Pet care experience

Dependable, Friendly Pet Care in Your Home

I’m Gaynor, an experienced and compassionate animal lover based in Kenilworth. I've cared for pets my whole life — from growing up with cats to sharing my adult life with dogs including Barney and Bullseye (Staffordshire Bull Terriers), Ruby and Bella (French Bulldogs), and a German Shepherd in my teens. Currently, I live with Bella (born June 2021), a friendly Frenchie, and three grown-up sons — we’re all confident and caring around dogs, and they help with pet care when needed. I’m confident handling dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes. I’ve completed: A certified Canine First Aid course A CPD-accredited Dog Body Language course Multiple other online courses focused on pet care and welfare DBS checked and fully insured I'm also currently studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare at college and volunteering at Dogs Trust and Birmingham dogs home where I’m gaining further hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs.

Gaynor was amazing with our dog, Gracie! She took such great care of her while staying at our home and made sure Gracie got plenty of long walks and attention. It was clear she treated Gracie like her own. We came home to a very happy dog and a spotless house! We’d highly recommend Gaynor for any house stays and dog walks; she’s fantastic!

She handled our energetic and nervous dog very well, was very calm, and ultimately they had a lot of fun!

Gaynor took great care of Frankie and sent lots of photos while we were away! No hesitation to recommend Gaynor to house sit and look after your doggy x

I was worried about leaving my pets with a stranger for the first time but Gaynor took the time to get to know the pets and me and put my mind at rest with her experience and knowledge, I returned home to calm and happy animals . I have no doubts I will use Gaynor again .

Our first time having Gaynor in our home to take care of our little Frankie - and we are really looking forward to seeing her again. Gaynor is so friendly and knowledgeable! She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and even emptied the dishwasher/did the dishes!!! Thank you Gaynor. Highly recommend

Is your dog cat/dog/people friendly? Any allergies, health conditions, or medication? Are they neutered/spayed? What’s their usual routine, feeding, and sleeping pattern? Do they have any triggers or behavioural needs? The more I know, the better I can tailor their care.
