Dogs first
Your dog's comfort, confidence, and wellbeing always come first. Every experience moves at their pace.
ABOUT JEROEN
Hi, I’m Jeroen. Premium care starts with truly knowing every dog.
Premium care is not rushed. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, confidence, and comfort cues, then create a calm experience where they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

My story
Every dog deserves care built on trust.
Hi, I'm Jeroen — a certified canine specialist with over 7 years of experience. I work with both companion and working dogs using proven, ethical training methods. I provide personalized training, thoughtful care, and a safe, enriching environment for every dog I welcome.
From customized walks to structured day care and boarding, your dog receives the same consistency and dedication I give my own. I prioritize safety, emotional well-being, and clear communication — keeping you informed and your dog happy, relaxed, and thriving.
Exceptional care doesn't just meet your dog's needs — it helps them become their best self. That's what I deliver.
Experiences with:
- Working dogs such as sled dogs, police dogs, and guide dogs
- All kinds of breeds, from small to big
MY APPROACH
Premium service, grounded in trust.
Great care should feel effortless from the outside and deeply considered behind the scenes. When dogs feel safe and understood, owners can leave with complete confidence. Every walk, training session, and stay is calm, consistent, and centred around your dog's wellbeing.
Patient guidance
Calm, practical support shaped around your dog's personality, routine, and individual needs.
Peace of mind
Consistent care, clear communication, and regular updates, so you always know your dog is in safe hands.
Beyond the leash
A calm presence behind Jeroen & Paws.
When I'm not caring for clients' dogs, I'm usually out exploring the Wicklow trails with my own dog. It's where I recharge—and where I'm reminded why calm, enriching time outdoors matters so much to dogs.
Outdoors
Fresh air, muddy boots, and dogs convinced we've only just started the walk.
Coffee Enthusiast
Powered by good coffee. Motivated by wagging tails. Usually in that order.
Adventure Seeker
Always searching for the next trail. The dogs usually find it before I do.
Experience that matters
Experience you can trust.
