Pet care experience
Happy Tails on Happy Trails
If you're looking for a caring and reliable dog walker who understands the importance of your canine companion's happiness and well-being, you've come to the right place! With years of experience, and a lifelong love for dogs that began with my childhood dog Chip. I know just how to make each walk an exciting adventure for your pup. I’m here to ensure that your dog gets the attention, exercise, and socialization they need while you’re busy with your day. Whether it’s a playful romp in the park, a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, or simply some quality time spent together, I tailor each experience to your dog's unique personality and preferences. As someone who has owned several dogs over the course of my life, I understand the bond you share with your pet and how important it is to find someone trustworthy. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll treat your dog like family by providing love, care, and plenty of belly rubs. I'm completely at ease when it comes to all aspects of dog care - from scooping poop on walks, to refilling water bowls, to dishing out treats, and providing praise. Currently I'm a proud dog uncle to my local friends' and relatives' pups, so I’m always ready to share a smile, a treat, or a game of fetch with any furry friend I encounter.

Ratings and reviews
Darren took great care of George and was very communicative - thank you Darren!
Darren was absolutely amazing with my mini Aussie, Casey, last weekend. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving Casey in his care. He was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. Casey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I really appreciated the updates and photos. It made such a difference knowing Casey was having a great time and let me focus on spending quality time with my (human) family. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Darren again. Highly, highly recommend!

Schedule
I do have a full time job and work from 8:00am to 4:30 PM Monday - Friday in a hybrid remote/in office role so my availability is weekday evenings (after 5pm), and anytime on the weekends. But I do also live with my girlfriend who also works from home and loves animals so your pet is rarely left alone and will be well cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is the foundation of my service. I'm committed to reliability, punctuality, and clear communication with pet owners. I respect the confidentiality of my clients and their pets, treating each with the utmost care and discretion. I'm familiar with local pet-friendly areas and adapt my routes based on each dog's needs and environmental factors. I always clean up after pets and adhere to local regulations, ensuring a positive experience for the dogs and respecting our shared spaces.
A typical day
A typical day for me as your dog walker begins with our initial visit, where I greet your furry friend with enthusiasm before heading out for a refreshing walk. Each walk allows your dog to enjoy bathroom breaks, exercise, and playtime. After our stroll, I make sure they have fresh water and provide snacks if requested, along with some extra pets and cuddles to keep their day on a positive note. I spend quality time playing and giving them affection to ensure they feel loved and secure. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they are happy and well cared for.
