Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate Care.
I've been handling animals since I was a kid spending summers on a family farm in east Texas. Looking after chickens, cows, and sheep taught me how to be calm and capable around animals of all sizes. I took that experience into the animal welfare world to learn the technical side of dog behavior and safety. I’m PetSafety certified and ready to help with whatever your pet needs!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a background in animal welfare, so keeping pets safe is second nature to me. I’m also super careful about introductions and always supervise playtime to make sure everyone feels safe and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Gavin took great care of our dog Frida and really saved us with a last minute booking.

Gavin was a good sitter, he handled our difficult cat and allowed us to have a stress free trip.

Gavin definitely didn’t disappoint when I booked him to watch my buddies for a few days! He was very responsible and trustworthy from the point of the meet and greet up until I actually got back home! He made sure that he picked up after himself before I got back home. He made sure my dogs were fed and would send pictures often for me to check up on them. Definitely will book with him again in the future when necessary.
Gavin did a great job caring for our home and dogs. And when the State Department mailed two passports late Gavin even forwarded them to our hotel in New York! He’s a wonderful guy.

Gavin was very communicative and took great care of Max!

Absolutely incredible with our puppy! This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but Gavin did an awesome job keeping us posted with pictures and updates. Our pup had a great time and we will most definitely be booking again. 100% recommend his services!!

Schedule
Since I’m usually home during the day, I have plenty of time to stick to your pets routine, go for long walks, and give them all the attention they need.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsGavin can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- To give your pets the best stay possible, just let me know if they have any medical needs, separation anxiety, or specific triggers. I’m totally comfortable handling unique needs as long as we chat about them beforehand! It’s also helpful to know how they do with other dogs since we’ll be socializing.
