🐾 About me - Danielle
I have always been passionate about animals!

Welcome to DarlingPaws
Im Dani 👩‍🦰
I am a professional dog walker & pet carer, I provide solo walks, small pack walks, puppy/cat checks, nail trims, training, animal visits. Especially Canines. I had always dreamed of caring for animals and working with dogs, and have explored many aspects of dog care. I have studied Certificate in Veterinary Nursing, Animal Welfare Investigations and Canine Communication as well as other certificates. I have had several years training and looking after rescue dogs, as well as working in retail and pet care at Animates. Over the last 3 years I have worked as a handler at Doggy Day Cares as well as an Assistant Trainer at Puppy Classes. One of my greatest pleasures during this time was forming relationships with the dogs I cared for and enjoys their personalities. My purpose with Darling Paws is to give love and special care to each animal I meet in my life as well as fulfilling each dogs needs. I am a lover of many animals, I have experience with Fish, Rabbits, Guinea pigs, Birds, Mice and Rats. Pack numbers are kept small so that I can meet each individual dogs needs, in a responsible and caring way. I believe dogs, in order to be the best they can be ,need positive reinforcement, fun and exercise ,structure, socialisation, and training. I guarantee your dog will come home ,happy and stimulated both mentally and physically. Please message me for a free meet and greet so I can get to know you and your dog and get these adventures started!
