Pet care experience

Let me love and care for your dogs!

Me and my family have ALWAYS had a dog in the house, and as soon as I graduated college, I got one of my own. A Golden Retriever by the name of Parker. He's 2 years old, and loves all dogs. Through him, I have learned a LOT about owning, caring and playing with dogs so you will have nothing to worry about!

Gavin was so wonderful with our Harley girl! We booked last minute and he was so kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with. He sent us pictures and always responded right away when we checked in on our girl. Highly recommend him to watch your fur babies!!

I booked last minute and Gavin was wonderfully communicative throughout. Gavin greeted Bella so kindly before daycare, and Bella had a great time with Gavin! I really appreciated his responsiveness and care :)

I am in my families home, which comes with plenty of space and a fenced in backyard. So plenty of room for activities and a good environment for a dog to feel at home and relax.

Pets

A typical day

I'm always open to any specific activities your dog loves to do, but with my own we tend to play fetch, tug-of-war or just go on a walk and let him get all the smells he needs to feel comfortable!

If your dog needs any special attention or care, just let me know. I'm more used to handling more gentle dog breeds, but am open to learning whatever i need to when it comes to your pet!
