Gary has walked our dog for 6.5 years. We wouldn’t be surprised if she loved him more than us. Reliable, hardworking and the best friend you want for your dog!

Gary is always friendly & makes the dogs his priority. He has a great memory for the dogs he has cared for & they certainly remember him too with a very positive tail wag & welcome. Always worth choosing, thank you for being so dog friendly

Barks in the pasrks is a very professional service and my dog loves Gary! He treats all the dogs so well and it is a joy seeing the social media pictures of all the dogs on their exciting walks.

Philip Harris, August 2023

Our dogs are always excited to see Gary and we know that they are being well cared for when they are with him. We wouldn’t let anyone else look after our precious family members.


Howard Joseph, August 2023

Gary clearly loves dogs. He is highly professional, very calm and relaxed and extremely hard working. My two labradoodles are always happy to see Gary even if we just meet him when he’s walking other dogs.


Gill Ashcroft, August 2023

Gary is great with my dog and all the dogs he walks, when you see him out and about. Has a calm attitude and helps with any training needs if necessary. My dog loves going out with him.


Catherine Symons, August 2023

Reliable, trustworthy and the dogs are well cared for.


David Joy, August 2023

Gary has helped us out on a number of occasions. He is really great with dogs and understands them. We have always felt that our dog has been very safe and secure with Gary and she is always happy to see him!


Stephanie Pritchard, August 2023

Gary walks our dog 4 x a week and our dog loves Gary to bits. Gary is reliable and trustworthy, turns up without fail and you can rest assured our dog has had a decent walk and socialize with her other doggy friends. Gary has also house/pet sitted for us several times and is just as trustworthy and respectful in relation to this too.


Julie Carson, August 2023

Gary has such a great way with dogs, and looks after them as though they are his own. Leaving them with others can be really nerve-wracking, but we have never felt like this with Gary.


Natalie Walls, August 2023

An extension of our dogs’ family. Always very excited to see the dogs and they are always excited to see Gary!


Benjamin Goddard, August 2023

Shelley Kay, August 2023

Gary has been walking Milo for over 7 years, always friendly and caring for Milo’s wellbeing.


Michelle Tinkler, August 2023

Excellent service. Gary is great with dogs and helped a lot when my Sprocker spaniel Bella was a boisterous puppy. He is also good with cats and sits regularly for us when we go away.


Ciara Hennessy, August 2023

Gary has a special way with dogs. Our pup loved his open friendly, playful manner ……. Too much at times as he didn’t want to come home. It’s scary thinking about leaving your pup with someone else’ but Gary made me feel like our dog was his dog! This is hard to find


Alison Armstrong, August 2023

Gary has a special affinity with dogs and takes great care when walking my dog who absolutely adores him.


Ahmed bagi, August 2023

I love my local park and I’m lucky to have such a very wonderful dog walker Sue Davies


Francesca Groves, August 2023

Gary is incredible with our dog Toby. Toby adores Gary and if we see him out and about Toby will sprint towards Gary from a mile off. Gary is flexible with our requests (as working shifts can make it hard to forward plan), and often gets Toby in for a walk at the last minute.


Christine Wood, August 2023

Very easy going, excellent with his dogs that he walks.

Very trustworthy


Nadia Myerson, August 2023

Gary is an exceptional dog walker. He understands our dog’s behaviour and her needs, putting her safety and welfare first. My dog adores him and loves her weekly walks. He also dog/house sits for us while we are away and he is trustworthy, reliable and respectful of our home. He is extremely honest and I would recommend Gary to anyone who wants their dog to be looked after safely, with respect and with love.


Kelly Horrocks, August 2023

He’s absolutely amazing with our dog Otis, keeps us updated with photos and videos! He’s been much better when we walk him since Gary has been working with him.


Joel Green, August 2023

Gary has been walking our doggie for years he is reliable, helpful and great with our dog. Best dog walker around


judith Finta, August 2023

Gary is so accommodating, changing my gjrl's walks when needed, and so reliable, with a great rapport with all his doggy friends.


Debbie Kay, August 2023

Our doggie Hershey goes out with “Gary and the doggies” twice a week and absolutely loves it! He adores Gary and knows the sound of his car before he drives into our street!

