Pet care experience

All the doggies love me! 🐶

Being very friendly and easy to communicate with as well as a 100% guaranteed animal Lover as I have a dog of my own! Depending on your needs, I could be the ideal fit as I don’t take multiple dogs at the same time I am fully available 🙏🐾 no Request is too much and you will be rest assured - I’m going to be with your pup for the majority of the day, if not the entirety. If you have a dog that you want to have socialized, I have the best Australian Shepherd, who is extremely friendly and has had 100% success making friends with every dog. We have had the pleasure of watching housesitting or walking over the last eight years with Rover.🤗

Doggy Day Care • Jul 18, 2024

Dara saved the day taking our dog last minute! She was very sweet and chatted over the phone to make sure she had all the info she needed. She took good care of our little Lenny and was super communicative- sent pictures and updates throughout the day and made sure he got tons of play time and walks. We really appreciate her thoughtfulness to make us and our dog feel comfortable. Will definitely have her watch Lenny again and highly recommend her! Thank you Dara!!

When I was scrambling at the last minute to find someone to watch my 7-month-old puppy for a bachelor party weekend, Dara came to the rescue. She was extremely welcoming and helpful with the special needs of a puppy (mine can be a bit shy around new people and new dogs). Not only was I assured that my pup was in good hands with Dara, she also sent me frequent updates (with photos) to fill me in on how everything was going. Even though I was hundreds of miles away, I felt like I was in the loop the whole time. Dara and her dog (a mid-sized Aussie) were great hosts in a very nice home. I think my puppy might have had more fun that weekend than I did! I highly recommend Dara as a host for anyone seeking a dog-sitter.

Dara was awesome with my dog Sasha! Sasha got along great with her dog Charlie:) Dara sent me updates and pictures on a regular basis which always is comforting. She has a great private home in Venice with a yard which is also an added plus especially on the westside. You can tell that she really enjoys being around dogs and is very caring and compassionate. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!
