About Kieran

As a former British Army dog handler with nearly six years of experience, I specialized in handling and training working dogs, including those used by UK Special Forces. I have extensive experience with various breeds, such as Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Dutch Herders, Spaniels, and Labradors.

I hold full qualifications under the Dangerous Dogs Act and in dog handling, including scent work training. My skills and experience make me well-suited for a dog sitter/walker position, where I can offer training and educate owners on best practices, enhancing the well-being of both dogs and their owners.

Additionally, I am trained to a high standard in veterinary care, enabling me to handle emergencies effectively and prioritize animal welfare.

I also offer light physiotherapy services for dogs, consisting of a series of stretches designed to maintain and improve muscle health and overall well-being. These techniques are easy to learn and can be taught to dog owners for continued care at home.

Kieran did an outstanding job looking after my dog, Bonnie, overnight. From the moment we met, it was clear that Kieran’s training and experience with animals make him a fantastic caretaker. He made sure Bonnie felt comfortable and at ease, which is no easy task considering she can be a bit anxious in new environments.

Kieran's knowledge of dog behavior and his calm, patient approach really stood out. He followed all the instructions I provided and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Bonnie was in great hands. When I picked her up, she was happy, well-rested, and clearly had a positive experience.

I highly recommend Kieran to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caretaker. His professionalism, combined with his love for animals, ensures that pets are well looked after. I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

Kieran was fantastic- even our most timid cat didn’t run off like he normally would! Great communication, highly recommend. Thank you Kieran!
