Availability

When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.

A typical day

When I’m home on leave, your dog will be part of our daily routine. The day usually starts with a toilet break and breakfast, followed by a walk around the local area or one of the nearby woodland trails such as Brynna Woods or Smilog Woods. Back at home, there is plenty of time to relax, snooze, explore the garden, or simply keep me company while I go about my day. I try to maintain a good balance of exercise, playtime and downtime. Depending on your dog’s age and energy level, we may enjoy a longer walk, a trip to a local park, or a dog-friendly beach. In the evenings, it’s usually time to unwind with the family, enjoy some fuss and attention, and settle down for a comfortable night’s sleep. Every dog is different, so I adapt their day to match the routine they’re used to at home, helping them feel relaxed, secure and happy throughout their stay.

Pet care experience

Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family.

I am very happy to recommend Nijo as a pet sitter. He has looked after my dog, Jacky, a Great Dane and German Shepherd cross, and I have always felt completely at ease leaving him in Nijo’s care. Jacky is a large dog with plenty of energy and his own unique personality, so finding someone I could trust was very important. Nijo was patient, confident, and attentive from the start, taking the time to understand Jacky’s routine and needs. He ensured to schedule meet and greet to get to know Jacky and made sure my girl received plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while also providing a calm and secure environment. What I appreciated most was the peace of mind Nijo gave me while I was away. It was clear that Jacky was not simply being looked after; she was genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family. Nijo and his wife provide a warm and welcoming home, with a secure enclosed garden and access to lovely local walking routes. Any pet staying with them will receive plenty of care, affection, and supervision. I would have absolutely no hesitation in leaving Jacky with Nijo again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter.

I have known Nijo for two years and can confidently say that they are a caring, responsible, and compassionate person who genuinely loves animals. Over the last two years, they have looked after both a dog and a cat, and I have seen firsthand the dedication and attention they give to their pets. They have always made sure their pets were well fed, exercised, groomed, and received appropriate veterinary care when needed. Their pets were not simply animals living in the house—they were treated as cherished members of the family. Based on my experience knowing them, I have no doubt that they would make an excellent pet owner. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering them for pet adoption or ownership. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.

I am delighted to recommend Nijo as a pet sitter and caregiver. He is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know, with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Whether it is providing exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and loving environment, he consistently goes above and beyond. Among friends he is known as Human Golden Retriever due to his incredible energy and loving personality.
