Life is better with pets!

Pet care experience

I have trained and taken care of cats and dogs all of my life. I have dealt with high energy youngins and old friends in their last days. I love talking to dogs and cats and getting to know them. I know how to trim nails, groom and even give haircuts to dogs and cats. If there is a dog or cat around, you will often find me disengaging with the humans and engaging with these fluffy buddies. I am free for the summer as I am a masters student at Temple University. I have an open schedule and I want to get out and hopefully explore Philly with some companions. Unfortunately, my childhood cat passed away in March, so I have a lot of extra love and care to give to other pets. I will make sure to never leave your pet alone! Though I have a rather small apartment, I have a park right next to my house. I have a bird feeder in my window so they can daydream about catching birds. I always make sure they have food and water, and I am attentive to their needs and try to make sense of what they are trying to tell me.

Jack had a fantastic stay with Gavin, and I’d definitely book again! Gavin was super patient with Jack who can be a handful sometimes as a shiba. He kept us informed and sent photos while we were away.

Gavin has been a highlight in our pet’s experience throughout their journey of life. Whether encouraging a young feline or satisfying a canine’s rambunctiousness he seemed to know what they needed. Gavin is a thoughtful, well rounded individual who simply gets it! I would gladly recommend him to nurture your pet during your absence.

Information Gavin L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet as any special needs. I want to make sure I get everything down so that your pet is comfortable and taken care of. So this includes any medication, portion sizes, and any special rituals you have with your pet just to make sure they feel like they are at home and have that same consistency!

A typical day

Having pets is a great way to get out and explore. Seeing them happy and excited makes the day that much more memorable and fun. I love throwing balls as far as I can.
