Hello! My name is Darcey currently on the Gold Coast around Merrimac/Robina. I have just returned after completing an animal degree at The University of Queensland, Gatton. I completed a Bachelor of Applied Science, which included studying various animal behaviours, especially dogs, as well as nutrition and overall animal health. While I love my animals, I want to share my passion with students, hence I am now studying to be a teacher. I will not be back at University until March 2019, so in the meantime I will start a casual position, so will be available at various times around work commitments.
My life is dedicated to my 2 year old collie x cattle dog Chip, I love taking him to the beach and anywhere that includes a new adventure for him. He grew up on a farm so he is amazing with all dogs and other animals. He is such a happy boy, very calming and has helped my other dog Boots come out of his shell. Boots avoided other dogs and had anxiety after a bad experience as a puppy, but he now loves doing everything Chip does. Chip is very gentle with all dogs. I never took Chip to puppy school, so I have trained him the basics and we also like to do a few tricks, so more than happy to do some with your beloved pooches.
I am offering a pet walking and visitation service, I am more than happy to come to you and give your pet some love. I am also starting doggy day care. I have an enclosed backyard which is small, but have a medium sized front yard and since I have no neighbours next door, there is a large green flat. I also have a little sandpit which I fill up for my dog so he has plenty of water.
As I am starting a Casual position I will be available on vsrious days, but when I am home, I am home all day to hang out with the pups. I love finding new places to take them, but the beach is one of my fav places! As I mentioned, I do have another dog Boots who is much smaller toy poodle x, and can nervous, but if he sees Chip hanging out with other dogs, he wants to get involved and have a little play, but also happy being locked away for his naps as he is a little old man.
Since Boots has had such experience with multiple surgeries, I am familiar with administering oral medication or flea/ tick/ worm treatment.
If you are after any other information, please dont hesitate to ask!
I cant wait to meet all of your adorable pets and give them as much love as I give my boy :)

Darcey is always a wonderful carer for my dog and I will be asking her to walk Ryder again in the future. :)
Darcy has done a wonderful job in looking after my did Tank and Coco. Her furkids are adorable and they all enjoy their walks together. Darcy sent me some great photos throughout their day stays which makes you feel good own furkids are in good hands...
