Highlights
Pet care experience
Casual carer
I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care.
Cat care experience
Jay also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.
Ratings and reviews
Jay took care of our older lurcher Buddy on multiple occasions. He is a responsible, thoughtful and reliable dog sitter who has strong experience with lots of different breeds and ages of dogs. Buddy has some health issues related to age which aren't always simple to care for, but Jay was incredible with him and made us feel really relaxed leaving Buddy with him. I fully recommend Jay as a dog sitter and can personally attest to his care and attention for the animals in his care. He also always left our house clean and tidy and was respectful of the space when staying overnight.
Jay regularly looks after our 6 year old whippet girl, Twiglet. And it’s worth mentioning that Twiglet is NOT an easy dog. She’s lovely, of course, but struggles with being separated from us and changes to her routine. Jay has taken care of her whilst we’ve been on holiday and also just for the day / as hoc babysitting hours, and there’s not many people I’d feel as safe leaving her with. He’s also v trustworthy and has longstanding dog ownership experience. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed.
