Highlights
Pet care experience
Licensed dog sitter.
Fully licensed for dog boarding reference 26/07168/AL00 AIMQualification level 2 in canine care and welfare Public liability insured. I have had dogs for over 20 years. My last dog passed away recently. I miss the company of dogs. I am retired but active. I walked my dogs every day, up to 3 miles, depending on the weather and temperature. Our home is securely fenced and gated all round . We have a large garden and plenty of places to walk locally. Your dog will be fitted with a GPS tracker on their collar for their stay. I have a doggy paddling pool for hot weather. We look after our granddaughter every Monday. She has her own dog and is fine around dogs. I completely appreciate that your dog is a valued part of your family, so rest assured he or she will be well looked after. He or she will have the run of the house and can sleep with us or separately depending on your requirements. Although I have specified one dog per stay, I am happy with 2 dogs if they already live together. Please note . All owners must provide sight of vaccination certificate. If you make an enquiry and decide not to continue with it, would you be so kind as to let me know. We have air conditioning, cool mats, engagement toys. We disinfect between sittings as per licensing requirements. We take dog care seriously!!

Ratings and reviews
Yoda stayed with Gary for a week and loved being there. He is usually very nervous with new people but settled in immediately. We will definitely be using Gary again next time we need a dog sitter.

Very good, would highly recommend, great communication.poppy very well looked after.
I highly recommend Gary and Anita. Toffee had another fantastic visit and I receive regular updates and feedback while I’m away, so I never have to worry.
Thunder had a wonderful day staying with Gary. We have not left Thunder before and she was at home straight away. She remembered the house and could not wait to go in when we got there. She was so happy to be there that when we picked her up she was still playing with Gary and his lovely wife. Gary is wonderful with dogs. We will be booking again.

Schedule
I am retired so am at home all day. This means I can give your dog full attention, walking, playing and cuddling meeting all engagement needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fenced and secure garden. Locally there are woods farmland and parks. I would prefer to keep your dog on a lead as recall can be difficult if the pet is not familiar with the walker. I hold a dog first aid kit and wound treatment.
A typical day
I will take your dogs for walks locally varying the route and location through the local country park, woods or estate up to 3 miles a day. Your dog will be fitted the as GPS tracker on their collar. Having a large garden ball games are always on the menu.
