Loving and caring to all pooches.

Pet care experience

My wife and I walked and boarded dogs for 5 years in Australia. We worked with one of Australias best animal trainers. I am into fitness and love taking dogs out for some fresh air. We live near two parks with ample shade and water. I keep the dogs best interest at heart in terms of overheating, burning paws on the sidewalk, salt burn and will always look after your special pooch intelligently. I have walked and boarded all shapes and sizes of dogs and am a capable handler of all breeds. Your dog will become part of our family when I look after them, and they will come home with big smile on their face! In terms of walking, I only do 1 on 1 walks, which means all the attention and focus is on your pooches. This is also fantastic if your pooch has social anxiety and is uncomfortable walking with other dogs.

We knew Gareth was going to do an outstanding job, but he went above and beyond. Paid attention to all the little details, gave our pup Xander his daily pill without incident, and took some amazing pictures of our dog just because. He even took the time to clean all the trapped fur out of the velcro strap on his harness--Which may sound like a small thing, but it had been driving us crazy for months. Gareth clearly loves what he does, and upon picking our dog up afterward, Xander was bright-eyed and happy.

Gareth and Shaye were fantastic taking care of Oakley. Their communication was top notch, they sent pictures while they took care of him and most importantly they were mindful of all Oakley’s behavioral and medical needs. 10/10 I will be reaching out to ask for their help again!

Gareth and his wife are amazing! Communicative, friendly, and they obviously take care of your dog. When we brought our dog to stay with them a second time, our dog was very excited to see them which is a great sign! We'll definitely use Gareth again. Highly recommend.

Gareth was great with my golden retriever, Athena, and he was very flexible when my family had some unexpected delays returning from our trip. He and his wife took Athena on nice walks and sent pics every day. Really nice guy and we highly recommend / will use him again.
