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

Herb is happy and healthy after a week with Darin, who kept me regularly informed, kept Herb regularly exercised, and obviously seems super comfortable and capable caring for dog-guests!

Darin did drop in visits for our 2 cats. He took good care of them while we were away. Thank you😊

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.

I currently have 2 days off a week and only work shorter shifts so I can spend plenty of time with all animals. 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.
