Darren was excellent with Ralph, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Super efficient with communication and kept me well up to date with how Ralph was. Will definitely be using Darren again. Thank you!

Leaving your precious friends with a stranger in your own home is a daunting and nerve racking thought. That is, until you meet Darren. He has a demeanor that is both reassuring, calming and more importantly, your little friends are in good hands. Indeed, we arrived back after 15 nights away to happy dogs, a pristinely clean home and a happy dog sitter. The great news, no more anxiety before the next holiday and just pray Darren is available.

It's the first time of using Rover. I must say that Darren was a very professional young man and he looked after my dogs and house like he was a family member. I will be using him again next time we are going away. The only thing I would change on the web site is the contract information for sitter and home owner is correct.

Darren looked after my Jack Russell puppy for the day and evening and was fantastic. Sent lots of photos, videos and updates. Also fed my guinea pigs! Mika was very happy 😊

Schedule

After taking the majority of 2025 off due to a bad injury, I am back to business and looking to build up my clients again. I currently work full time over 4 days (Tuesday to Friday) however I work remotely and as long as there is access to Wi-Fi (for overnight stays) I would be able to take regular breaks in order to take the animals out.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Darren can host up to 1 pet per night
If your animals have any additional needs. Please let me know in advance. This would not be an issue as I have had previous experience with this.
