Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe and loving home
I grew up with dogs and cats, and we always had three dogs at home, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m a true dog lover and have always felt a special bond with dogs. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs for friends, family and neighbours, and I take the time to understand each dog’s personality. I like to learn what makes them happy, comfortable or anxious, and tailor my care around that, whether that means longer walks, shorter gentle walks, extra attention, playtime, or simply giving them space to settle. What sets me apart is that I don’t treat every dog the same. I take the time to understand their individual needs and routine, so they feel safe, relaxed and properly cared for. I care for every dog as if they were my own, and my goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Excellent care for Cosmo. Jacque’s was reliable, communicative, and handled his daily routine and exercise with great attention to detail. Cosmo was settled and well-cared for the entire time. Highly recommended.
Jacques was truly amazing. From first contact, he was so responsive and friendly. He looked after our 1 year old slightly timid lab in his lovely home. She had a fantastic time with lots of walks and playtime. It was clear just how much Jacques loves dogs and wants to ensure they are cared for, properly exercised and stimulated. He has a lovely soft Alsatian who I think our dog became quite close to. Frequent updates with photos and videos. Our family was so reassured during our 2 week holiday. Thoroughly endorse Jacques for anyone looking to use his services and would not hesitate to use again. Thank you!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Jacques provides for our doggie, Daisy. His love for dogs truly shines through in everything he does. Not only does he look after his own sweet Jessie with such attention, but he extends that same level of care to every dog he meets. I always feel completely at ease knowing Daisy is with Jacques — he treats her as if she were his own. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about dogs.

Schedule
My routine is very flexible and will fit around your dog’s needs. I am at home throughout the day, so I can adapt to their usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, rest and toilet breaks, helping them feel settled and comfortable.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. I have a secure fenced garden, so they will have plenty of opportunity to run around, play and get fresh air throughout the day. I will be at home all day, every day, so your dog will not be left alone while in my care. I’m also close to some fantastic parks and walking areas, including Mugdock and Garscube, so I can provide proper daily walks, hikes and outdoor time depending on your dog’s needs and energy levels. My living room is tiled and right beside the back door, which makes it easy to care for younger dogs or dogs that are still toilet training. I always aim to keep dogs comfortable, safe and relaxed, while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine.
