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.

Information Gavin D. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

The day is a mix of playing and walking local paths and parks for plenty of exercise , fun enrichment games, and enough downtime for naps.

Pet care experience

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!

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.
