5⭐️ Dog care Stays, trusted by over 25 owners.
Pet care experience
I’m lucky enough to have plenty of time to ensure your dog gets a home away from home experience when they stay with me. I always ensure to stick to owners requirement so your dogs routine won’t get disrupted and treat your pet as one of my own. With lots of 5⭐️ Feedback you can feel assured your dog will be in great hands if your at work for the day or on a trip away.
Reviews
Darren was great with our lively dogs and they seemed to be very happy at his house. He was also very accommodating when we returned a little later than planned due to traffic. Would definitely recommend Darren and would be confident to use him again. Thank you.
Darren was the perfect "Stepdad" for Zeus & Luna. He kept us updated with photo's and messages while we were away which kept us at ease that our furry babies were enjoying their mini break as much as we were!
Darren looked after our poodle Tommy for the first time on Monday. We were delighted with the service Darren provided, he responded very quickly to our enquiries, came to our house at the agreed time, was very friendly and Tommy took to him straight away! Darren looked after our house and Tommy very well and we will certainly use his services again.
Darren is so friendly, and obviously loves dogs. I was very nervous about leaving my girl for the night as she had never stayed away from me, but she had a wonderful time! Darren kept me informed about how she was getting on, and really put my mind at ease. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again, and Cara loved him, so would be happy to go back!

Fenced gardens, dog friendly house and lots of nearby parks and woodlands to go for walks. I’m used to giving medication and have lots of patience even when being woken up at 6am. I am fully insured just incase anything may happen, have competed a dog first aid course and have just started to work on a dog behavioural .

Information Darren C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements or behavioural issues ahead of time, so that we can make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.
A typical day
I have learnt very quickly that every dog is a bit different and have been able to adjust my routine to fit their needs. Whether it be 2 or 3 walks or they need to have extra attention because they are a bit anxious about being away from home I’ve gained the experience to deal with Different situations and behavioural traits. Dogs will get a minimum of 2 walks a day, we normally make sure we go to an open are for play and will allow off rad (if the owner is happy to) or an included area to run around of not. There are lots of great dogs nearby so there is a lot of socialising. Finally the most important part is understanding the dogs routine and making sure that they come back to their owners in the same pattern as they come to me, if there are any special requests then please ensure you let me know.

I’ve always been around dogs since being a child and have my own bulldog called George who I got at a puppy. I have been flat out caring for all types of dogs over the last two months which I’ve enjoyed every minute of and learnt so much. I have great feedback and have been able to offer a loving and caring residence/ experience for all the dogs I’ve cared for. I’m very lucky to currently be on a fully paid career break until Feb so am at home full time and although wasn’t planning on it have now started to look at looking after dogs as a future career. I am used to having a dog in the house and George has been great getting on well with every boarder we have had in the last two months. I have also been completing several house drop ins and walks that perplexed have requested.
