Calm and balanced care for your dog
Pet care experience
I’ve lowered my prices by 30%! Since I’m new to Rover I wanted to offer these introductory savings as a way to meet new pets and get started with my services! These will only be around my first few months so let’s chat soon! Hi! My name is Gavin, I am 28 years old and conquering life with my beautiful wife and our 2 year old whippet Meeko. I currently have the opportunity to be working from home and would love to help take care of your special pup! I am extremely calm and even tempered, providing a balanced and structured environment for your family member. We allow Meeko on our furniture (as he has almost 0 body fat), in our bed and typically take him on 2-3 walks every day. Our weekends typically include hikes and trips around town with plenty of socializing. Above all else I will honor your rules and structure the day how you see best fit to provide consistency to your dog’s day. We invest a lot of time into Meeko’s training and know that consistency is crucial to avoid confusing your dog and putting them in an uncomfortable situation. If you plan on doing day care or overnight boarding I will only take your dog for that day (plus Meeko of course), I want to make sure to dedicate the focus necessary for your comfort. A few other “rules” to consider with me: - Your dog will not be left alone while staying with me and although crate training is not required I can gladly use a crate if you prefer. - All dogs must be house trained as I am in an apartment. -Dogs must be dog friendly to ensure everyone has a good time. -If you are requesting a dog walk or check-in please let me know your preference on having Meeko with me, he loves exercise and would gladly tag along but he can stay home if you prefer. -For boarding and day care I require a meet and greet ahead of time. I can meet you and your dog out front of our apartment, introduce Meeko, and do a short walk down the street to have a structured introduction and get a vibe for everyone’s energy. Then we can go in and show you around our apartment, let the pups check out their vacation home, and make sure everyone enjoys themselves! Please let me know of any questions you have and I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Reviews
Gavin was awesome with dog sitting my dog Louie. He gave me a bunch of updates throughout the day and followed all of my feeding instructions. Would totally book him again in a heart beat.
I don't trust my dog Scout with many people but Gavin is on the shortlist of people I would entrust Scout to. Gavin is a patient and kind person. Whenever Scout sees Gavin, he goes straight for him. Scout jumps up and down and insists on sitting on Gavin's lap. Gavin just pets Scout the whole time. Gavin puts my dog's needs and cares first and in careful consideration. Scout has a few back issues and Gavin is always gentle and keeps in mind how Scout is being handled. Gavin has a dog that is bigger than Scout and when the two are together, Gavin always makes sure that both dogs are taken care of and treated with respect. Gavin is hardworking, respectful, helpful, kind, and one of kind. His patience sets him apart from anyone else and would make the perfect choice to care for someone's animal. He would be attentive, responsible, and loving. If I was looking for someone that I know would take care of Scout like I do, I would pick Gavin.
