Compassionate Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life! Spent time with all types. From tiny lap dogs that just want to cuddle to working dogs that love to bite! Brand new puppies to seniors that. I love them all. I’m very active and attentive and will give your pet everything they need and more!

Darren and his wife were such an answer to our prayers. We boarded our dog with them over the Christmas holidays and we were so relieved knowing our dog was in their care. Our dog had not done well interacting with dogs in the past, but by the end of her stay, she was playing with their own dog like they were lifelong friends. They also sent us text updates, photos and videos while we were away to show us their progress and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of help taking care of their dogs.

Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!

Darren has spent most of life with dogs and is very passionate about them. He is great at training and enjoys taking his dog to the park, on hikes, and living an active lifestyle with him. He is reliable, patient, and very attentive. He will take time to build trust with tour dog to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
