About: Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, trusted to handle everything from daily walks to feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. I have experience with energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, and even dogs with specific dietary or medical needs. My goal is always to keep pets safe, happy, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I'm available for boarding on weekdays from afternoon to evening. On the weekends I'm available from morning til evening. I am very flexible with job and will do everything possible to meet your needs. We have a fenced dog park within our compound with lots of playtime. I have a 2 year old female French builldog who will entertain your sweet baby while away. Also I have crates if you're fur baby needs to be crated with so much love and care.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for—like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, special diets, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. It’s more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly love doing. I currently have the flexibility to stay home full-time, with the exception of occasional appointments and a few hours on Wednesday evenings. This allows me to dedicate ample time throughout the day to walks, playtime, personalized care, and focused attention for each pet in my care. For a home in the city, we offer a generously sized, fully fenced backyard that provides plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. Our neighborhood is quiet and secure, making it ideal for walks if desired. There are no children or other pets in the household, ensuring a calm environment and allowing your dog to receive my full, undivided attention.

“Darren and Meredith were very accommodating and helpful when we needed doggy daycare on short notice. Energetic and welcoming when we arrived and even gave our dog a gift for the road when we picked him up. He was happy and well cared for. Thanks for giving our fur baby a great day!”


About: Please take a moment to read this before you send a doggy daycare request: **Doggy Daycare/Pack walks** Any pups that are dog friendly and trained on and off leash can attend. Your pup joins other well mannered pups on a weekly walk/adventure. We explore new places, practice proper socialization skills, and practice real world training experiences, This is offered Monday-Friday and a minimum of three days per week is required. Drop off/pick up services included! - Growing up I always had a cat or dog around. I have also taken care of countless of dogs and cats along the way- whether they were a stray I picked up, a family’s, friend’s, or neighbor’s. I’ve always had a passion for animals more specifically dogs. For three years I worked at a dog training/boarding facility as a kennel technician and a trainer. I was taught how to efficiently care for 25+ dogs at a time in a kennel environment. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside at specific times, feeding, administering medication, prioritizing safety, keeping kennels, and the dogs clean. Within the first couple of months working as a kennel technician I quickly developed a love for dog training and soon was promoted and worked as a trainer at the facility. I learned multiple ways to teach dogs different skills, work through behavioral issues, and how to better help owners understand and communicate with their dogs. From there I went on to work at a local dog park/bar for just about three years as well. I closely monitored the dogs in the park to make sure they were playing in a fair and safe manner. I had to be able to read the dogs in the park and deescalate possible tension between dogs to prevent any scuffles or accidents. After the dog park closed I have gotten back into dog training again and have recently started a pack walking service. I’ve also been here on rover since 2022! As of right now I’m doing Rover full time! However I do run a structured pack walk with dogs I’ve trained or have received previous training in the mornings and I also train Board and trains at my house/on pack walks. My schedule is open for early morning drop ins/walks, mid day, and evenings. I can do drop ins multiple times a day but please keep in mind I do not stay overnight. I can board your pup(s) overnight at my house if they have received training previously by another trainer or if they have been trained by me. I provide loving care in the comfort of your pet’s own space! When we leave for trips or go to work it can often cause our pets to feel anxious or stressed and taking them away from the home they find most comforting can often worsen these feelings, especially in very chaotic environments like conventional boarding facilities. By keeping them in their own environment it can be more comforting than boarding them away from your home. This may also be more comforting for you too! For boarding your pup must be kennel trained for when I briefly the house and for meal times! However if your pup is boarding with me they will usually be out free roaming with my pups while I’m home and they will join me on my weekly pack walks as well! Safety and comfort are my top priority when it comes to pet sitting. Finding someone you can trust is very hard. I will try my very best to keep you as updated as possible by sending as many photos as I can as well as on every rover drop in card I will leave a description about what we did during the drop in so you aren’t left hanging! On walks I will do everything in my power to make sure your dog is safe and gets the time they need to sniff, explore, and do their business. I can drop in a few times a day if you are out of town or if you work long shifts and you’d prefer your pup to stay at home. I drop by and give potty breaks,food, water, play time, exercise, whatever your best friend may need I will try my best to provide it!
