Dara cared for our two dogs for an extended time while we were away on a three-week trip. One of our dogs is a 15-year old senior, and the other is an anxious youngster. Dara was amazing. She went so far above and beyond caring for them and keeping us informed how they were doing. She’s truly a superstar!

Dara was so wonderful!! This was my first time leaving the kitties alone since we moved to the area and she was so patient and attentive with our instructions and the kitties care. I came home to a clean house and happy cats and that’s all i could ever ask for. Plus she sent so many wonderful photos everyday which made being away a little less stressful. I can not recommend her enough!! :D

Dara was great! This was the 2nd time she watched Toby (cat) and was very responsive and thorough. She sent detailed updates for each check-in and sent many pictures. Would trust her in our home again and with Toby again! Highly recommend.
