Availability
I live a fairly active lifestyle, so we are out and about every day for a nice long walk. We love to walk down along the river weather permitting, and we go to Exmouth a couple of times a week for a good run on the beach. We also like to chill in town at a few dog friendly cafes, where they get lots of fuss, so of course your dog would be with us.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a basement flat with direct access to a large, secure, enclosed garden that they access to all day. The garden is surrounded on all sides by a 7ft high solid brick wall that is escape proof, perfect for the dogs to free roam and play in complete safety at their leisure. I also live 50 metres from Belmont Park which we visit several times a day. The park is perfect for dogs to socialise as we have a large group of local dog walkers.

Information Darran N. would like to know about your pet
I understand that a lot of dogs have great recall when with their own owner, however I wont ever risk your pets safety, so I use a 10 metre long line or extendable lead when in the park to give your pet as much freedom to roam as possible but under complete control and in total safety. For boarders, I will insist on a meet & greet prior to the booking. It’s for the owners benifit to ensure they are happy with where their pet will be staying. I like to meet in the park on neutral ground, then walk the short distance to my house so the owner can see the garden. Bookings: Due to a spate of fake bookings from blank profiles, unresponsive owners, and owners making multiple bookings with numerous other sitters, I unfortunately can now only accept bookings from bio’s with a full dog profile, and the booking needs to be confirmed as soon as I accept. Please feel to message me if you have any questions. Thanks Darran
A typical day
My boy loves a good run and nice long walk, my local park is Belmont Park which is right behind my home, so we visit several times a day.We visit Exmouth beach once a week for a run on the sand, any dog I am looking after will come with us also. We also love a walk along the river, weather permitting, and we often pop into town to a few dog friendly cafes, so again any dog I am looking after will be with us. I am very aware of different dogs needs, so I never let anyones dog off lead, and I am also aware anxious dogs need to be kept calm and not overwhelmed.

Experienced & trusted dog sitter
Pet care experience
I’m a reliable, calm, trusted dog owner & sitter with experience of small & large breeds. I have had dogs all my life and grew up with dogs in the household. I have trained my own dog to a very high standard of recall and manners, and he gets along with all other dogs. My calm & confident approach has resulted in a harmonious, calm household that pets I have looked after settle into quickly.
Reviews
Darran was excellent with my dog Maverick. He clearly loved his time with Darren and was happy and well looked after. Highly recommended, and I’d definitely use him again. Thanks, Darren!
Darran did a great job looking after our elderly Jack Russell, Buzz. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept us updated throughout. Darran has a very professional, caring and reassuring approach and is clearly experienced…overall highly recommended!
Thank you for looking after Harry so well, he looked happy and chilled out with you and Frank. Glad he was ok for you. Happy to leave him in your care again. See you in July for his next visit.
Wotsit had a great stay with Daran and Frank again! Wotsit loves her mini holidays!! Daran is always amazing with her and communicates fabulously! Thank you 😊
