Pet care experience

Reliable dog sitter in Helsinki

I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life through family, friends, and neighbours. My family has two dogs at home in Ireland, and I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old. I recently moved to Helsinki, and since I don’t have a dog here, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with dogs while providing owners with dependable, caring support. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs calm, consistent attention. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is for owners to feel that their dog is safe, happy, and well looked after, so I always aim to provide attentive care, regular updates, and a positive experience for both pets and owners.

Gary is a gentleman, he loves animals and has taken great care of my two dogs and my cat for several years. The animals love when he spends time with them, caring for them ,cuddling and playing with them. He loves to bring the dogs out on lovely long walks. They enjoy their time with Gary. Would highly recommend Gary as a pet caregiver.

Schedule

Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for boarding, walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m organised, dependable, and understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I always try to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether a dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in the owner’s home, I aim to make the experience calm, reliable, and stress-free for both the dog and the owner.

Safety, trust & environment

I can care for dogs in my apartment in Helsinki and always aim to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. Although I don’t have a garden, I make sure dogs get regular walks, toilet breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and take the time to understand each dog’s routine and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to provide regular updates so owners feel confident their dog is safe and well cared for.
