We left our two labs ages 11 and 3 with Gerard for 8 days. He did a great job taking care of them with lots of walks and outdoor time. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we picked them up, would highly recommend him. Looking forward to having him care for them again in the future.

Gerard was great with Luna and his calm nature rubbed off on her. Appreciated the opportunity for a meet & greet the day before as we were visiting the area. This gave both parties reassurance, tho we needn't have worried! Luna had a great time and allowed us to enjoy the wedding knowing she was in good hands. Would recommend :)

Gerard did a fantastic job looking after Ruby. We could tell she had been on lots of walks and had lots of attention during her stay, so she was in brilliant form when we collected her! We can’t recommend Gerard enough, he had a lovely energy and we will definitely be booking him again when we are in the West ☺️

We can't recommended Gerard enough!! This was the second time we left our young golden retriever pup with him for a couple of nights and it's always difficult being away from our boy but we leave knowing that he is in good, safe hands. We get updates and photos throughout the stay which really helps put us at ease and Dusk is a very happy, relaxed boy when we pick him up and doesn't want to leave which we see as a great sign. Gerard is a wonderful person whom clearly loves dogs and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again when needed. Thank you so much, Krissy & Danny.

Our little dog seemed very happy and relaxed when we collected him. We left Jazz in kennels before and although he gets on fine with other dogs it seems that he was very anxious the whole time he was there. With Gerard he seemed contempt and relax which was what we were looking for. Plus it seems that he was getting massages so I think he probably didn't want to go home 🤣. Thanks Gerard for taking care of him so well!

Safety, trust & environment

I have been taking care of dogs for a few years, i started with a neighbours dog and word spread quite quickly. I usually take the dog im taking care of on two walks per day. I have a large garden also when they want to get out, also I keep them inside at night, or I usually go by whatever the owner says.

I have a large garden also when they want to get out, also I keep them inside at night, or I usually go by whatever the owner says. My experience is pretty much as above, I have taken care of a lots of dogs over the past few years, the longest period has been 1 month, shortest 3days. I work from home so I’m always here to keep them company. I have stayed in people home several while looking after there dogs. My home is located in a quiet area. Is is a detached house, with plenty of space outside.
