Highlights
Pet care experience
5⭐ Trusted & Reliable Sitter
🐾Client Notice🐾 My goal is to build trust, comfort, and a genuine bond with every pet I care for. Many clients joke that their dogs fall in love with me — and I take that as the highest compliment. I provide calm, structured, and reliable care that helps pets stay relaxed, happy, and comfortable in their normal routine while you’re away. I have professional pet care experience, including working at a leading pet retailer where I cared for a wide range of animals through feeding, wellbeing checks, and health monitoring to high welfare standards. I also have college-level experience in grooming and canine behaviour, along with certified Dog First Aid training. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including: 🐶 Puppies – routine building, confidence development, basic manners, and positive reinforcement. 🐕🦺 Senior Dogs – medication support, patience, slower walks, mobility assistance, and companionship. 🐕 Anxious or Rescue Dogs – calm handling, trust-building, gentle routines, and stress-free care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, which is why I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and respectful care for your home as well as your pets. Every booking is more than pet sitting — it’s complete peace of mind. 🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, and bedtime habits. I respect your home as if it were my own and always leave it clean, tidy, and well looked after. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in safe hands.
Ratings and reviews
We honestly couldn’t recommend Daz enough! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, we knew Maggie & Mac were in the safest hands. He’s so caring, reliable and genuinely loves the dogs he looks after. We had regular updates and photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, settled and having the best time. They absolutely adore him and get so excited to see him! 🥰 He also looked after our home so well, we came back to the house absolutely spotless, which was such a lovely surprise after travelling home. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after our two. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️
From the first moment you came to meet Lola I knew she would be well looked after. I absolutely loved the pictures and videos you shared. It gave me peace of mind that I knew she was happy. I will definitely be booking again.
Jet had a trial with Daz today and we were so happy with how it went. He warmed to him instantly and I can tell from the photos and videos that he was having a great time. Definitely booking again so that we can finally go on holiday.
The most wonderful dog‑sitting experience we could have hoped for Daz took care of our French Bulldog, Chloe, for an overnight stay, and honestly, it meant so much to us to see how loved and safe she was with him. Chloe can be a sensitive little soul, but she settled with Daz instantly, that alone speaks volumes. He kept us updated, reassured us throughout, and treated her with the same affection and patience we do at home. She was calm, happy, and clearly adored. It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely gets her and cares as deeply as we do.We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, attention, and warmth Daz showed her. It made the whole experience stress‑free and genuinely heartwarming.We’ll absolutely be booking again.
Darryl was a fantastic house sitter for us and our two dogs absolutely loved him. At our initial meeting he took the time to get acquainted with our older dogs Jet and Cinders and asked lots of questions to help him understand their needs. He visited before the main booking period to spend time with them so they were comfortable around him. Throughout our holiday, Darryl kept in touch every day with updates on their wellbeing and lots of gorgeous photos of their daily activities. Darryl was very happy with us having a doggy camera and encouraged whatever we needed to put our minds at rest as this was the first time we have ever left them. Our pets were thoroughly spoilt and quite sad to see him leave! The house was left spotless as well.
Darryl was amazing! This was our first time away from our newly adopted and nervous rescue and Darryl's care for him was really fantastic. It enabled us to go away and not stress about Louie despite his need for round the clock accompaniment and reactivity towards other dogs. Darryl provided consistent updates, lovely photos and was really responsive to adjustments in handling for Louie as he spent more time with him. I honestly would recommend Darryl to anyone for a pet sit, especially if you have a slightly more tricky to handle little one as he built a really great bond with Louie and was also able to reinforce his training whilst we were away. Additionally, Daz definitely left the house tidier than when we left which was a lovely thing to come back to and very much appreciated! We will definitely be booking Darryl again for future sits!

Schedule
Pet care is a genuine part of my daily life, not just something I fit in around other commitments. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m flexible throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and can often accommodate last-minute bookings where availability allows. Your pet’s wellbeing always comes first, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
