Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets home from home
I always wanted dogs growing up, and have often cared for friends’ pets when needed, and when I moved to Whiston I finally got the chance to have one full time - my ex-partner’s family dog needed to move, and we took him in. As we’re no longer together I don’t have him any more, and I would love to be able to give the care and attention to pets who need a home from home. I’m comfortable administering mediation (the dog mentioned took 4 different tablets, twice a day) and promise to always provide them with as many walks, playtime and treats as they want (treats within moderation obviously)!

Ratings and reviews
Jack was absolutely amazing, Athena had the best time and I didn’t think she would want to come home. Jack sent us regular updates and kept in touch alongside sending us photos to show how settled Athena was. I can not recommend Jack enough
This was the first time I’d left my dog with someone other than family, so I was naturally a little nervous. Jack was fantastic from start to finish and really put my mind at ease. He sent regular updates throughout the stay, which was very reassuring and showed how well my dog was settling in. It was clear that my dog had a great time with Jack and was well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Jack helped out at short notice and from the first meet and greet his passion for dogs was more than evident. The communication and updates have been really good, the care and company given to Bailey and Milo has been great with the boys happy to be cared for by Jack.
Jack was great from start to finish. Kept in touch with updates and sent regular photos. I felt at ease throughout the day. Arnie had the best time!
Jack was so wonderful and patient with Cora! She's definitely not the easiest of pups (anxious, high energy) but Jack was very open and kept us in the loop with how she was doing plenty of times. His communication really put us at ease and we felt confident our doggy was in safe hands. He asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure Cora was cared for as closely as she is at home and even treated her to a big walk out in the peaks! Jack has a dog seat belt attachment in his car so Cora was properly transported. She came home clean and happy and we couldn't have hoped for anything better. He listened to any care instructions and advice we gave him and even prepared treats for when she arrived. We'll definitely consider Jack again in future as he's a lovely lad too and very reasonably priced.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received from Jack. I left feeling completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands! It is clear Jack has a genuine love for animals. I came back to a very happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and reassurance while I was away. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Schedule
My work is hybrid so I’m able to be at home a lot, and I would never commit to taking in a pet if there was a chance I couldn’t be at home with them all the time. When working from home I can be flexible to ensure I can match your pets normal routine as closely as possible. They’ll also provide me with the perfect distraction to procrastinate!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Although the back garden is unfenced, I would never leave your pet there unsupervised. I do have a fenced and gated front driveway. I would stick to your usual routine as closely as possible - pets are allowed wherever they are comfiest in my house, so they’d have full and complete roam of the house to make sure they found their most comfy spot! I’ll send photos and updates every day to let you know how they’re doing and what we’ve been up to for your peace of mind!
A typical day
I try to go out walking in the Peak District every weekend, so if your dog is happy in the car I’d love to take them with me, with your permission, but if not there are loads of routes locally that are fantastic for dog walking. If they are not as comfortable or mobile when going out I’ll make sure to give them all the fuss and mental stimulation they’d expect in their normal life
