Your Pup's Perfect Match!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and knowledge in handling pets. I have successfully trained two puppies, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to handle dogs of various temperaments and sizes. Moreover, I have become a trusted figure among friends, families, and neighbors who rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they are away. My attention to detail, reliability, and genuine care for each pet's individual needs is what truly sets me apart. With me, you can rest assured that your furry friend is in the best of hands.

"Gavin Davison has always loved our dogs as much as his own. He takes time to greet them, play with them and offers to take them for a walk when we are too busy. Gavin is a mature young man who is dependable, honest and a pleasure to be around."

I know how important it is to have peace of mind when out of town and trusting my fur babies to someone else's care. Gavin is kind and caring for his clients and for their animals, having a beloved pet of his own. He is responsible, professional, thoughtful and goes above and beyond in service. Also very important, he is trustworthy and will care for your pet as if it were his own. I highly recommend him and appreciate having someone who cares as much about animal family members as I do.

Gavin has always loved dogs. He has been around dogs his entire life. He is a kind and caring young man. He is responsible and hard working. He is patient and pays extra attention to make sure things are organized. He watches my dog and gives her all the attention she needs. I would highly recommend Gavin.

I am so lucky to have found Gavin. My dog Molly just loves being around him. She always looks forward to their walks and playtime. He has such a pleasant personality and Molly senses that. She took to him from the very first time they met. I highly recommend Gavin to others who are in need of assistance when it comes to assistance for their dog. He is reliable, caring and has a special way with dogs. Whenever I need him, he helps me out.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring that they are safe, comfortable, and happy. If I am providing care in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for pets to play, relax, and explore. The area surrounding my apartment also has several walking trails and green spaces, providing ample opportunities for exercise and fresh air. If the pets require transportation, I have a car available that I can use to take them to the groomers or vet appointments. If I am providing care in the client's home, I am happy to make frequent visits to ensure that the pets are well-fed, have access to water, and are getting enough exercise. I understand that each pet has its own unique needs and preferences, and I am committed to tailoring my care to meet those needs.

Information Gavin D. would like to know about your pet

Before spending time with your dog, I would like to understand your preferences as well as your dog's likes and dislikes. In addition, understanding any fears or anxieties will help me develop a bond with your dog. For example, my dog Ginger likes to be left alone during thunder storms. I know to let her do her own thing so that she doesn't get stressed out. The more information and background you can give me, the better! I do not have any breed preferences. I am happy to spend time with any type of dog!

A typical day

Each dog is different and has different needs, so I am happy to tailor my services to meet your specific needs. For very active dogs, I offer long walks or runs around the neighborhood or in the parks. I do come prepared with a bag of toys which includes tennis balls and frisbees, or I am happy to use any toys you may have so that we can play. For older dogs, I am happy to take short walks so they get just enough exercise. I also know that dogs like to relax, so if hanging out on the floor or on the couch is what your dog likes, I am happy to do that has well.

Availability

I moved to Chicago in July to work at a real estate consulting firm, excited for the opportunities and new experiences the city had to offer. Unfortunately, after a few months, the firm was bought out, and I found myself at the bottom of the totem pole. As a result, I was laid off from my job, but I'm using this as an opportunity to explore new possibilities and pursue other passions. I have a few commitments, including playing in some men's league hockey games and tennis matches, but other than that, I'm relatively free during the week. I'm eager to see what else Chicago has in store for me and am open to new opportunities and challenges that come my way.
