Best bet for your pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have always been the go to for friends and family when a pet needs love and care. Especially when they’re not there to take care of them themselves.

Gavin was awesome! Not only did he come through last minute because our sitter canceled, and by last min I literally mean 1 hr before we had to leave. He was so accommodating and our baby girl loved him the second they met. Our pup usually is hesitant when she meets people for the first time and takes a few mins to warm up, but not with Gavin. The second they met, he got low to ground to say hi and she immediately gave him kisses. He gave us updates and pictures throughout their time together. I would 10000% recommend Gavin. FYI, he does not have a cat even though it says he does on the site. That was the only reason we were hesitant to use him at first. He will always be our go to sitter :)

When I go out of town, I always leave my dog with Gavin! He is amazing! I literally never need to worry about anything at all! My dog LOOOOOOOVES him!

Gavin watched our lovable but anxious dog Sunny for a week. He immediately made her feel comfortable, and we had peace of mind with daily pictures and updates. I think Sunny had a better vacation than we did with all the walks and pampering she received. Will definitely be using Gavin again and would 100% recommend him to anyone else.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an open floor plan loft with lots of space that is right next to a huge grass field where I like to take some pets to blow off steam and get their walks in. In the house the couch and living area are the chill and play spots. Im a bit of a minimalist so not a lot of clutter or things to get into that can be a hazard to your pets.

Information Gavin D. would like to know about your pet

I always want to know if your pet has any quirks. If they get along with others on walks. If certain noises trigger them or if they have any fears. I want to make them as comfortable and stress free as possible when away from their owner.

A typical day

I have a huge open field next to my place in Pilsen so that is a good to spot to explore with your pet as well as the rest of the neighborhood. My spacious apartment gives for lots of in door games. I listen to music and watch tv with them when they’re all done with the exercises of the day and just want to chill.
