A two-legged friend for you four-legged friend

Pet care experience

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.

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

Floki had a great time with Gareth. He kept us up to date each day and responded when I had any questions whilst I was away.

We contacted Gareth a few months ago because our dog Toffee needed somewhere to stay whilst we went on holiday. We were worried about leaving her with someone else, but we needn’t have worried at all. Gareth was great. He clearly knows what he’s doing and cared for our dog just like she was his very own. He also sent some photo updates to show us what she was up to which really put our mind at rest too. We have no reservations whatsoever about using him again, and would recommend others to do the same.

Information Gareth R. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.
