11+ Years Animal Welfare

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve dedicated over a decade to animal welfare, working in leadership and frontline roles with a Pet Rehoming Charity across Yorkshire and the North of England. I currently lead client services within a rehoming centre, overseeing admissions, adoptions, and volunteer support. Alongside my practical experience, I hold a BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Training, and I’ve worked as an Animal Behaviour Coordinator delivering coaching support, training advice, and support for pets with a wide range of behavioural needs. I also have experience of fostering. I have fostered Cats, dogs and a variety of small animals. I have experience with Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Chinchillas, Rats and Mice. I have a deep understanding of each species’ needs, temperaments, and welfare requirements. Animals are not just my passion — they are my profession. I’m confident with Pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I take a calm, structured, reward-based approach to care. Because of my background, safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I take time to understand your pets routine, triggers, and comfort levels. I use positive, evidence-based handling methods.I provide clear communication and updates. I remain calm and consistent — particularly important for under confident pets. I treat your pet as an individual. I have supported hundreds of adopters through life-changing journeys with their pets, so I understand how important trust is when leaving your animal with someone new.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and secure environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I carefully observe each animal’s behaviour and needs, adjusting interactions and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and confident. Safety is a top priority, I supervise play, follow feeding instructions, and ensure pets aren’t left in situations that could compromise their wellbeing. I keep open communication with owners, providing updates and guidance so pets feel secure and owners feel confident their animals are cared for responsibly.

House Sitting • Apr 08, 2026

Joe arrived on time. Within a few minutes of sitting down, he had my very nervous dog, Jett, eating treats from his hand, and by the time I left, she was cuddled up to him. Very caring, I felt totally confident I could enjoy my evening out knowing Jett was in safe hands. Highly recommended.

He is one of the most caring and knowledgeable people I know when it comes to animals. They’ve worked with so many different pets over the years and it really shows in the way they understand their behaviour and needs. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my pets in their care.

I would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to care for their pets. They show calmness and great patience in the way they handle animals. They take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and always prioritise safety and wellbeing. I feel completely confident leaving my own pets in their care.
