Availability
I have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time. I actively train and care for my own large dog, so I’m available for regular walks and in-home sitting.

About Gavin H.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain normal routines, and ensure the environment is secure and calm. For walks, I use appropriate leads and harnesses, assess surroundings carefully, and adjust walks to each dog’s temperament, whether solo or group. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing throughout. I keep homes tidy and respected, provide regular updates, and always aim to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and owners.
Information Gavin H. would like to know about your pet
Before care begins, I like to know a pet’s temperament, walking style, preferred routes, treat preferences, and whether they show aggression toward other dogs or need solo walks.
A typical day
A typical day includes morning play and enrichment, structured walks in mixed environments totaling around three hours, mental stimulation, rest time, and evening play tailored to each pet’s needs.

Reviews
Gavin took our dog, Troy for a walk and again for a short visit as it was a long day for him. Troy enjoyed his walk with Gavin and it was good to know that he was taken care of. Gavin took photos and a map of their walk as well as writing information which we found helpful.
