About David
I’m a professional dog walker with over 8.5 years’ experience, offering weekday daycare and home boarding services— essentially a small, home-based dog crèche. I also provide solo walks for local clients in the West Hill, Dartford area, ensuring each dog receives individual attention tailored to their needs.
I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and 5-star council licensed, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My priority is always your dog’s happiness, safety, and wellbeing.
We recently relocated from Battersea (SW11) to our own home in Dartford, which has a fully fenced, secure garden — ideal for daycare and boarding. I have a regular, trusted group of clients who use my daycare and boarding services year-round.
Animal welfare is very important to us. We actively foster dachshunds for a UK charity and currently own a 9-year-old neutered German Shepherd rescue. I grew up in New Zealand with dogs, including our family Labrador, Benji, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life.
I’m a 57-year-old married man who spent over 30 years working as a professional chef — and I can honestly say that caring for dogs is far more fulfilling than long hours in a hot kitchen! As Kiwis, we love the great outdoors, so this career has been a natural and rewarding choice.
If you have any enquiries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to help and welcome meet & greets to ensure the right fit for you and your dog.
