Pet care experience

A two-legged friend for you four-legged friend

I work from home, so I’m able to provide constant care and attention for your pooch, including plenty of walkies and cuddles. I do have a 15 month old border collie called Mia, she’s a really good girl and likes to help out by playing with any dogs who come to stay, under my supervision at all times of course! Mia and I like to go on walks two or three times a day and we’re lucky to live close to the Ribble estuary and Lytham beach so there’s no shortage of great walks for us to enjoy together. I have sat for less active dogs which isn’t a problem, there’s a great park at the end of the road where Mia loves to show off her skills with her frisbee.

Would definitely recommend Gareth, he’s extremely friendly and was very welcoming. We were nervous about leaving our dog with anyone else but he was very reassuring and sent lots of photos of Remi enjoying herself which was great to see.

This was a last minute booking. Gareth really helped us out and the dogs were really happy there. Would definitely go to Gareth again when we're in the area.

My dog really enjoyed his day with Gareth, he was so happy to see him in the morning and didn’t seem to want to leave him in the evening to come home. A very happy owner and a very happy dog!

Millie had a great time staying with Gareth. We received regular updates and she was very well looked after. Would highly recommend!

Couldn’t recommend Gareth and his lovely family highly enough understood lennys needs to the tee and incorporated everyday routine such as sleeping in bedroom etc. received updates throughout the day as to what he was up to with a few pics and videos too will definitely use his services again

Gareth is amazing. Our puppy Mose always has so much fun staying with him and we get frequent updates throughout the day.

A typical day

I live on the Fylde coastal path, so we'll take regular long walks away from roads and other such hazards. I'm happy to keep your dog on the lead if you prefer but it's a great, safe environment for them to really stretch their legs. I find dogs love to have constant attention, so although I don't let animals in my bed I always allow them to sleep in their basket at the end the bed. They basically become part of the family while they're here.

So long as your dog is friendly enough I'm pretty laid-back - if you've bred your dog to be a guard dog you'll have to go elsewhere I'm afraid. My girlfriend and her 9 year old often stays over, so reasonably child-friendly animals would be preferred but for shortish stays I could work around it if they're nervous around children.
