Safety, trust & environment

I love to cuddle with pups in my bed and take them on walks to sniff around campus! While my room is just the size of a bedroom, it has AC, big windows, and I am happy to take your dog outside as much as needed! I am confident in my ability to read and understand dog’s body language while encountering other people/pets. I have experience dog sitting for family friends as well as caring for pets after they have been injured and experience breaking up dog fights (family friend used to foster).

Dara did a great job taking care of my picky house panther while I was gone. She was communicative and kept him in great spirits until I returned. Highly recommend!

Dara was not only an amazing dog watcher for Honey, but a respectful and considerate guest in our home. She was the perfect dog sitter on top of a wonderful person, so can’t recommend her enough!

Dara did a great job taking care of my recent rescue dog, Beth! She was super loving and kind towards her and I could tell Beth felt comfortable and safe with her. She was very communicative which I really appreciated and sent cute pictures of Beth and updates while I was away. I was worried about leaving Beth but it turned out really well!

We are so lucky to have found Dara. She is incredibly sweet and reliable. Our pup and kitty were immediately drawn to her and trusted her and she is so sweet with them. I’m excited to have found someone nearby in Eagle Rock and looking forward to feeling at ease with our home and pets in good hands when my husband and I are away for travel!

Dara was so kind to my taffy and kept me updated with photos/videos. My dog really seems like she had a relaxing stay with her so would definitely book again in the future. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Let me know if there’s anything important to know and I’m more than happy to accommodate. I can care for an extra nervous or scared pup no problem :)
