Will hike and run with your dog
Pet care experience
I am a Bay Area native who is familiar with the San Mateo and San Francisco County areas. I am a full time online student who has a car and who also has plenty of time to cater to your dogs needs. I am available at all times of the day, preferably mornings and afternoons. My personal experience is that I have grown up with dogs and currently I have a 2 years old rescue dog, Luna, who I go on runs and hikes with around our neighborhood, so I have a lot of practice in what trails and roads to take. My favorite locations are Fort Funston and Sweeney Ridge and my favorite treats for Luna are Zukes Z-bones, bully sticks, and yogurt treats.

Let me tell you about Darin and my loving Miniature Schnauser Patrick. Today is Patrick’s birthday...he would have turned 13 years old today. Patrick was the center of my universe, and I’m privileged to say that I was the center of his. Patrick was only 5 weeks older than my other Miniature Schnauser, Seanie, who died suddenly almost 2 years ago. When Sean died, Patrick became very insecure and anxious (they were never apart during their entire lifetimes). Patrick’s separation anxiety became so significant that I could not...and would not ever leave him by himself. That’s when Darin became Patrick’s sitter, and friend. Darin faithfully came to my home every morning to stay with Patrick while I went to work. If I needed to leave the house for any reason (shopping, errands, evening out, etc), Darin would come and take care of Patrick, making him feel secure and safe. When I needed to travel overnight for business (2 or 3 nights at a time), Darin would stay in my home and take excellent care of my adorable Patrick. Sometimes I would have to travel for 7 to 10 days at a time, but I never worried about Patrick...Darin would stay at my home to feed him, administer his medication, and take him for long walks. I was both confident and comfortable knowing that Patrick was being cared-for with the same amount of love and attention that he was use to receiving from me. Darin fell in love with Patrick...and Patrick loved Darin very much. Every morning Patrick would wait inside my front door waiting for Darin to arrive greeting him with a big hug. (It’s true...animals are a better judge of humans than humans are !). Right up to Patrick’s very last day on this earth, Darin was there for him. Frankly, I don’t how I could have managed during Patrick’s illness without Darin’s help. Darin is responsible, punctual, reliable, intelligent, mature and respectful. His character and integrity are above reproach. He has a key to my home and security system, and I trusted him with the most treasured part of my life...my Patrick. Someday I will have another dog (I’m still working through the grieving process following Patrick’s death). When I do, I hope that Darin is still available to share his passion for pets with me again. Robert J Cunningham MPAS PA-C South San Francisco, CA
Darin is a very patient and calm person. He loves to be active with his own dog so I know that the dogs he will be in charge of will be well taken care of.
Darin is fantastic with dogs and extremely reliable. He treats our dog so well and always takes him on nice, long walks/runs. He is our go-to sitter if we ever need one.
