Dog Boarding Darwin

“This is the second time we have booked a stay with Andrea and we will definitely be coming back. My dog seems to like staying here! Andrea easily handles a special (quirky) diet. It was great to get a daily photo and update. Drop off and pick up were flexible. I’m so glad we discovered this sitter!”

“Angie did an amazing job watching my dog. Marsha had a great experience she must have been tuckered out from the playing caise she slept the whole day yesterday”

“We needed to travel over Christmas and couldn’t bring our dog with us. Amanda and her family took such great care Rue while we were away! She sent us the most adorable photos and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in a loving home! We will for sure reach out to Amanda in the future!”

“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”

Karen N.

“Kari & family made sure that Toby felt comfortable before I even left. She sent timely updates and questions to make sure that Toby received the best care possible while we were apart. Will definitely use her again!”

Niki R.

“Petunia had a lovely stay with Laura! She played with other dogs so received lots of exercise. I love the constant photos and updates of her during the stay! Laura was so easy to work with, communicated quickly and flexible. I would recommend her for other’s pups!”

“Kari was super easy to set everything up with! She was great with our dogs! One of our dogs rarely eats when we board her but she ate for Kari! They both came home happy and tired girls! Highly recommend!”

“Kelsey and family were amazing! Auggie became part of their family for the time I was away and that’s all I could have wished for. She took the time for daily updates, which eased my dog mama heart. Auggie was pooped when we got home, but I know he’s going to miss their family! I better find another place to vacation so he can visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would book again!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Donald for our 2 dogs Moxie & Gracie .. they stayed with him for 9 days straight due to us listing our house and going on a vacation at the same time.. if we weren’t stressed out enough we were now going to leave them with a stranger for 9 days .. oh my, this was the least stressful part of everything going on .. Donald communicated daily with updates/ pics and videos about each dog / we could tune into his ring cam to see them playing outside.. they visible were so happy playing with him and the other dogs - he allows them to choose where they want to sleep and lounge .. we picked them up today and they have been sleeping most of the day! Great vacation for all ! We will definitely use Donald again !!”

Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Shelly, and I’m excited to care for and work with your beloved pets. I grew up on a dairy farm, where caring for animals wasn’t just a chore—it was a way of life. From milking cows to raising chickens and pigs, and always having a dog and numerous cats around, animals were at the heart of my daily routine. Those early experiences taught me responsibility, consistency, and the importance of attentive, compassionate care. Today, my husband and I run a small hobby farm of our own, where we care for horses, chickens, our beloved dog Luna, and many kitties. Animal care continues to be a central part of my life and is something I truly enjoy. I have also completed additional training and worked extensively with my own horses and dogs. Having been around animals my entire life, I have experience providing a wide range of care, including assisting with livestock deliveries (calves and swine), administering medications, and caring for animals with medical needs, including those associated with aging. I also frequently care for the pets and farm animals of friends and neighbors. I can't help but develop a special bond with each animal I care for. Working with animals is one of my deepest passions. I love to travel and explore the world whenever I can. Through my own experiences, I’ve learned how challenging it can be to find someone who is not only trustworthy, but also experienced and comfortable caring for both household pets and larger farm animals. Having peace of mind while you’re away is invaluable. My goal is simple: to give you the confidence to travel, work, or attend life’s events without worry, knowing your animals are safe, well cared for, and treated like family. I look forward to serving our community and building trusting relationships with both you and your animals! Currently, I am home full-time and available 24/7 from June through August, which allows for a very flexible schedule. I return to my full-time position during the last week of August. At that time, my availability will vary, with weekends generally offering the most flexibility. From September through June, my regular work hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. I am committed to working with pet owners to accommodate their needs as best as possible and will do my utmost to ensure your pets receive the care, attention, and consistency they deserve. My pets are part of my family, and I provide them with the highest level of care, love, and attention possible. Their well-being is one of my top priorities. When caring for someone else's pets, I treat them as if they were my own because I understand how much our animals mean to us. I also recognize how important we are to our pets and that being separated from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. My goal is to provide the comfort, care, and attention they need while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I make every effort to follow all instructions and preferences provided by pet owners to ensure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

“Our dog had a great stay. Highly recommend! Our stay was short notice and Shannon was super accommodating! We appreciate the care that our dog had here, definitely will look Shannon up again!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, so much so that I turned it into a career. I’ve been a vet tech for about 15 years and have been caring for animals the majority of my life. I can administer medications if your pet has been prescribed any. And if anything seems out of the ordinary I will notify you right away. The care and wellbeing of your pet is my priority. I am currently working full time during the week with every other Friday off. The weekends, and every other Friday I am at home and we can arrange a time for pick up and drop off that works for you. When playing outside your pet will we supervised closely and will not be left outside alone. We do have a fence on the back side of our yard. And we live in a cul-de-sac, so no need to worry about being on a busy road.
