We cannot thank Gary enough for the superb care he took of Marler. We have always left our pupster with our daughter but she was unable to have him for us so finding the right sitter was really important for us. Marler settled really well with Gary and he's had the time of his life, going on lots of walks and having fun. Gary has kept us updated with photos of Marlers fun and adventures. We would highly recommend Gary, he has been amazing.

Gary is very professional and experienced, clearly very used to handle a variety of dogs and characters. Our dogs connected with him immediately, and they were clearly at ease when we picked them up. It's always great to be able to have peace of mind while on holiday.

This was Bruno's second stay with Gary and he seems to have had a great time! As with last trip, communication with Gary was easy and we were very satisfied.

It was our first time leaving our puppy for the night so was anxious but Gary put our mind at ease. Gary was welcoming and knowledgeable about all doggy care. Our pup settled well and Gary shared photos during their stay. Will 100% be using Gary again. Our pup Eddie absolutely loved him
