Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover and Care Specialist
I have enjoyed so many years of raising and caring for domestic and farm animals. Rover has allowed me to continue my true passion. I wish to provide safe and loving care for your four footed family members, it's what I know best. In Montana I had a 10 acre Hobby Farm where I enjoyed raising sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. My horses, dogs, cats and rabbits gave me so much love. My abilities with both domestic and farm animals include feeding, medical attention, trips to the vet, proper exercise, poop patrol, cleaning of bedding/feeding containers, grooming and most of all LOVE. I would be honored to meet your care giving needs. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I am the right fit.

Ratings and reviews
Dara took the time to come for a meet-and-greet before agreeing to care for our livestock and puppy for a 3-day weekend. She was very responsive to texts and also dealt with some unexpected challenges (uncooperative animals, food not left where it was supposed to be, and a tricky padlock in the rain) her first visit! Dara was also flexible enough to cancel her last visit when my plans changed. Excellent communication and the animals were all well cared for.
I was so thankful that Dara was able to visit our Goose at nights while I was working. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable working with her. Definitely recommend!
Dara was great! It is obvious that she loves doing what she does. There was a minor confusion on what time she was supposed to come on one evening. She followed through with the requested time, even though it was later than she preferred. The dogs got their exercise and lovins' and appeared to be happy whenever I got home.
Dara was wonderful when housesitting with our little Millie. She is responsible and very dependable. Millie is shy when making new friends. Dara was so nice and kind. I would definitely call Dara again. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would :).
This was my first time using rover.com, it was also the first time my 10-year-old lab would be left with somebody besides my parents since she was a puppy. I was admittedly apprehensive, but within seconds after meeting Dara I was at ease and knew I would be able to enjoy my vacation and my spoiled lab, two cats, fish and house would be well taken care of. Dara did a wonderful job, from the first meet and greet to my return. I highly recommended her and will definitely use her again the next I leave town.
Dara has cared for our 2 dogs for the past 5 years each time we've taken a vacation. We usually travel 2-3 times a year for up to two weeks. We wouldn't even think of another sitter and are somewhat at a loss now that she has relocated. She is caring, knowledgeable and we consider her part of our extended family even though there is no connection. She knows her business and is punctual, meticulous and very professional.
