Making Tails Wag-Walks and Drop-Ins

I've owned, loved and cared for dogs (and cats) for most of my life, from dachshunds to labs. I'm very active and get a lot of joy out of walking dogs on or off leash. I'm happy walking dogs or running with them - whatever you prefer. I'm very reliable for drop-ins to give your dogs whatever they need - food, water, exercise, and attention - while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I've literally walked and thrown balls for various dogs I've owned hundreds if not thousands of times. I've always taken good care of them as I love dogs, and I'll treat yours like I treated mine.

Daren does a great job with both dogs, they are so excited to see him every time he comes to walk them. Great communicator and helpful when schedule needed to be adjusted! He is very good with dogs and enjoys walking them!

Daren loves dogs. He is very good with my two dogs. Daren is a very responsible guy and can be counted on to reliably show up as scheduled.

Daren has been a dog owner and dog lover for many years. He is also great with people! I would absolutely trust my pet with him.

Schedule

I'm recently retired which gives me a great deal of schedule flexibility. I don't mind getting up early for walks as I'm a morning person. I like a days notice for scheduling walks - that's about it!
