Spoiled with affection & structure!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a massage therapist at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and currently living in Banff. I am an animal lover to the bone, and I cannot wait for the day where I get to care for my own fur-baby. I have extensive experience with cats & all sizes of dogs. I currently live in a basement suite where I am not allowed pets, so I want to care for other people's pets when needed to get my fix! I will ensure your pet's routine is maintained, while they are spoiled with attention throughout our visits. I will follow your instructions meticulously as I believe that premium care & safety of your pets are my priority! I strongly believe in patience & rewarding good behaviour when going through training protocols with any pets. If I am house-sitting along with your pet, I will ensure you return home to a clean house, just as you left it!

Maple was well taken care of and all questions were answered very quickly. When we got home from our day out, Maple was played out and ready to sleep! Which does not happen often as she is a high energy girl.

Darby came to keep our nervous nelly comfortable while we went out for dinner on Valentines day. She asked if she could bring her husband and we were so happy she did. They came in and our pup greeted them and Nova enjoyed their energy and was calmed right away, as he was immediately indulged by getting an extended massage right off the bat. We were so pleased to meet them as they were a genuinely lovely couple who cared for our little guy and made him so comfortable that he didn't have an anxiety attack, he's a bit special needs for sure. We will definitely be asking them to Rover for us again when we go skiing or stay in the Banff area. These two are definitely dog people who have your furry family members best interest at heart.

Darby is DAR-BEST at dog sitting! I have two LARGE and not so well behaved doggos and Darby knew exactly how to work with them. We have had her stay at our place twice while we were out of town and she took amazing care of them as well as our home while we were away. She is very professional and responded to all of our messages promptly. We absolutely love Darby and we know our two dogs do as well! Highly recommend Darby to care for your four legged friends!!!!!!

I thought I was a dog lover, then I met Darby. She is not only passionate, professional, and above and beyond caring, she is truly magnificent when it comes to our 4 legged friends. Some dogs, like my own, have a bit too much energy and owners like myself can't keep up with them all the time. That's where Darby comes in. She ran our pup to the point where she was actually restful and even sleepy! (She is usually unyielding excitement and energy). Darby did an amazing job with our Tesla and I would have her back for walks and playdates anytime!
