Let me be your pets best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed.

Darin was very kind and I would recommend him for day care. His home was easy to find and his dog seemed friendly. My only critique is that he had to work and would be away from home for half the day, leaving my dog in a crate for 4 hours. I would have liked to know that ahead of time and will be sure to ask any future sitters if they will actually be around to be with my dog.

Darin did a great job with Sully. He got plenty of walks and I appreciated the daily communication. We would definitely book again.

Safety, trust & environment

Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I live close to Tower Grove park and all the dogs including my own love it. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.

Information Darin K. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs please just let me know! I have plenty of experience giving medication and special dietary attention. I also like to ask a few questions pertaining to how you would communicate with your dog. I feel consistency is best so the dog knows that they are in hands as good as their owners.

A typical day

Usually I like to play in the backyard with dogs. My neighborhood is perfect for walking them. Just a few blocks from what I think is the nicest park in the city. Plenty of friends to make! Nothing but good, well behaved dogs around the neighborhood.

Availability

I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me.
