Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & reliable
I have grown up with and looked after numerous dogs belonging to family & friends including Chihuahua mix, Labrador, Jack Russell, Border Collie and Spaniels. I am really keen to provide the care & peace of mind that your Dog is in the best hands. Since early 2022 I have had my own friendly playful Cockapoo called Ralph. Late 2023 I also fostered a 4 month old Dachshund for 6 weeks, that was eventually adopted at the end of the stay.

Ratings and reviews
Darren is just amazing! Bean settled very well with him as he provided the best environment for her. Darren cared a lot of providing Bean the best home like love, attention and kindness, followed the right path to manage her quirks and being super responsive sending updates and very cute pictures of Bean during her stay. Darren is a wonderful person totally recommended and definitely keeping him as first option to take care of Bean again! Thanks a lot!
Darren and his partner recently looked after our 10 year old Cockapoo Bailey for 8 days in September 2024. We have only ever left Bailey with family so it was a massive step for us to use a sitter. I didn’t need to worry though Darren was amazing he welcomed Bailey into his home with such love and care giving him loads of attention and cuddles, Bailey had two walks a day with there Cockapoo Ralph which Bailey loved. We got regular updates which was such a comfort meaning we could relax and enjoy our holiday. I couldn’t have left Bailey in any better place and will definitely use Darren again to sit Bailey, I think Bailey can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a home from home place for your dog to stay then Darren and his partner are definitely the right people. I would recommend anyone to use them.
Darren has been amazing ,welcoming our little cockerpoo Ruby into his warm and friendly home. She was treated like one of the family. Darren walked Ruby regularly and offered her a safe space to eat as she is a shy eater! Ruby felt so at home, she has even found her own special chair and cushion to sit on! It was lovely to receive daily pictures of Ruby. I would highly recommend Darren to look after your dog if you are looking for a friendly ,safe environment.
Sunny stayed with Darren & Tom for 10 nights. Sunny had the best time- so much so I was not sure he would want to come home! We received regular updates with photos and could see he was extremely well looked after and cared for. He also got on really well with gorgeous Ralph (who is just adorable!). We would not hesitate to leave our boy with them again and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Second stay and very happy. Received regular photos and updates, very friendly hosts. Had a relatively minor health concern during our stay but some helpful diet suggestions as well as help with food alternative during her stay. Happily recommend to others. Thanks again!
Buzz had an amazing time with Darren and Ralph . I received lots of updates which was really reassuring. Would definitely recommend Darren .

I am happy to be as flexible as possible to ensure your Dogs stay is as enjoyable as can be. I am aware every Dog has a routine & I am keen to not disrupt this.

A typical day
I love to go on walks throughout the week & try to find new walks at the weekend. These will help to tire out your dog & keep them stimulated. I can do on or off lead walks & have time to play.
