Pet care experience

Most experienced 24yo in NC

I grew up around dogs thanks to my mom, who has owned a boarding kennel and doggy daycare for over 35 years. I have since then taken her place and have ran the kennel for just over 2 years. In my free time I enjoy hiking with my 2 puppers and shadowing the K9 Behavior trainer of Charleys K9 Rescue. I also foster puppies through Charleys, so if you or anyone you know is looking to adopt, we have plenty of adult dogs and puppies looking for their forever home ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am a big advocate for the importance of leash safety and proper leash etiquette. It’s most important for people in the pet care industry to have a full understanding and training on the body language and correct approach when handling/caring for and interacting with new pets in their territory. Pets would be treated as my own and I would always act and react with their best interest in mind. From throwing a ball until my arm falls off to snuggling on the couch for long periods of time. I’m your girl!

Darby was great with our German Shepherds. She was very communicative with us and the dogs can’t wait to see her every week.

Yall, Darby was soooooo darn good with my Chubbs. He acted like he was sooo disappointed to see me when I returned lol. I lovedddd her, she communicated so much, my house remained intact & she has a whitty sense of humor that just works well with me lololol. Her fiancé loved Chubbs too (which works sooo good, cause Chubbs is an old man at heart). Anywho, I’ll be booking Darby again & again.. and hopefully I’ve found an outside friend too! Cause she’s hilarious… (vinyl on my door!)

Boarding • Mar 26, 2024

This was our first time boarding our fur baby, but it will not be the last with Darby. She kept us informed of his activities, and sent pictures during his stay. She also did the best she could to accommodate our schedules at the last minute. I would recommend Darby to anyone.

Darby has been at Armadale Farm Kennel since she was 16 years old. She has always been a studious, honest, and hard worker. Since she started here in 2014 she has taken over her Mothers role as a Partner/Owner of the business. Darby has continued to prove her dedication and respect for animals and in the pet care industry. Anyone would be considered lucky to hire Darby as their own personal pet care professional.

Darby is extremely trustworthy and knows dog behavior very well. She has worked in the pet care industry all her life as her family owns and operates a very successful pet boarding facility. You can count on her to go above and beyond
