Highlights
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 is absolutely fantastic! He made an effort to come and visit our dog and the house before our first booking. During the day, he updated us regularly and sent lots of photos. We’ll 100% be using him as our regular going forward! Thanks again!
Joey looked after Sweep really well. Sweep was naturally a little nervous at first but within a few minutes they were soon good friends and enjoyed their time together! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joey.
We had a great experience with Joey. He is realible, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He took out time to visit our home and meet the dogs beforehand to get acquainted with the dogs and the place. Our dogs loved Joey. During his housesit, he kept us updated with the dogs routine. One of our dogs got a bit unwell and had a minor issue. Joey was proactive and advised us of the situation. He kept a close watch on the dog and kept us updated. We came back to a clean house and well looked after dogs. We will definitely recommend Joey. :-)
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 :)

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!
