Pet care experience

What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for pets and my hands on experience I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I have a knack for training basic commands and tricks which helps keep pups engaged and happy plus I understand the unique needs of older dogs ensuring they get the special attention and care they deserve. I’m dedicated to creating a safe fun environment where every dog feels loved and comfortable. I have an enhanced DBS check certificate. I’m fully insured, including public liability insurance. I am also trained in canine first aid (level 2).

Gary looked after our nervous 3 year old, Pascal for 4 nights and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He sent us daily photos and videos and we could see how relaxed and happy Pascal was. This meant we could also relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was in safe hands. We would recommend Gary!

Gary was really helpful and provided good information on how he looks after dogs. My dog Basil seemed happy on the videos Gary shared for a 1 night stay.

Thanks Gary for looking after the dogs, first time using such a service and we had complete peace of mind. Super organised and provided a ‘holiday for the dogs’, regular communication, super flexible and lots of care during the heatwave. Would 100% recommend.
