A dog lover looking to help others!
Pet care experience
I have been helping care for my family dog since I was young. I worked to train my dog Callie as a puppy so feel confident to help train puppies. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare facility so I can handle most type of dogs with care and good knowledge.
Reviews
Darby always goes above and beyond to make sure our dog feels happy and safe while we are away!
Darby was really, really great house sitting for us and watching our pup Milah!! She sent pictures multiple times through the day, made sure Milah had enough activity, followed the care/feeding schedule well, and in general just made us feel good about stealing away for the weekend and leaving our pup at home. Would definitely use Darby again!
Great communicator, easy going, kept a good eye on my dog, looking forward to working with Darby again!
Darby was an excellent dog sitter for my greyhound mix! Would gladly have her over again.
About Darby G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If the dog care is in a home I am respectful of personal things and keeping all my focus on the dog whether it is keeping the dog occupied inside the house or in a backyard. Outside of the house, I am confident walking dogs of all sizes, taking them to a dog park, or playing with them individually. Also, I do feel pretty confident with helping train a dog if that process is already in progress. As for cats, I know that they do need their own time and space to be who they are, so I will be respectful of both the cat and the space that it is in.
Information Darby G. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know if there is a certain walk route that’s preferable to you and your dog. If there is a certain lead that is going to be used and how to get that lead on and off, sometime they can be a wee bit tricky. Besides that, if the dog has any triggers, is reactive, or if there is anything I should know about their personality, that'd be great.
A typical day
I love to be outside and especially enjoy walking by the waterfront. I also know of two great dog parks which can add extra sitimulation for your dog. If a long walk or engagement is asked of me, I wouldn’t mind taking your dog for a short hike!

As I just accepted a job, I will not be able to help out as frequently throughout the daytime, though I can still help out on the weekends and before and after work.
