Pet care experience

Pawsitively the best care

Hi, I’m Jeff - I’m recently retired and keen to fill my spare time doing something I genuinely love: caring for dogs. Over the years I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with family pets of all shapes and sizes, from small to medium and large dog breeds. I have looked after family and friends dogs, walking and sitting. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels and confident walking dogs on and off lead (always depending on your dogs recall ability and your preferences.) My wife and I are both passionate about all dogs and treat them like family. Our home is located in the west end of Barry and we have a secure rear garden for safe playtime. We are also lucky to live within close walking distance of a country park, other parks and gardens, sea and beaches, the perfect environment for stimulation and enjoyable walks for your precious pets. I drive which allows me be able to take your dogs to other great walking spots. - if you prefer I am also happy to collect your pet. Having recently lost our beloved and special boy Max, I’m looking forward to spending time with dogs again and giving them the care, love, attention and exercise they deserve. I also have experience in administering medication and always happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable and settled whilst in our care. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate as a consequence of working with vulnerable people, and can provide information upon request. When I have free time I enjoy riding my motorbike, DIY projects, walking and keeping active at the gym. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet appointment before hand to make sure we’re the right fit for you and importantly your dog. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member.

Jeff is a natural with dogs and clearly has a wealth of experience. Clemmie took to him straight away and judging from the photos they've had a fab time together with lots of walking, playing and enrichment - thanks again, we'll definitely be in touch again!

Jeff was great with my 2 dogs, both have some issues with other dogs but Jeff handle them well, Haru and Akira love him, would recommend for dog walking or pet sitting, it's like a home from home for them both.

I highly recommend Jeff for any pet-sitting needs. He is incredibly reliable, punctual, and attentive to detail. My dog Maisie is a bit of a live wire who can be difficult with other dogs, and Jeff handled it perfectly without a hitch. What sets him apart is his calm energy and the level of focus he gives to the animals in his care. He is professional, trustworthy, and a natural with dogs of all temperaments.

Safety, trust & environment

Once your “fur baby” is within our care, you can expect the highest quality of care and they will be welcomed into a loving, safe and warm environment. My wife and I have experience of dogs ageing from puppies right up to 14 years of age, having had the privilege of being pet parents to a range of dogs which my children adored. They are now grown up and each have their own fur members of the family. In addition, my wife and I have considerable experience in providing pet medication and have a good understanding and knowledge of various dietary conditions requiring particular dietary needs. Whilst staying at my home, your pet will have access to a secure garden for safe play.
