Pet care experience

Cuddles, beach walks and the best time together :)

I am based in Broadstairs, Kent by the sea. There are many doggy friendly beach locations and plenty of parks close by. I have an 8 year old very friendly dog called Maya and she is a cocker spaniel. Maya is a very playful dog which likes both cats and dogs. I usually look after 1 doggie at a time and rarely have 2 doggies at the same time as I want to allocate all the time and care to your doggie. I've always had animals and I am a very responsible person with an interest in animal protection. I am interested in providing the best care and I am interested to hear more details about your pet. I have been a dog walker and been taking care of dogs across years and all my recommendations are positive. I have also volunteered at a dog shelter and I had the chance to care for different animals.I understand that each animal has a different personality and requirements and I am happy to hear about them and make them feel as home.Please let me know of any additional needs, happy to ensure all are met. Happy to keep you posted with pictures and videos whilst you are away. Your doggie is in safe hands and will have so much fun!

Dara loves dogs and she loves your dog too! She gave my puppy a holiday whilst I was on holiday; daily beach walks, lots of stimulation and the upmost care. Pictures twice a day helped me to quickly relax and to know Oscar was being looked after. We highly recommend Dara for her care, attention and commitment to ensuring your dog won’t miss you! 😜

Molly had an amazing stay with Dara. Dara was kind, caring and really helpful from the first message and all the way through Molly's stay. It was lovely to get regular updates and photos throughout the day. It was clear to see that Molly was well looked after and having a fantastic time. I would highly recommend Dara to anyone that needs their dog looking after.

We had lovely Dara again. Axel pulled us into her home for his stay. Once again he loved being with Dara. And we had some photos of Axel who looked like he was loving his time again with her. I cannot recommend Dara enough she's lovely and kind and gives great feedback back about Axels stay.👌❤️

Axel stay over night and the next day was marvellous. From the start to finish. Dara and Brad made me feel so relaxed and safe leaving our baby with them. They sent photos and videos which was so kind and made us feel confident of thelove and care he was receiving. I would recommend them 100% as Dara was happy to also meet up with us and Axel before his stay. The home was very dog friendly and heaven for dogs with a toy box . When we left him his head stuck in that we knew he was happy. And lastly when we picked him up he was happy to see us but then ran back into their home . Which spoke volumes to us . So a big thank you to Dara and wd will book again .👍❤️🫶
