My nervous dog felt comfortable with Darryl almost immediately - such a wonderful surprise and a relief! Lovely person who is great company for our doggie. Good communications throughout, responsible, and focused on understanding our needs to help our anxious dog. Highly recommend.

Wonderful first visit. Darryl was able to immediately read my anxious defensive dog, and behave accordingly. It warmed to Darryl faster than I've seen it warm to anyone before! Darryl is calm, confident and knowledgeable. He asked all the right questions about care, quirks and routines. We are looking for a pet/house sitter for the first time, and we are excited and reassured to have found Darryl.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Daz highly enough! He was absolutely fantastic with our rescue Husky Jasmine and our very shy cat Tabitha. Communication was brilliant from start to finish. He constantly kept us updated with messages, photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and made being away so much easier. We had a storm on the first night which caused the garage to flood. Rather than letting us worry about it while we were away, he dealt with the situation himself and sorted everything out. That went above and beyond what we could have expected. We came home to two very happy pets and had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Daz with Jasmine and Tabitha again. Thank you so much! ❤️

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!

We honestly couldn’t imagine leaving Roscoe with anyone else now. Darryl has been absolutely incredible from start to finish and this latest house sit just confirmed again why we trust him so much. Leaving your dog and home with someone for nearly two weeks is a huge thing, but Darryl made the entire experience completely stress-free. Roscoe absolutely adores him — the excitement he shows when Darryl arrives says everything. It’s so obvious how genuine his love and understanding of animals is, and Roscoe feels completely safe, relaxed, and happy around him. Throughout the stay, Darryl kept us updated every single day with photos, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell he doesn’t just “watch” pets — he truly bonds with them, learns their personalities, routines, little quirks, and genuinely cares for them like they’re his own. What also sets Darryl apart is the respect and care he shows for our home. Every time we return, the house is spotless and feels calm and cared for. He goes above and beyond in ways most people simply wouldn’t. When our plans changed and we needed an extra day added onto the booking, Darryl was so accommodating and helpful without hesitation, which took so much pressure off us. Reliable, kind, trustworthy, professional, calm, patient, and genuinely one of the nicest people you could meet. Booking Darryl is honestly one of the best decisions we’ve made for Roscoe. We wouldn’t use anybody else now. Thank you again Daz — Roscoe already misses you! 🐶⭐

I honestly feel so at ease leaving our big fur baby and home in Darryl’s care. His communication, passion, respect, kindness and care always shine through. He’s the most incredible human and our girl loves him almost as much as we do, although if she could talk I’m sure she would say she loves him more. Thanks again, and we look forward to see you next time!

Darryl was absolutely incredible! So easy going, good sense of humour and a real professional! Can see he absolutely loves animal's and brings clam and positive energy to your home. I have very high maintenance indoor cats and one that’s extremely nervous! So to be sent photos of them playing and sitting with him was everything! 🥹 My house was spotless when I got back! So grateful! I have already booked Darryl again for the summer as I wouldn’t want to miss out on having him! The peace of mind is everything! Knowing the cats were happy and the house was looked after! Thank you Darryl, you are a star! ⭐️

We were very nervous about leaving our pampered pooch with someone other than a family member as we hadn't done this before and Otto is almost 7 yrs old. Darryl was very understanding, and met us via zoom initially, to talk through our requirements and concerns and then travelled out to our house twice to spend time with Otto and get to know him, ahead of staying at our house for a week to take care of him. Darryl is clearly passionate about what he does and a true animal lover (he even rescued an injured bird he found whilst on a walk with Otto and took it to a sanctuary). Darryl followed our established routine for Otto and provided extra enrichment (extra walks/games and play and cuddles) to ensure he was treated like the king 👑that he is. Darryl shared several updates each day, together with photos and video clips to reassure us that Otto was ok. When we came home Darryl had bathed Otto ready for our return and had cleaned our house. We can't fault the care Otto received and would recommend Darryl to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Darryl took the stress and worry away for us. Thank you so much 😍

If you're looking for an amazing person to care for your dog look no further than Daz. I would really like to gatekeep him for myself but that's not fair. He is the definition of above and beyond and Dwight loves seeing him, I only have to say Daz's name and he goes wild in anticipation. Could not rate highly enough would be infinite stars if it was possible. Thanks as always mate!

Daz was amazing from the moment I sent the request. Fantastic communication, kind, friendly and left the house better than he found it! Roxy adored him and was very relaxed and calm. We had updates throughout the stay and had no concerns at all. I wouldn’t use anybody else and would highly recommend him to look after your fur babies! Thank you again!

My dog Yoshi, a stubborn but cute Shiba Inu, was on his best behaviour around Darryl! I’m usually worried about leaving Yoshi because of his quirks, but Darryl just gets it with dogs. I feel absolutely certain my Yoshi will be well taken care of, and Darryl’s service is 10/10. Thank you!
