About Darrian H.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m walking or doing drop-in visits, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take time to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I enjoy offering a mix of structured walks—with light training and engagement—and unstructured, sniffy walks that allow your dog to explore, decompress, and just be a dog. Both are valuable from a training and mental enrichment perspective, and I adjust each outing to suit your dog’s mood and energy that day. I also love working on confidence building—especially with shy, nervous, or under-socialized dogs. Whether it’s taking things slow, building trust through consistency, or encouraging small wins, I’m patient and supportive in helping dogs come out of their shell at their own pace. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets meaningful attention—whether that’s active play, calm companionship, a training refresh, or just a potty break with a familiar face. I follow all care instructions closely, and I always treat your home and your pet with the respect and care they deserve.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my passion for both mental and physical enrichment for every dog I care for. I’m an avid hiker and dog sport enthusiast who genuinely enjoys working with dogs—not just walking them, but engaging their minds and bodies through purposeful activity. I grew up on a farm where I worked closely with dogs and horses, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and energy levels. That foundation shaped how I approach pet care today: with patience, consistency, and a focus on fulfilling a dog’s needs beyond the basics. Whether it’s structured training sessions, scent work, swimming, high-intensity workouts, or long hikes, I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality and energy level. I truly believe a tired dog is a happy dog, and I love helping pets feel confident, stimulated, and satisfied.
