Reliable and mature gent, grandad, and dog lover

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs as well as small pets and have lots of experience in caring for our four legged friends. I have regularly pooch sat for friends and family and volunteered at animal rescue operations overseas. My current accommodation arrangement does not allow boarding with me however I am happy to provide day, overnight or extended stays for sitting, minding, feeding, walking and fun garden breaks for your furry friend(s). I have worked on oceanographic environmental projects as well as taught children and adults to dive and appreciate the underwater world. CRB certificate available, canine first aid and CPR trained

Darrin was punctual and very good with Maja, we’ll definitely use him again when Maja needs looking after.

Absolutely fantastic. I am the owner of a GSD that requires a lot of attention. Darrin is great dog walker. It's obvious he has experience with large dogs. He kept me updated and sent photos and videos from his walks. I'm very grateful. I recommend and will use his services again.
