Animals Before Humans!

Pet care experience

I have owned pets since I was a child. Animals always come first in our family. I have a mature cat and a silly 5 year old cockerpoo. I have owned fish, gerbils and hamsters when young, and am always happy to look after most animals. I won't offer to care for a pet if I don't think I will be able to serve them properly. I am a family man, married with a little girl who loves animals. She wants to be a vet, when she's older, just as I wanted to be. Animals are the little people that enrich our lives, and our home would never be a real home without animals. I am new to caring for animals in this way. It's hard to call it a job, as it's something I love doing. Anything else, just message me.

Nala my cat was looked after wonderfully by Darren. I received lots of photographs while I was away. Darren came to the house twice a day and gave her her medication, fed her and made sure her litter tray was cleared. Would recommend Darren wholeheartedly.

Couldn’t have taken better care of our sproodle puppy whilst we were at a family wedding in the area. We felt completely comfortable he would have a happy stay, and Darren was also accommodating to time changes last minute which was really helpful for us. Thank you!

When Darren met Holly, she was initially unsure, but that's the way she is. They soon made friends. When I collected her, she was relaxed and chilled. I have total confidence in Darren. It was great that his dog, Watson got on well with Holly. I loved that Holly was excited to see him and he always greeted her with love. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren and if I'm in the Barnstaple area again, I would definitely use him again. I also loved the photos he sent me.
