Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard, but I live 2 blocks from St Roch park, and I also have a large truck for traveling to fenced in spaces. Otherwise I’m mostly home. Walks, parks, puzzle games, grooming….depending on the dog’s needs.

Darin absolutely was fabulous for both me, as I recovered from surgery, and for my dog. Darin had the patience to deal with my dog's 'less-than-desirable' behaviors. Darin was punctual, kind, polite and very professional. Simply a wonderful dog-walker!

Darin is a very nice guy! He's great with communication and provided the walks my dog craves during the day. When I got home my dog seemed really happy and I really appreciate that!
