About Gary

Previous experience as a Veterinary Nurse, lover of all animals, parent to Senior Dog Caesar who is still spry as a puppy and Paso Fino horse Cas.

Animal care is my full time job which allows me to provide a premium personal service that is unmatched by larger chains, who can sometimes have less experienced staff looking after far too many dogs at once. With me, you can assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care, attention and safety that can be provided. 


I would love to help you keep your pup happy and healthy by getting them out and about, or caring for them whilst you are away. 

I am highly capable with dogs both small and XXL and always happy to run the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure that you and your pups have the most amazing experience with us.  

I have spent the last 25 years of my life around dogs and other animals, studying Zoology at university with a keen interest in animal behaviour and training. My boy Caesar is a glowing testimate to the positive results and influence that is provided by hard work and consistency. 

I do not have any children in the house, and have no issues with building the confidence of dogs that may have issues with any number of behavioural problems, including pulling on the lead, fear aggression and lack of social skills. 

I am able to run with your dogs, just in case they have an excess of energy that they just can't get out with a regular walk.

I also have a dog scooter which can help with those high intensity pups who need to run all day, along with a special sled harness that will help them keep comfortable whilst they burn off that energy. 

I am confident with keeping your dog safe even in the busiest of areas, and have a very good eye for when the situation is going to excalate, and will always remove them from danger well before there is any danger of harm to your dog or others in the area.

I have the ability to separate dogs that don't get along with others without impacting the care that they receive, so please let me know if this is something that you might require :)

I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help keep your pup healthy and happy!

Service specific information

Dog walking 

For the base listed rate it is required that your dog is:

  • lead trained (walk without pulling, basic obedience etc. ) 
  • does not have any behavioural issues that impact their suitability to be walked in public

Additional charges will apply for dogs who do not meet these requirements depending on severity until the requirements are met.

Training to address these issues can be provided at an additional cost, but does not include any handler training for the owner nor any guarantee that this training will be effective outside the context of walks provided by us. 

Dog boarding and Daycare services

  1. Boarding and daycare services do not include a dog walking service for your dog.  
  2. An add on service of dog walking can be requested at a reduced rate for boarding and daycare dogs, and are bound by the same requirements as a stand alone walking service. 
  3. Walks that are not requested as a service by the owner may be provided by us with the permission of the owner at no additional charge, solely at our discretion and convenience as an additional bonus for well behaved dogs. 

If your dog requires a walk, please do not rely on a bonus walk to occur as this is not guaranteed nor part of the included service.
