Highlights
Pet care experience
The world would be better with more dogs!
I've regularly taken care of friends and family pets whilst they are on holiday for many years. I am a huge dog lover but as I live alone, it's not the ideal time for me to have my own dog. I had my own Staffie/Labrador Cross called Rizzle. I would absolute love to take care of your pride and joy and fellow family member and I guarantee they will feel like they are in a home from home

This is the first time we have left Dora with someone away from her home so we were very apprehensive. Dora is our beautiful, feisty Staffy so it was very important that she stayed with someone who understands the breed. From the first few messages with Gary, it was clear he had experience and knowledge about dogs and Staffy's. The first time we met Gary, Dora immediately took to him and Gary's love of dogs was very clear. He took us to his local dog walking area. and we talked about Dora's routine and personality. Following this we felt assured that Gary and Dora would get on well together so booked a trial two night stopover. We still felt nervous when we dropped her off but within 10 minutes we had a picture of Dora looking very much at home. Gary continued to stay in touch and update us about how she was doing along with regular pictures - this was so reassuring for us. We really feel that Dora was meant to meet Gary because they got along so well together. I would not hesitate in recommending Gary, he is open, honest and friendly and really has a special way with Dora (& other dogs I'm sure). We now know that she will be happy and well loved whenever she stays with Gary for a longer period of time. We feel very fortunate to find such a special person for our special pooch - thank you so much Gary.
My dog (She is 10 years old) was on the sofa within hours. She was looked after really well. She had medication and a supply of home made food and it was no problem. Will be booking for next year. Thank you for taking such good care of Lola.
Gary looked very well after our dog. Kept us informed with photos and videos. Can definitely recommend!
Gary was kind, attentive and kept us up to date with regular updates. I have recommend him to family and friends for future trips away!
Gary S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
We’re so grateful to Gary for looking after Rocky while we were on holiday. Rocky looked incredibly happy and well-cared-for when we returned, which shows just how much love and attention he received. It’s such a relief to know he was in such good hands, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you, Gary, for giving Rocky such a positive experience while we were away!
