Availability

I work remote so my availability is extremely flexible.. including being available for last minute bookings! I understand life is full of surprises & know how it feels when your fur baby won’t be let outside for 8+ hours because you have to work late. While boarding, not only do I spend the night, but I also work from your house so I will be there each night and the majority of every day. If you have to work late one day or just can’t get home on time unexpectedly for whatever reason, book me for a drop-in visit or a 30+ minute walk so they can get some exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your pet the way YOU care for them is my goal. If you give your dog special food/treats, let them sleep with you at night or walk them a particular way for a certain amount of time.. I will be sure to care for them exactly the same way.

Information Dara L. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to know all of your furbaby’s personality & unique quirks so I can provide the best care possible. This includes any “bad” or anxious behaviors.. like sneaking into the bathroom and pulling all the TP off the roll or only eating when you're standing next to them. I have experience with both small & large dogs, as well as very young & very old.

A typical day

I am open to ALL the activities! Long walks, dog parks, fetch, tug of war... let me know what games your dog loves the most and I will be sure to entertain them accordingly.

I like long walks on the dog beach

Pet care experience

Let me take care of your furbaby as if you never left! I rescued my first dog, a Pitbull, at 16 years old and have owned and cared for various other breeds since then, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas! Do you have a pitbull or a large "aggressive" breed? BOOK ME! These are my favorite breeds as I have experience & understand how misunderstood they are and thoroughly enjoy spending time with them!

Dara was awesome! She is a great communicator and our dogs were well taken care of. I will be using her for dog sitting going forward.
