Pet care experience

I'll be your pet's 2nd favourite person

I've had dogs since childhood, a German Shepherd called Rebel and a Russell terrier called Spencer and I loved them both very dearly. I have great memories of them and hope to make more with your pets.

Our dog stayed with Darren and Julia for three weeks, and we couldn't be happier! We received regular updates and photos. She returned home incredibly happy, relaxed, and clearly had a brilliant time. Thank you for looking after her so well!

Darren and his partner were wonderful with my pointer Seamus for five nights. He was clearly well loved in my time away, and I was able to enjoy a stress free trip knowing he was having a blast. Thanks again!

Perfectly happy with Darren. My dog was well taken care of and updates were provided. Would have no issue booking with Darren again.

Shearer and Elsi have had day care with Darren and Julie before but this is the first time theyve have stayed overnight. They were very well looked after and cared for. I don’t leave them overnight very often but I would definitely recommend Darren, my guys were so relaxed and chilled when I collected them. They also looked very cosy and settled on the pics that i received when they were in Darren’s care. Such a relief to have someone I can trust with my guys.

Darren sent daily pictures during Rocko's stay to show that he was being very well looked after. I think he must have tested out every blanket in their house! Rocko has been very settled since coming back home (he has been a bit anxious after stays with other sitters in the past) so we know that he was happy in Darren's home. Thank you and see you again!

Darren and his partner were great with our girls. Our dogs immediately felt comfortable with them and they took them out for many walks and sent us plenty of photos! We would love to have them watch our dogs again!

Schedule

I'm a part time football coach and with the season over for the summer, I have a lot more free time to look after your pets. I am currently at any time during the day for dog walking and pet sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

Situated in the West End, I live close to the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park so there's no shortage of places to walk and play. I live in a flat with an enclosed communal garden which is ideal for over night pet sitting. The area is quiet meaning that more anxious dogs can properly relax.
