Pet care experience

No dog too big or small!

I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me.

Gavin was excellent, and I would happily have him stay again. He took excellent care of my dogs and home. I have two large dogs with some quirks, and he was understanding of their needs and behaviors. He communicated with me every day, which I requested, and sent great photos. I could tell from the photos that both dogs were comfortable and having a great time, which allowed me to enjoy my trip. I would highly recommend him.

To whom this may concern, Gavin Allen is a very kind hearted person that is very responsible, trustworthy and a lifelong pet owner. He has help take care of numerous animals on a small farm his whole life. I would not hesitate to hire him. Thanks.

I am the owner of two large dogs, and I have to travel often for work. I consistently hire Gavin to take care of my outdoor dogs, and I could not ask for a better pet sitter. Whenever his car pulls into the driveway, they let him know they are very happy to see him. He is able to feed them twice a day and makes sure they are let out and get some exercise every day. Gavin always follows my instructions exactly and I regularly recommend him to other pet owners.

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for our two small indoor dogs! Gavin was very flexible with his schedule and was able to make it to our house three times a day while we were away in order to keep our dogs in routine. We could tell our dogs were happy to see him every time he came over and I definitely plan on hiring him on the future!
