About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have raised puppies to mature adults and eventually seniors. I am very good at using positive reinforcement with them. I’m a little bit knew to cats but I am learning quickly. I care about every animal deeply. I have a full time schedule 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I am happy to walk dogs or do drop into feed and care for your loved ones after that. I am also free most weekends for watching your loved ones as well. I am very respectful about my surroundings. Your loved ones needs are my first priority when I’m with them, and will respect any special requests you have for your loved ones.

He takes her to different parks and trails each day, and he always sends me pictures and updates. I can tell that he takes the time to get to know each dog and their individual needs. I also appreciate that Darrick is very responsive to messages and questions. He is always willing to work with me to make sure that patches walks are tailored to her needs. I feel confident leaving Patches in his care, and I know that she is always well-cared for. If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet walker, I highly recommend Darrick. He is the best”
