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).

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.

Gary was great with Poppy! As an older dog she has a few medications to take at certain times, Gary made sure to check what to give Poppy and when. He also made sure to send lots of pictures and videos to show Poppy enjoy her stay. Thanks Gary

Gary did an amazing job looking after Leo! Great communication throughout the stay. Gary is friendly, warming, easy to talk to. He clearly loves looking after dogs which put me at ease leaving my pup with him. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Gary :)
