Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was born, we had a labrador cross staffy called Brindle and another mix breed that had some sheepdog in her. We had both of them until I was 15 and I was often responsible for all of the walking, playing and feeding of them from when I was 12 since my parents were away a lot. A couple of years after they passed we got a Bedlington terrier cross Whippet and a Jack Russel terrier which I looked after for a few of years when my parents moved house. I am therefore experienced at caring for dogs of all ages and sizes and I adore them all. I have no doubt I can look after your furry friends. I often look after my friends dog who is the one I am in the picture with, I do not currently own a dog myself. I am currently writing up my thesis from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available from Monday to Friday anytime for both dog walking. I can only walk dogs in the local area (since I do not have a car). For boarding I can do anytime or day of the week if I am not away. I have a fully enclosed garden which dogs cannot get out of. I currently have no dog of my own so there will be no issues with antisocial dogs. I will be available for the dog 24/7 when they are under my care.
Reviews
Our three girls had a fabulous stay with Gareth. Such a lovely man and clearly a doggy person! First time we've ever had to leave our fur babies for a day and we were so worried. But no need! From their first meeting with Gareth they were all very settled. On the day, nothing was too much trouble; and a photo showing them making themselves totally at home helped us feel relaxed. Can't recommend Gareth's services enough and, should we need doggy day care again, he'll be our first port of call. Thank you so much!!
Gareth was perfect. He check and ask relevant questions about the needs of Tony before hand, arrange a pre-meet and he was welcoming overall. One the day of the care, Gareth provide update frequently and pictures about status. Would definitely recommend him to everyone. Thank you.
Our border collie Kevin loved his stay with Gareth, received regular update and photos of
Gareth has looked after our dogs on a number of occasions.One of our dogs is not sociable and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs .Gareth manages this really well.The dogs are always settled when they stay with Gareth , they get lots of walks ,cuddles and love and I’m sent photos so i can see how happy they are whilst they are staying with him. It was difficult to find someone who could manage our dogs and we trusted to look after them in the way we would .I would highly recommend Gareth if you want your doggies to be looked after properly with love whilst you are away either on holiday or like me sometimes need someone when you have to be out all day at work

How often do they get fed? What are their favourite games? How are they with other dogs? Can they be let off the lead? Do you want them to learn any tricks?

I have both Richmond park and Car Brook ravine right by me which are lovely places to take dogs for a walk. I will play both fetch and tug of war with any dogs I look after.
