Del looks after my dog Cindy and he looked after my dog Lady before she passed away earlier this year. Both girls love him and he looked after them very well, especially when Lady was ill.
Derek at Finchley Dog Walkers has house sat and walked our 2 rescue dogs for a number of years. They are both quite anxious generally and can become over excited nearby other dogs and humans. Del has a unique and calm patience with them and formed a close bond that has been difficult with other people in the past, Derek is reliable, conscientious and trustworthy and a pleasure to know.

October 19, 2025 at 1:08 pmDerek lived in and looked after our dog whilst we were away on holiday. Prior to going away he did a meet and greet session, also taking time to understand Archie’s routine and quirks. During this session Derek demonstrated that he is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviours, which was reassuring given Archie can be reactive on occasions. Whilst away Derek kept us informed, sharing pictures and updates from his time with Archie. We returned home to a well looked after house and a happy dog, and would highly recommend Derek’s services.
