Pet care experience

In search of more pet friends

I would love the chance to spend time with your pet and get to know all their quirks and preferences. I am the first to volunteer to pet sit for friends and family. Animals bring me so much happiness. I decided to join Rover because I have extra time and love to give and would love to meet your pet!

Darby took exceptional care of our cats while we were away! Our cats have grown to love her after becoming a familiar face. She is dependable, timely, and provides great updates with photos and videos.

This was our second time booking with Darby and she was great with our cats and communication with us! She’s taken the time to get to know their personalities and even managed one of our cats’ heart medication. Will definitely book with her again!

We are so grateful for Darby! This was our first time booking with her and at first we were so nervous because it was also the first time we were leaving island for over 2 weeks. She took amazing care of our 3 cats and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. She even spent extra time with them and also made sure we came home to a clean house. I highly recommend her!

Darby was so great with our fur baby and we were so lucky to have found her! She is very responsive and kept us updated with pictures and videos from beginning to end of her stay. We could tell our dog was getting the love and care she would get at home, and an extra bonus of companionship with Darby’s sweet dog Penny. She came back home with us just as happy as we left her, and we will definitely be asking Darby to watch our pup again!

Darby always treats my little girl as her own and sends photos frequently to update me on what they are up to for the day. I know both me and my dog appreciate her warm hospitality when I am out of town.

Darby went ABOVE and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for and well loved, changing their litter when we ran into some issues and going back an extra time when their auto feeder ran out. They also were so much more comfortable because of her which I appreciate more than anything!! She’s such a gem!

Schedule

I am currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am able to take them out as frequently as needed and give plenty of exercise if requested. I live with my partner and sister. We have a quiet household without too much activity so if your dog prefers a calm environment we can provide that too.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog to keep your pet company. She is very easy going and loves a good nap on the couch. She is a bit of a grandma and prefers calmer dogs who won’t jump all over her to play. There are plenty of dog beds and soft nap spots in my apartment. I will send as many photo/ video updates as you would like. My camera roll will most likely be full of pictures of your pet anyway.

Pets

A typical day

My schedule is flexible so I can provide any type of stimulation your dog might need. I have lick mats, dog chews, and plenty of toys. I love walking and would be happy to take your dog on long walks around the neighborhood.
