Pet care experience

All-Day Care, All Kinds of Pets

Hi! I'm Bruce – a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve shared my life with big dogs, including bull breeds and energetic pups like Cocker Spaniels, so I understand the strength, attention, and care they need. I'm also physically strong and confident handling larger dogs, giving you peace of mind during walks and playtime. At home, I care for three lively parrots and a sweet mini lop rabbit, so I’m used to managing a variety of pets with unique needs and personalities. I work from home full-time, which means my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, a high-energy playmate, or a reliable caregiver while you're away, I’m here to help. Every animal in my care is treated like family—and I look forward to meeting yours!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, hands-on care either in my home or at the pet owner’s home, depending on their needs. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to offer consistent companionship, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so I can confidently handle strong, energetic pups as well as more relaxed pets. For pets in my home, I create a safe, welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and loved, including plenty of interactive play and attention. When caring for pets at their owner’s home, I follow the owner’s routine closely to maintain their comfort and reduce stress, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship as needed. Whether big dogs, small pets, or even birds and rabbits, I treat every animal like family and make sure their unique needs are met with patience and care. I know how much you’ll miss your little one. I’ll be sure to send you lots of photos while you’re away, and you can rest easy knowing I’m taking loving care of your pets.

Dog Walking • Dec 01, 2025

We feel very lucky to have found Bruce (Tin On Y.) who we booked to walk our dog whilst we were away for a few days. He was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Wave - gentle, calm, patient and clearly very experienced. He also showed such kindness and thoughtfulness towards my parents, who were looking after the dogs at the time, which meant the world to us. It’s rare to meet someone who brings such genuine comfort and trust. We couldn’t recommend Bruce highly enough and will be booking him again without hesitation!

Tin was amazing, he came and met with us and Bobbie before the booking, he kept us updated with lots of photos and Bobbie looked very happy and relaxed in his company. We will definitely book Tin again.

Tin is an absolute gem for my Dachshund! From the very first meeting, he's shown such a genuine bond with my pup. Tin is consistently responsive whenever I reach out and incredibly reliable, always there for our scheduled drop-in visits and walks. The best part - My Dachshund's pure joy when Tin arrives, and how happy and content he is after their time together. Tin truly understands and cares for the specific needs of a Dachshund, and I couldn't be more grateful for his excellent service.

Bruce took care of my Dachshund and bunny during my holiday, and I was very impressed with his professionalism and genuine care. He quickly got used to my dog’s unique personality and needs, and made sure to walk him, giving plenty of exercise and attention. My bunny was also well looked after with gentle handling. Bruce communicated clearly throughout, giving me great peace of mind. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a trustworthy and experienced pet caregiver.

Every pet is unique, so I like to meet up before the first pet-sitting session to get to know them—and you! This helps me learn their favorite games, routines, and what makes them feel happy and safe. For dogs, that might mean fetch, walks, or some relaxing cuddle time. For cats, it could be playful toys, cozy naps, or quiet companionship. Spending time together before helps me give them the best care possible, tailored just for them!
