Pet care experience
Lover of all animals 🐾
Hello, my name is Joey (he/him.) Taking care of animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, I've grown up around all sorts of little critters and have always had a keen interest in them. I have worked at various animal shelters since 12 years old, including a rescue sanctuary, reptile shop, kennel and cattery. For me, it doesn't feel like work because I am at my happiest around animals and enjoy their presence more than anything else! I am trained in administering medication and identifying problems in animals as I studied it at college and have a Level 2 Animal Management BTEC. I have experience with a wide range of dogs; all sizes, from puppy to senior. I also have comprehensive pet sitting and dog walking insurance. I really feel as if I understand animals and am very patient and intuitive with them. Currently, I own three cats named Winston, Eddie and Minnie, and two millipedes named Posy and Willow! I am extroverted and social and thoroughly enjoy meeting people and animals. If I had it my way, I'd be constantly surrounded by dogs! When an animal is in my care, they are my absolute top priority. Safety and attention are the most important things on my mind, along with a heap of cuddles! Your pet will absolutely be in safe hands with me.

Safety, trust & environment
As I mentioned, safety is my main focus when caring for an animal. My attention will be on them at all times and I will ensure they aren't ever left to their own devices. I listen and learn very quickly upon instructions and will make note of any spots your little monster likes to destroy/escape through! I also understand that different dogs require different dietary plans and even medication and will not forget or wrongfully administer it.
Ratings and reviews
Joey was great with Danny, he is reliable, confident and really understood Danny and his needs. I’m very happy that Danny has a new friend in Joey.
Joey was really great and looked after my cat and dog wonderfully! I returned home to happy animals and my house safe and tidy. I also really appreciated that Joey was flexible and super helpful when my return home was delayed.
Very friendly, patient and kind. Our fur babies warmed up to Joey very quickly. Even though they are full of anxiety, Joey puts them first and lets them go at a pace that suits them :)
Joey did a fantastic job of visiting and tending to our cat Poppy! 😺 Reliable, friendly and clearly a cat lover! Really appreciate it and would recommend Joey 100%
Joey was great, good communication before and during and she was really good with marmite our dog. She even dealt with our clucky broody chickens!
We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Joey! He took care of our 1.5 year old Shihpoo and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, Joey was warm, communicative and great with our doggy. Our pup can be quite frantic at times but Joey handled everything with patience and care. We received updates and photos and that really put our minds at ease while we were away for the day. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was in his care. When we came back, our Shihpoo was relaxed, well exercised and it was evident he had formed a bond with Joey. Joey went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt safe and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Joey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!

Schedule
I'm currently unemployed, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can nearly always make time for your pups. Weekdays are best for me, but I can absolutely sort out weekend care too if that's what you require!
