Ian Barnes

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.
