Pet care experience

Neil and Aedan. Neil is a retired Police Officer and former Animal Rescue Officer for the RSPCA, with over 30 years’ experience owning and caring for dogs of many breeds, including collies, boxers, bulldogs, sighthounds, Shepherds and Labradors. Throughout his career in the Police, he worked closely with Police dogs and was also involved in fostering and training a Belgian Malinois for West Midlands Police. Aedan has grown up surrounded by dogs and has never known a home without them. From his first puppy at the age of four, Storm the whippet, his love for animals has always been clear. Five years ago, his second love, Honey, a working Labrador, became part of the family. They are also proud to have rescued Amber, a Saluki who was found abandoned and mistreated. They have also previously rescued a lurcher and bulldog. Today, the family home includes Storm, Amber and Honey, giving them daily, hands on experience caring for dogs with different needs, temperaments and backgrounds. Alongside their work with dogs, over the years the family have also owned, cared for and ridden horses and owned Cats. Together, Neil and Aedan combine practical experience in every day dog care, police dog handling, gundog training and handling, which provides a solid understanding of behaviour, structure and routine. Aedan has been responsible for Dog sitting friends fur baby's for the past year, alongside with guidance and support from Neil. Aedan is in full time education. Since retiring from the police, Neil has gained valuable hands on experience and legislative knowledge in animal welfare, before founding Pet Service 2026. Both Neil and Aedan have two main passions in life: 1. Caring for Animals 2. Being physically active: mountain biking, climbing, surfing, and skiing, amongst other things.

I have known Neil for a few years now and if there’s one thing I can say, it’s that he’s incredibly reliable, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. He treats every pet like family and makes sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d trust him completely with any dog and highly recommend his dog sitting,walking service

I would highly recommend Neil to person anyone’s dog. He is gentle and caring with animals and is committed to ensuring that they have the care and attention they need to make them feel they’ve had a holiday too! Reliable and committed to the role, Neil will be sure to also maintain safety and keep your fur babies in the way they are accustomed. You won’t regret hiring Neil and will feel safe in the knowledge that your pets are kept safe and living their best life while you’re away!!!

We can't recommend Neil highly enough. As a disabled person I can feel a little vulnerable at times and it is very important to me to find trustworthy and reliable people like Neil to help (especially for my fur babies). Neil is always on time, he is kind and considerate and always goes the extra mile (such as picking up the post from the mat for me or bringing in a parcel). Neil has a number of his own dogs and fully understands how important our fur babies are to us. When our pups come home they always settle straight down for a nap so we know they have had plenty of exercise and attention. Neil also keeps us updated with pictures and videos so we can see what our little tinkers have been up to. I've already recommended Neil to friends and family and wouldn't trust anyone else now. FIVE STARS!
