Pet care experience

Dogs are my favorite people!

Please only contact me during the hours of 8am-8pm unless its an absolute emergency. I have had dogs my entire life and believe they make the world a better place. Everyone should have a dog! The dedicated love and care I provide for my dogs, is the same love and care your dogs will receive. I have deep compassion and experience caring for any and all dogs, including senior dogs and those with health challenges. I will provide the best care possible to all the four legged friends I watch or walk. Please let me know any specifics about your pet or if you have any questions for me. I look forward to making new dog friends. Let’s get out there for a walk! Please let me know if you have any questions! Several of my clients even work at Rover HQ! *A fuel/travel charge will be assessed for clients far away or requiring toll roads.

Gavin is the best sitter we’ve ever had! He’s attentive, communicative, great with dogs, kind and patient - our incredibly hesitant husky even warmed up to him, which is almost impossible. I can see why Gavin is so popular and we will not hesitate to rebook him.

Gavin is absolutely amazing. He was amazing with our boy and so communicative . Finding someone who takes such great pride in their role as caregiver for pets is special. Fur babies are our children and Gavin takes it to heart. I guarantee you won’t find anyone who loves and cares for them as much like we as owners do. Thank you Gavin!!

Gavin took care of our Husky for several days. While Holly cannot speak per se, she indicated that it was an excellent out-of-her-doghouse experience. Gavin followed all of our instructions and responded to our requests perfectly. He provided daily status with photos as well. Gavin's place was very welcoming and functional for our pup. We would certainly recommend Gavin based on our interactions and this experience.

I have left my pup with Gavin many times. Gavin is very easy to work with, and is so good with my dog who is always happy to go to Gavin's home. Highly recommend.

Gavin did an amazing job watching over our dog Koda. My dog doesn’t like many strangers, but felt very comfortable and safe with Gavin. He did a great job at sending me pictures of Koda and responds very quickly to messages. Highly recommend!
