About Darrian
CURRENTLY ONLY BOARDING/WALKING WEEKENDS AND SCHOOL HOLIDAYS 🙂
COLLECTION/DROP OFF FROM 3PM FRIDAYS BEFORE A WEEKEND STAY
I have always loved animals of all shapes and sizes. I grew up writing "A Farm" on every birthday and christmas list, lots of land and furry friends is still the ultimate goal! As a teen I volunteered at the local SPCA and walked neighbours dogs regularly. As an adult, with my own 2 children, we currently do not have a dog of our own but the love is still there. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from my Nanas small chihuahua, to fostering 2 big boofhead Lab x. I have always had family pets during my life, I have experience in handling, bathing, providing medication if needed, basic training reinforcement and overall absolutely adoring the animals.
With my region being battered by Cylone Gabrielle in 2023, I spent my days walking and loving on the dogs that were housed in the emergency animal shelter. This was incredibly rewarding and I decided I would love to continue helping people by caring for and walking their fur babies.
During school holidays and weekends, I will be available for local walks, adventure walks (dog park or local limestone tracks when available), in house visits and petsitting. I have my own reliable SUV transport, and also a fully fenced section.
I do have 2 cats in my household, but they are not bothered by dogs. I have 2 children also, but they are very dog friendly and experienced.
I also run Hound Homestays - Dog Boarding Services on Facebook, where I share most of my walking and boarding adventures.
I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
