We are Allison and Jeff and are a husband and wife team. We have over 25 years experience in caring for dogs. 

We have 2 dogs of our own, Olly an 8 year old Springer Spaniel and Mac, a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel. Both of our dogs are very well socialised and will welcome new friends, whether that be on a walk or in our home. 

We also have 2 teenage boys, Dan and Will who are both very knowledgeable around dogs.

AJ Dog Care was established in 2015  and since then we have gone from strength to strength. We both work in the business full time and we run every aspect of it between the 2 of us so you can rest assured that you will receive top quality care for your dogs when they are with us!

We offer Dog Walking and Dog Boarding as the main services, however in 2018 we introduced a Wedding Package so that your dog can be included in your big day!

We both deal with multiple dogs on a daily basis and love to see the dogs in a group situation enjoying themselves with their friends. If your dog is not confident in doing this or you would simply prefer them to be walked on a 121 basis then we can accomodate this too. 

Qualifications

We are both Canine First Aid Trained.

Allison holds a Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour.

Jeff holds a certificate in Basic Canine Behaviour.