A definite 5 star recommendation from Hershey (and us!) 😁


Paul Copestake, August 2023

Gary, affectionately known as Gary Biscuits, has quietly established himself as a respected and cherished figure within the dog walking and pet sitting community in Prestwich. His unassuming manner and natural affinity for animals have made him a dependable go-to for pet owners seeking genuine care. What truly sets Gary apart is his ability to seamlessly accommodate the unique needs of his canine charges, especially when it comes to health requirements.

Amidst his professional approach, Gary also brings a touch of levity with his well-timed humor, never failing to bring a smile to both the dogs' faces and their owners'. It's his ability to balance the serious aspects of his role with moments of lightheartedness that endear him to those who entrust their pets to his care.

Gary's dedication goes beyond the routine. Whether it's ensuring a dog's special dietary needs are met, meticulously administering medications, or crafting tailored exercise regimens, his thoroughness and genuine care shine through. It's these qualities, coupled with his warmhearted humor, that make Gary an invaluable asset in the dog walking and pet sitting arena.

In an industry where consistency, reliability, and a compassionate touch are paramount, Gary encapsulates the essence of what a skilled and caring pet care provider should be. His unpretentious yet effective approach, combined with his ability to bring laughter to both furry companions and their owners, undoubtedly positions him as a contender for recognition in his field.


Carol Plummer, August 2023

If you want someone to look after your dog and love them just like you do then Gary is your man. Penny loves her walks and if we need a sitter we know she is in safe hands. 100 percent recommend.


Gill Littler, August 2023

I voted for barks in the park because Gary is so wonderful at his job. He treats my dog with love and kindness, and I have no qualms about leaving my dog in his capable hands. He always tries to accoma date me, if I have to change my days of work. I would recommend Barks in the Park to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker


Daniel Waltham, August 2023

Gary from barks in the parks has been walking our dogs for many years. He feels like part of the family and has become a very important part of our dogs lives (and ours for that matter). Always goes above and beyond, and the dogs love him to pieces. We’ve used a few dog walkers and sitters over the years, Gary is the best by far.


Kerry Lucas, August 2023

Barks in the Parks are the best dog walking service! Gary has been walking Ragnar our Rough Collie for over two years. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is trustworthy, reliable and great with Ragnar who sits at the door every Monday and Friday waiting for him to arrive. Gary also dog sits in our house whilst we go on holiday. We never have to worry about whether Rags is okay and whether the house will be looked after. He updates us regularly with photos and always leaves the house in tip top condition. Thanks Gary!


Anna Williams, August 2023

Gary walks our dog twice a week and Gary’s patient and gentle approach has supported our dog in becoming sociable and confident. Gary is always very reliable and helpful.


Suzy Bennett, August 2023

Gary is great with our pup Alf. Alfie is always so excited to see him when previously he wouldn’t leave the house without us without coaxing.


Nicola Glover, August 2023

Our dog really looks forward to her walkies with Gary and we know she’s safe and well looked after


James Greenhalgh, August 2023

Gary has been walking our Labrador since we brought her home 7 years ago. He’s fantastic with our dog and he’s incredibly reliable, trustworthy and dependable.


Faye Johnson, August 2023

Our dog loves her adventure walkies with all her friends! She has been going since she was a puppy and it's really helped her confidence. We enjoy the updates, pictures and videos and love that she's so well looked after when we're at work. Can't recommend highly enough.


Theresa Crookall, August 2023

Gary is fantastic, you can tell he is an expert at what he does. I always feel confident letting Gary look after my pooch and she loves her group walks. Couldn’t recommend Barks In The Parks more!

Hannah Osborne, August 2023

I am so glad we found Barks in the Parks!! Gary is friendly, professional, caring for all the dogs he walks and he always communicates with us so well when our dog is out with Gary. Our dog LOVES him and it's so reassuring to know we can trust someone with her to enjoy herself and know she is safe and well cared for. Gary offers a 5 star service and I would recommend to anyone. Our dog has fantastic walks and seeing the photos and videos Gary takes of them is joyful. Thank you Gary for an amazing service.
