Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog lover looking for canine companions!
I have the utmost respect, patience and adoration for dogs, having wanted one for as long as I can remember. Although I have never been able to fulfil that dream and remain unable to do so full-time currently, my passion for dogs means I am attentive, loving and respectful for all dogs’ needs and preferences. Although I have not owned a dog myself, I have taken care of them through friends, family and other pet-sitting apps. I also live with my girlfriend who has owned two family dogs, one of which you can see in my profile picture, for a combined 16 years of experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Charlie had a lovely time with Jay. Her walks looked fantastic and she always looked happy in her photos. Jay even gave up a family meal to look after Charlie when there was a thunderstorm. Thanks Jay for keeping our little girl safe 😊

Stitch had the best time with Jay this weekend! Jay kept in touch with us and looked after Stitch incredibly well! Will definitely be using him again!!

We couldn’t ask for better care for our Nala. She settled in after only couple days. Brilliant communication and we got lots of pictures 😃 We most definitely will be booking Jay to look after Nala next time we are going away.

We were very pleased with Jay Ollie seemed really happy and settled. And we had lots of photos of him we definitely will use Jay again

Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently work full-time for a company based in the centre of Bristol, Monday-Friday, 08:00-17:00 (approximately). I work from home 3 days a week and am in the office 2 days a week, on which days I will be out of the house from 09:30 until 17:00. The days I work in the office are flexible and can be changed to suit your schedule with the exception of the last working day of the month, on which I am mandated to be in the office. I schedule my office days during sits to be on the weekdays where my girlfriend is not working so that your dog is not left alone wherever possible, even if they are used to being left for the duration of a workday.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and ample room for a crate in my living room. I am extremely tidy and can make any accommodations for your dog that you see fit.
A typical day
While staying with me, your dog will get all the exercise they need as prescribed by you. If they are a high-energy dog or permitted to do so, I will happily take them for walks that extend past the minimum too! When walking, I like to take dogs on different routes each day to maximise the amount of mental stimulation they receive through new smells and sights and am fortunate enough to live in an area that allows me to do this while still remaining in nature and away from busy roads. When I'm at home, I regularly take breaks from my desk while working and will use this time to check in with them, providing mental and physical stimulation through petting, playing with toys etc. If the weather permits, I can also keep the back door open so that your dog can roam freely in the garden if they so wish. During the evenings, my girlfriend and I love nothing more than sharing the company of a dog we can cuddle while we unwind. During previous sits, we have loved taking the dogs in our care to meet friends and family members, and would be happy to take them to places further than walking distance if they are comfortable travelling by car.
