Pet Sitting Darby

“Callie is just the sweetest pet sitter! Not only did she provide tons of cuddles and play, she even left a treat jar for Bailey and a thank you card after she was gone. What a sweet sentiment! Bailey appreciated the treats so much! And the thank you card was so sweet! Thank you Callie for that extra special touch! We will be sure to use her services in the future!”

“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also had ferrets and a snake as pets. There was a period of time where, I had 3 dogs of my own at the same time. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I am a nurse that works from home full-time therefore, your pet will have companionship throughout the day. I will enjoy having the company of your pet while I am working as well. I have administered medications to animals as directed by pet owners and veterinarians. I am able to administer oral and topical medications. I have confidently cared for recently spayed/neutered animals. I am experienced in puppy potty/feeding routines, crate training as well as positive reinforcement with or without treats. While caring for your family’s fur baby, I will treat them like family and as directed per your wishes. I will attempt to adhere to their routines to make the transition of not being at home easier for them. There will be plenty of built in time for attention, potty breaks and playtime. Your furbaby will be made to feel at home here. I will make every attempt to adhere to their home routine as much as possible to lessen the stress of this transition. I have a small unfenced grassy area that is available for quick potty breaks. For exercise and the longer potty breaks, we would go on walks through the neighborhood. I currently walk approximately 2 miles (weather permitting) for my own physical fitness therefore if your pup is willing and able, I would love the company. Typically, when I have watched friends and family's dogs we took walks 3 times a day. There will always be room for other accommodations if more or less walking is needed. I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfy while they sleep at night and rest during the day. There is a clean doggy bed and plenty of blankets to choose from if laying on the floor as I have hardwood floors. Please feel free to bring and favorite toys or advise of any activities that your pet enjoys as it is my goal to make them feel at home. My home gets the morning and afternoon sun though the large front window which provides a space for your pet to sunbathe if they so choose. There is also a sitting windowsill for them to enjoy some outside activity with the safety of being indoors. As previously stated, I have a small, unfenced yard available for quick potty breaks. For dogs, majority of their bathroom breaks will be walks depending on their energy and activity level. For visiting kitty's the litter box will likely be placed in my semi-finished basement unless other stipulations are discussed. Your kitty will be lovingly guided to the litter box to get acclimated to it's whereabout. I will provide the desired updates, pictures and communicate any issue timely so that you can feel at ease that your beloved pet is being well cared for. As a previous pet owner, I understand the worries of handing your beloved pet over to someone to care for them as you do. I assure you that your pet will be well loved and cared for here.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and caring with both our dog and cats.

About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

“She was absolutely amazing. She was on time to the visit and made sure to spend plenty of quality time with my cat so she wasn’t lonely. She took amazing care of her I highly recommend!!”

I will provide fun and activities for your dog. I can come to your house or the dog comes to my house. If you feel more comfortable with just your dog at my house that can be arranged. I know how some dogs sometimes prefer to be the only pet at home. I currently work at home and available all day. I can provide the constant attention your dog will need. I have a fenced in yard. I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby. I offer dog baths for an additional fee if interested.

About: Currently accepting new clients!!! Hello! My name is Khai. I am currently a college student (online - so I am often available) studying Engineering and available for cat sitting. My nickname is Kitty and some of my friends called me "Kitty Khai Khai" since I'm very affectionate with kitties ​and I happen to get along with shy, anxiety fueled, or aggressive kitties. I'm originally from Myanmar. Back home at my parents', we end up adopting lots of street cats over 20 years since they happened to stop by and end up living at our house. My parents has raised cats like their own grand children, so I grew up nurturing cats including their kitten babies and senior cats. I handle kitties gently with love and great care, and am very attentive to their needs. I understand how cat parents feel while you're away from your cats; I'm here to make sure you could enjoy your trip while knowing your kitties are well cared for and in safe hands. The well being, happiness and comfort of your kitty is my top priority! I hope to adopt my own cat in the city when I finally finished college... but for now I will get some kitty time in watching and caring for yours! :) Also, I am fully vaccinated + booster shot!! I wash hands before feeding/ touching the kitties and wear a mask when pick up/ drop off at my home and in clients' home. Regular check in/ check out time for kitties are after 4 pm, but I am willing to work with you depending on your needs. 😊 I offer boarding at my home and visiting client's home for drop in services. I have no children and no pets at my home. It has been my life long dream to have a kitty hotel where a kitty guest can enjoy their stay with lots of pets and attention from me and have all the cat trees, toys and amenities. When I was in the house buying process, I chose this home specifically, since it’s spacious for kitties to roam around and lots of windows with sunlight where kitties can enjoy watching outside. I have set it up as a kitty hotel where it’s a vacation place for kitties to chill and relax and spend time with me. My home sweet home is located in a cozy neighborhood and completely safe and warm environment for kitties. Kitties are never allowed outdoors.
