Life long dog owner and dog lover

Pet care experience

I have cared for many breeds of dogs, from large to small, sick and challenging temperament. I can medicate and tend to unwell dogs. I have been a dog owner since I was a child, I know how to manage all breeds of dogs. Boarding I am able to Board/house dogs of any size, the home has a large fenced garden, pets are allowed on the furniture, I do not use cages for the dogs as i like them to have freedom around the home. I will be taking the dogs for walks every day, as I'm local to a large park and large open natural area I would request you bring your dog's favorite food as a sudden change in diet might upset your dog. I only board one dog at a time unless the other dogs are part of the same household. Dog beds and feeding bowls are sanitised prior to the next boarding, but it's preferable if you supply a bowl and bed but it isn't a requirement.

Gary took great care of our dog Kona for a week. He seemed very well cared for and happy, we think he had a great time. A great experience, we’ll be asking Gary to look after Kona again for sure - thank you!

Gary is a great guy and a great dog parent, Neo loved him and was evidently very happy in all the photos and videos Gary sent. He clearly knows a lot about the Doberman breed and gave me lots of advise I will apply to how I raise Neo - some thay may extend his life! Really happy with the 5* service he provided and am happy for him to be my dog boarder for all future engagements. Thanks mate! Idika

Gary was amazing with Yoda! We received so many updates and photos with Yoda being super happy and receiving lots of cuddles. And to go the extra mile, Yoda came back with his fur super shiny and brushed! Thank you so much Gary =) Yoda will definitely be coming back.
