“Declan is amazing with dogs, he has training experience and is able to be flexible with different type of dog using different techniques . He trained our puppy In less than two weeks. He loved dogs and we feel very comfortable and at ease leaving our dog with him always. He has great communication skills and always send us pictures and details about our dog while we are gone. Highly recommended.”

“Declan loves and cares for dogs which makes him so easy to recommend. Watching him with both a puppy and an older dog showed me he knows how to provide proper guidance and structure while understanding puppy energy. Seeing his kindness and care with an older dog and his ability to connect with each dog and give them the patience and understanding they might need was so appreciated and allowed me to have complete trust.”

“Declan went above and beyond when he watched my pup over a long weekend! This was the first time I had left my dog with a sitter and was really nervous about being away from him. Not only did Declan alleviate my worry by sending very regular pictures and updates, but it was clear by how happy my dog was that he was having the time of his life! I cannot recommend Declan enough; his deep care and commitment to the wellbeing of my dog was truly exceptional and my pup can’t wait to see him again!”
