My name is Jack I am a British expat living in Täby, since moving to Sweden in 2020 I have embraced the Swedish culture of being in nature and enjoying a Fika. As much as I enjoy walking through nature the walks really improve when they are shared with mans best friend, the dog. Spending my time with a dog was something I physically and mentally benefited from while living in the UK which I hope to replicate here in Sweden by being with your special companion. I am experienced with dogs I have been brought up with them from a young age, my family has had various pedigree and mixed breeds such as a rescue Irish Red Setter called Sophie, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Mix called Caesar and a Norfolk-Border Terrier Mix called Ted. My sister has two male Cavachon dogs called Buddy & Ben, my close friend has a young Springer Spaniel called Hugo and through my partners friend’s I have walked Freja a 4 year old Labrador Retriever and a 2 year old Boxer-Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix called Lennart. I have always been around dogs, I have a natural connection with them and I really enjoy being around them. Over time I have developed an understanding of various breeds and I like to research about the breed I come in contact with. I raised my family’s male Border Collie called Charlie from a nine week old puppy which gave me skills in obedience training and taking care of a working/herding dog breed, a breed known for being very active, highly intelligent and sensitive. As an individual I am caring, responsible and reliable. I am always calm and confident with dogs that are in my care, when out walking or encountering difficult situations with other dogs, I always make a dogs well being a priority aiming to make them feel at ease and build their trust. I like to exercise a dog regularly as I enjoy hiking, taking long walks through the forest and going on small adventures, knowing the dog has been on a good and enjoyable walk is always satisfying and rewarding.

Happy dog, happy owner. When I picked upp Sigge and Jack walked away, Sigge looked after him, as if wondering why the fun was ending.

Jack took fantastic care of our senior lab, James. He made sure James felt like a member of his family, gave him his daily medications, took him for long walks - and even went out of his way to let James have a good swim. Jack was flexible on dates (when our trip was extended) - and he even sent beautiful photos and videos of James enjoying himself!

Jag kan verkligen rekommendera Jack! Jack hade så fin hand med vår 16 månaders labradorkille. Enzo kunde inte ha haft det bättre! Han fick härliga promenader och fick vara med som om han var en i hemmet. De bilder jag fick visade en väldigt belåten och avslappnad Enzo, vilket tyder på att han kände sig trygg och nöjd. Så glad att ha hittat Jack som jag nu hoppas att Enzo kan återvända till fler gånger?✨

Jag kan verkligen rekommendera Jack. Han tog mycket väl hand om vår ögonsten Tess, en 3 årig labbetik, under 2 dygn. Vi fick många uppdateringar av honom under tiden han tog hand om Tess i både bild o text. Vi kommer definitivt anlita honom igen!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer a safe, quiet and comfortable 50sqft second floor apartment in Täby that I share with my Swedish sambo who also enjoys being around dogs. The one bedroom apartment has a lounge, kitchen with an enclosed balcony, the grounds outside have lawned areas (ideal for those urgent potty breaks) the apartment complex is surrounded by great walking routes near forests, lakes and the sea. The apartment is easily accessible as it is next to a quiet road entering the complex for easy pick-up and drop off. Food/water bowls and blankets can be supplied but of course you are welcome to bring your dogs food/water bowls, bedding and toys. Please note I am in the process of learning Swedish but confident with giving dog commands and praise in both English or Swedish so your dog will always be under control during their stay and while on outings.

Information Jack K. would like to know about your pet

I like to be prepared so please make me aware of your dogs usual routine for outings, eating and sleeping, any behavioural problems such as, aggression towards other dogs, adults or children, destructive behaviour, biting/nipping, separation anxiety, whining etc. We can discuss this further during our meet & greet. I look forward to your booking.

A typical day

As soon as your dog is in my care I will make them feel comfortable through affection, play and treats, I will gradually build trust and a connection with your dog before a walk is conducted. Me and your four-legged friend will go on a Mini Adventure, a fun way to break up the day for dogs that enjoy nature. During a Mini Adventure your dog get’s to run and play at the local park, trails and nature reserve. It’s a wonderful opportunity for socialisation, exercise, and the mental and physical stimulation that dog’s need! Our walks will be from 30mins - 1 hour dependent on the service you have selected, I will tailor our activities to the individual needs of your pet. Your dog will return from their adventure completely satisfied, towel dried and given a few more belly rubs before being handed back to you. Mini Adventure locations: Ängsholmsparken - Park Ensta Krog - Forest trail Rönningesjön - Lake walk
