Highlights
Pet care experience
Ex police dog handler, known as the dog whisperer
I'm an ex police handler for 28 years, retired so home most of the days. I've had dogs all of my life and have lots of experience from puppies to senior dogs and problem dogs. I have lots of beautiful beach walks around me . Lovely quiet home no children with fully enclosed garden Your dog will be treated like a family member and has free range of the house and furniture
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Darren looked after my German Shepherd puppy for several nights. Literally, nothing was too much trouble. A very calm and clean household. Darren is visibly experienced and well suited to dogs of all ages. I was kept updated with photos and messages. It was like leaving my dog with a well trusted family member! Drop-off and pick-up was smooth and simple. When I arrived to pick my dog up, he was happy, calm, relaxed and freshly bathed. Darren is a highly recommended, tried and trustworthy boarding option for anyone in need of true pet care.
Darren kept me up to date with loads of photos and it was clear my two dogs had a great time and really bonded with Darren.
Darren and his family are lovely they made our pair of Beagles feel at home the second we arrived. This put our nerves at ease too, it’s our first time leaving the dogs He treated them like his own and kept us updated throughout. We will have no worries about leaving them in his care again. Thank you Darren and family
Very well looked after, highly recommend Darren who looked after Lady for us. Will use Darren again when the need arises.
Picked up Teddy this morning obviously had a great time with Darren and family. Had been worried he wouldn’t settle as rescue dog but no worries and he has come back happy and chilled. Will definitely book again 🐕
The boys had a lovely break with Darren and having forgotten to bring their food he kindly provided some to save us a return trip! Many thanks

Schedule
I'm retired so your dog will have my full attention. I'm home all day and go out for nice long beach walks. I can do some training with young dogs/puppies if you require
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully enclosed garden, my home is pet safe. I don't currently have any animals at home since I lost my ex police dog recently. So have a lot of time to give to your dogs. I can crate your pet if preferred if not they can have the run of the house.
A typical day
I love to take your dog on nice stimulating walks in parks and beaches. I try to keep to your dogs normal routine so it is a home from home experience.
