Soon after contacting Gary, he arranged to meet up and accompany me on a walk with my dog Pippa,Gary was easy to get along with and Pippa took to him quickly. Due to my house sale, and move out of the area I only needed the service for a short period. Gary was happy to accommodate and has delivered a great service.Taking Pippa out twice a week and sending me photos and updates of their trips out on the clough and Drinkwater park.If you're looking for a dog walker in the Prestwich area I would definitely recommend Gary. Overall a great service. More...

We had Gary mind our two dogs over the bank holiday weekend and honestly couldn’t have asked for someone nicer to care for our fur babies. Having never left our dogs with someone other than family before we were really nervous but Gary messaged us regularly, sent us nice pictures and made us feel at ease knowing that they were being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend his services.Thanks againFaye & Jay Elliott More...

Yeah, Gary looked after my Dogs many times over the years. He was always reliable respectful, and nothing but honest and trustworthy. Ive known him for over half a century, and his word means something. If he says he will do something for you he will do it. So yes, I would definitely recommend him as a pet minder and house sitter. Sound guy tbf. More...

Gary is very reliable and trustworthy. He has helped us out with dog walks on a number of occasions and has recently looked after our dog for 4 nights whilst we were away. Gary was very professional and arranged a meeting prior to the boarding to go through all of the finer details. He took note of any specific requirements and really made a special effort to stick to our dog’s evening routine to make sure he was comfortable and happy. Gary took great care of our dog, giving him plenty of walks and keeping him company whilst we were away. Our dog absolutely loves him. We received daily updates with photos which were very reassuring, we could clearly see our dog was very happy and well taken care of! We would highly recommend Gary and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in the future. Thank you Gary! More...

Best doggy care ever. Gary has been visiting our new baby (Cocker Spaniel puppy) Wilson since he was 10 weeks old. Wilson absolutely adores Gary and is always excited to see him. Gary provides the best service for our baby and has done for 3 months now and we wish him to continue. Gary is the most reliable and trust worthy person and we couldn't have chosen any one better. We look forward to the regular photographs from his walks and feel Gary is an integral part of our doggy family. He has been an absolute god-send and we appreciate his reliability each time. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone wanting doggy care. More...

Gary is a great guy and my Siberian Husky Kane loves him. He loves his walks and much better on the lead. I would not leave Kane with anyone else he is so honest and trustworthy and puts my dog first. Kane looks forward to seeing him. I would not trust anyone else and I feel at ease at work when I know Gary walks him. He has been available at short notice when I get called into work. He is a proper diamond I would recommend him to anyone. More...

Gary is great with our greyhound, who is always excited for walks with him. Gary's professional and friendly, he came for a visit to check that he and our dog will get on at the start and we went through all the details of care which he's kept to. Gary house-sat for us in January - our dog was relaxed and well-taken care of, and Gary was very respectful of our place. Highly recommend! More...

I’ve known Gary ever since my dog was around 12 weeks old; he’s now three and after a couple of years of letting Boman goto daycare instead of seeing Gary, it became really apparent to me that Doggy Day Care was not doing my little man any good! After a while of going to daycare he was scared of being picked up, I never saw him in the daycare videos on FB any more and he seemed a little unhappy. The other week I called Gary up and explained the situation to him, as described above. Later that day he came round and Boman was so excited to see him; Gary really does love your dog and your dog loves Gary and even though Bo hadn’t seen him in a few years, he was a giddy pup all over again! After Bo’s first walk with Gary this week, I came home after work to a changed dog...he was buzzing and exactly how I wanted to see him when I come home.I can’t thank Gary enough for his honesty, trust and the time he puts into my dog! I highly recommend using Gary and over daycare too. More...

Gary is an absolutely top dog walker. At late notice he looked after our dog for 2 days, 1 night. This included as part of the service coming to meet the dog the day before so our dog could get to know him. He stayed over at our house, meaning our dog was in the comfort of his own home, Gary was 100% trustworthy to stay in the house, andlooked after it, gave the dog several walks, food and medication, and all of this for an amazing price. Our only regret is that we've not used Gary earlier. Thanks again Gary! More...

Gary looks after our terrier Perdy on a regular basis for walks and house sits with her. Gary is brilliant with Perdy and her idiosyncrasies. Perdy loves Gary and always goes a little bit crazy when she spots him coming to the house and we are kept updated with photos of her walks. It is reassuring that we can go out occasionally knowing our dog will be looked after and having a good time. More...

Gary has been walking Izzy for a number of years. Over the last few months Izzy has had a couple of operations and is unable to go on any walks, which is difficult for an active dog. Gary has been coming to sit with her and has taken her on some very short walks. Gary is really flexible and will always try and help if he can.

We have been using Gary for a few months now, and he takes our to Jackies out twice a week.

He is brilliant with them and they took an instant liking to him when he came around to meet them for the first time.

Gary actively encourages the dogs to interact with and behave themselves around other dogs and treats each dog according to their own characters and needs, for example, waiting a while before letting ours walk off-lead as he knew hey were a little "spritely".

He has also made several recommendations on things such as harnesses and calming techniques which have all worked very well.

Thanks Gary. From us and the two girls.
