Bio :
I’m Ian, dog owner and founder of MyPAWfectPlace, an IT professional who loves the outdoors and believes we shouldn’t have to leave our dogs behind or rely on guesswork when planning a day out.
I explore the UK with my dog, checking details that matter, like off-lead walks or whether a cafe welcomes dogs inside or only allows them outside. Each guide uses first-hand experience or carefully verified research, so you can plan with confidence.
My background in IT means I naturally focus on accuracy, structure, and keeping information up to date — not just publishing and forgetting. I regularly revise listings for changes in access, facilities, and dog policies.
My aim is simple: to help you find places where you and your dog are truly welcome, without the uncertainty.
