Information Hugh W. would like to know about your pet

I’ve a lot of pet experience, and I was brought up on a farm so much practical experience with all sorts of farm animals. I’m flexible and practical so your pet will be in safe hands.

A typical day

Whatever the dog likes. Garvie likes playing catch, hide and seek, attacking my toes and stealing socks! Well, he’s still a puppy and we have a lot of fun. He loves having other dogs for play or just company. For a bit of a change from the woods we sometimes head off to one of the beaches near here, Irvine, Ardeer or Seamill.

Pet care experience

We had Golden Retrievers before we had kids! I now have Garvie who will be 2 in October. He loves people and other dogs. I live in a cottage in Montgreenan estate, lovely woodland garden and river walks etc. Don’t need a car to go to walks, just step out of the house and go. With Garvie I do about 12k steps a day. Licensed and Insured.

Hugh was fantastic! Took Willy on lovely woodland walks and sent photos during his stay. Hugh was very flexible about dropping off and pick up. Overall a lovely man and I know Willy was well looked after
