About Darian

Hey! My name is Darian.
I'm a hard working 24 year old with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. Throughout my life Iv'e had and taken care of a variety of animals ranging from cats and dogs to skinks and frogs, so I can assure you that your little furry (or scaly) buddy will be okay with me! Currently my partner and I have two little fur babies (cats) named Puma and Neo who, due to living near highways, we've harness trained from a very young age. We've also worked with sick and unwell rescues/strays through helping local fosters with rehoming or CNR Programs (Capture Neuter Release). During the COVID-19 period I lived with a member of a well known rescue and was able to really understand the nature of fostering and meet lots of new little furry buddies!

After seeing the extreme high and lows in rescuing and caring for unloved pets, I've recently decided to dedicate myself fully to the study of caring for animals by starting tertiary study under Animal Care. In saying this, I truly pride myself in treating everyone's pets like my own and am more than willing to dive right into the world of animals!

Some things to note about my service:

(Walking)

  • I can travel anywhere North of Albany/Browns Bay
  • This includes on or off leash walking, partial training if needed
  • (1-2 Day Visits)

    • I can travel anywhere between Dairy Flat and Waiwera
    • This includes feeding, medication admin, cleaning area/trays/cages and lots of mental/physical stimulation to keep your buddy occupied
    • (House Sitting)

      • I can travel anywhere North of Albany/Browns Bay
      • This includes following full routines such as timed feeding or specialized play/training as set by you, the owner!
      • Full communication (if requested) to ensure not only your fur-baby is safe but also your home is well kept
      • ALL services are available 24/7 as long as there's prior communcation :)

        Enough about me though... Can I pet your dog?

        Darian was a pleasure to deal with and kept us informed with daily reports.

        Our two airedale terriers were so happy and looked after.

        We would totally recommend Darian to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
