Pet care experience

I like dogs more than people 😜

I’ve cared for animals since I was younger, we’ve never not had one in our house. I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and everything between. Your dogs will love their stay at my home, as I am prone to give ample love, treats, and play time to my own dogs :)

Gavin always makes sure my fur babies are well taken care of. I never worry when Gavin boards my dogs

Gavin is always so good with my dogs! He takes excellent care of them, keeps me updated and gives my dogs snuggles. I never have to worry about them when being cared for by Gavin.

Gavin was amazing with my girl. He sent me daily pictures and updates and he made sure she blended well with his two pups. Highly recommend!

Gavin did a great job with our boys. He kept us informed the entire time and sent us pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future.

Gavin was amazing with our puppy Bree. She is a high energy dog, but Gavin was really patient-

Gavin was fantastic with my kids. Giving updates throughout the two weeks that we were away. Most definitely would use him again!

I have 2 dogs of my own, a female of 2 years and a male puppy of 6 months, both absolutely love my spacious backyard and ample living room space to hang out and play!

Pets

A typical day

The day typically starts with going potty, then will lead into eating breakfast and having some time for playing, cuddles and love before I head to the gym most days. After which I return, allow them some more time to play and relax with everyone till I start work. While I work, most time is spent just hanging out and not doing too much exciting activities, but when I’m off will be when we get to go on a walk to get that energy out!

I can accommodate for most needs in an animal, there will be times when I am working that they will need to be generally relaxed, but I can take breaks and time away to walk and care for animals as needed if other accommodations are necessary.
