Pet care experience

Extra love for your fur-babies!

I have had dogs and cats since I was a child, and we currently have a farm with 4 horses! We have have two dogs of our own, a Welsh Corgi and Husky/ Australian Shepherd mix, along with 5 goats and lots of chickens; my parents have a Welsh Corgi as well and two Labrador Retrievers. There are plenty of animals and stimulation to go around. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am comfortable with giving medication, walks, baths, dog park visits, as well as training basics. I am always happy to accommodate client and fur-baby needs! From late night potty breaks, to farm/house sitting and all the extras, I'm up for anything to keep your 4-legged kids comfortable and happy!

House Sitting • Jan 18, 2026

Dara was an excellent dog sitter. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated regularly with us throughout her stay. She followed our instructions perfectly and took many pictures of our dog as well. The house was spotless and even did laundry before she left. I highly recommend her.

Dara is an absolutely amazing person. She was incredibly thoughtful and kind not to mention she is detailed oriented. I truly can’t express my gratitude to her for the amazing care she provided our girls and the comfort we felt leaving them with her. Thank you Dara!

We had a great overall experience with the care Dara provided for our Luna. I would not hesitate to book with her again if we are back in the area.

Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!

Schedule

I do work full-time, Monday through Friday, with very low-key, quiet weekends. I work 9-5 in Middle Township, and can accommodate play time and potty breaks before, during, and after work if necessary. As long as your fur-babies are able to go 4 hours in the AM/PM for potty breaks, I’m happy to spend my lunch with them for a walks, potty breaks, or a midday snack. Im around most weekends and can usually accommodate schedules with prior notice, and am happy to do walks and toys and adventures while you are away/ working.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep animals on the same schedule, with as little change or variation as possible. The less stress I can cause, the happier they will be until your return! I am an early riser, and always up by 7am for morning breakfast and potty breaks, as well as very active and enjoy walking and dog parks and playing with your fur-babies. I do have a welsh corgi, who goes everywhere with me, should your fur-baby want/need company! If you fur-baby likes to travel/go for rides, I would be happy to bring them over to our farm to enjoy running around on 10 acres! (We also love car rides to Starbucks for a puppachino while out and about!)

Pets

A typical day

I love going on long walks and going to the dog park! We really enjoy playing fetch in the horse paddocks because they are well fenced as well as so large, there is plenty of room to run and play. We also love going to the beach in the early morning as the sun comes up!
