Highlights
Pet care experience
From puppies to senior
I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and animals have always been at the centre of my life. I live with my own two much-loved dogs — Coco, a Staffy-Mastiff rescue, and Atlas, a young Labrador — so I truly understand the importance of consistent exercise, nutrition, and affection. Over the past two years, I’ve built up regular clients who trust me week after week with their pets, including a Standard Poodle, French Bulldog, Golden Retriever, and Yorkshire Terrier. Whether it’s energetic play, calm companionship, or gentle handling for senior dogs, I adapt to each dog’s needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets — and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m confident handling all breeds and temperaments, and I always prioritise safety, patience, and kindness. If you’re looking for a sitter or walker who genuinely connects with dogs, pays attention to detail, and keeps you updated every step of the way, your pet will be in safe, caring hands with me :) and will gain some doggy friends on the way.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Damian is very good with dogs and treats every dog the same. He has given dogs training that has improved their life. He trained a dog that everyone was scared of and thought was aggressive. Damian took the time to find out why the dog was jumping and barking at people and found ways to control and get the dog to stop acting in their old ways.

Schedule
I keep a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time to walking, sitting, and providing companionship throughout the day. Whether you need a daily walk, occasional sitting, or overnight care, I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your dog feels happy and secure.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m really interested in dogs’ mentality — how they think, learn, and behave. Having two of my own has given me a deep understanding of how to balance structure with love. I believe dogs thrive when they know what to expect, but also when they feel truly cared for and understood. I’m strict when it comes to safety and routine, but I’m also compassionate and gentle in how I handle each dog. This approach helps them feel secure, respected, and happy in my care. Your dog will always be supervised on walks, with secure leads and harnesses, and I tailor activities to their personality and energy level. Whether it’s exercise, play, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels at ease. And because I know how much peace of mind matters, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see how your dog is getting on.

A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, stimulated, and relaxed. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important variety is. We’ll play with different toys like tug ropes, treat puzzles, and tuber toys, and I’ll use hidden treats and command buttons to keep their minds active. Walks will include plenty of time to sniff and explore, plus games like fetch or tug of war for exercise. My goal is to balance fun with structure, so your dog gets both mental and physical stimulation.
