Ratings and reviews
Everything went smoothly with house sit. Daryl and Veronica are lovely and I could see in photos that my rescue dog Freddie was very relaxed in their company. Highly recommend 😊
We booked Daryl for the second time and honestly couldn’t be happier! He was amazing with Cleo again and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell how much he cares about them, and they were so happy and settled when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Daryl again — he’s brilliant! 🐶❤️
Reggie always looks forward to his walks with Daryl and I feel at ease knowing he is comfortable and happy when walking with him. Daryl has been very accommodating and quick to respond to adjustments or changes in the calendar, even at short notice. Overall, I highly recommend Daryl as a dog walker as he has taken the time to get to know Reggie and is happy to take Reggie to his favourite walking spot!
Amazing Cats adored him! Kept me updated and took some lovely photos!
We used Daryl for the 1st time this summer and quite simply he was fantastic with our dog and cat. He quickly put them at ease and they thoroughly enjoyed their time with him. Daryl was always on time throughout and always gave them both lots of attention and care. He was also very respectful when visiting our home too. Would 100% recommend and will be using Daryl in the future.
Absolutely amazing gave me loads of updates, and I know they all had the best care thanks again!
