I care for yours like my own! 🤞🏼
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of many family dogs since I was young, as of 3+ years ago I have raised 2 personal dogs that are both a Siberian husky breed with my partner. I have 2+ years worth of experience in assisting my partner in handling clients dogs that vary from most breeds, size and personalities. Within those 2+ years I have taken up plenty of individual bookings which primarily includes house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks leaving most clients satisfied and confident.
Reviews
Darren started helping me with my dog when my dog walkers moved away and has been great with her from the very beginning. Having two huskies, he seems to know how to deal with bigger dogs very well and is a good communicator, plus he helped save me in a pinch! Thanks!
All good here. Darren took care of my 3 cats for 5 days, one of whom required daily meds. Two of my cats are difficult to distinguish and he was very cautious in establishing identity. The house was tidy upon re-entry. Recommended.
Darren house sat for us again and once again did an excellent job. He is trustworthy, reliable and attentive to our animals.
Darren was awesome, very quick to respond and punctual. He was very accommodating for last minute changes and took great care of our dogs.
About Darren N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When providing care for clients pets, the most important objective is building comfort and trust in both the pet(s) and the owner(s) themselves. I understand every pet owner has their own way of providing care for their pets. A meet and greet where animal routine and care can be discussed is a great way to build comfort and trust as I typically do my best to mirror the owners routine for pet care.

Fun activities with me include playing fetch and tug o war! For walks, I like to explore different routes around the neighborhood or switch up the usual routes.

I am currently studying remotely from home which leaves me a very flexible schedule to watch over your fur babies and / or other animals. (Last minute bookings are okay if I’m available, for House sitting bookings I recommend trying to book in advance to reserve a slot)
