Pet care experience
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. In addition to private dog walks... I do a MIDDAY PACK WALK to Dusty Rhodes dog park 5 days a week. It’s about 5-6 dogs each day. I pick up and drop off the dogs between 12-3pm. I’ve been doing this for 2 years now and most of our pack has been with me over a year. We have A COUPLE spots open right now. Requirements: - Dogs must be NOT aggressive with other dogs - Small to medium size dogs only - Must live in OB/Point Loma I pick up the dogs from their home (you are not required to be there). I send you a picture/video when I arrive and when I drop off. We spend 1hr at the dog park and your dog will be out of the house for 1.5-2hrs. I charge $35. I consider this service something in between private walks and daycare. Since private on-leash walks can be anti-social and daycare very expensive, my clients love that I offer this and I truly do too. The FIRST STEP is to meet you and your pup in your home. We do this so your pup will see me trusted by you in their home, which is very important to establish trust. I’ll ensure your dog is a safe fit for the pack. You can tell me about their quirks and ask me any questions. If there are no red flags we’ll make a weekly/monthly schedule and get started immediately. This is a complimentary visit.

Reviews
After speaking with Darin, he offered to come over and meet my dog that day. After seeing the way he interacted with my dog and the way he actively listened to my concerns, I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in his care. Darin sends pictures and detailed updates of how my dog behaved and the interactions he had. I greatly appreciate knowing my baby is in good hands, socializing and getting exercise while I’m at work.
Darin was fantastic with my Aussie-doodle Nellie!! I told him my concerns and goals with her and he was understanding right away. He talked to me in a confident and caring way, giving me insight into how my dog’s behavior was a reflection of mine. After one walk with him I was excited to work with my dog more frequently.
We’re so happy we found Darin! He’s super reliable and takes our pup Zuza out while we’re at work to his dog “playgroup”. He always lets us know when he’s picked her up and dropped her off and sends photos and videos to let us know she’s having a great time. I know our dog really benefits from the socialization with other dogs while we’re at work all day. Highly recommend Darin!
Darin is a true gift. He is intuitive, a lover of animals and a person who makes dogs comfortable and joyful. They love the outings and Darin. He gives the dogs confidence and joy. My adopted street dog, Gravie, has been reluctant to join other playing dogs. Darin has been great encouraging her and inspiring her confidence. Try Darin. He is a dog gift and your gift fir your dog!
