Experienced Caregiver for Dogs

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs for my friends and family, as well as my own dogs, for majority of my life. I have experiences training puppies and know how difficult yet rewarding the process is as a pet owner. I have also taken care of senior dogs, and understand the attentiveness and gentle care that they need. I love dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby!

Darby is an incredibly responsive caretaker. She’s the first person I can call to take care of my beloved furry friends. She goes above and beyond when taking them on walks, feeding them and giving them water, playing fetch. She gives them the love they need when I’m not home! I would trust her with my life (and obviously my pets’)!

Darby is one of the most reliable and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She has a natural way with pets—they instantly trust her and seem to know they’re in good hands. She’s looked after my pets a bunch of times and always goes the extra mile, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or sending cute photo updates. She’s super responsible, easy to communicate with, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Darby’s your girl.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I will care for your pet exactly how I would my own pet. I will be attentive to the detail of your instructions and ensure that your pet has the best, most stress-free time while you are away from them.

Information Darby N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or aspects I should pay special attention to. I want each pet to feel safe and loved during their time spent away from you, and all the information you can give me about your dog is valuable to ensuring this!

A typical day

I love getting active with dogs. Whether that means going on a hike, a walk around the neighborhood, exploring a park, going swimming, or simply playing fetch. Of course the activity depends on each specific dog, but I will cater to the needs of both high and low energy pets!
