I’ll treat your pets like family!

Pet care experience

I’ve had at least two dogs, many times 3, for my entire life. I have a dog who is special needs, so I’m used to daily medication and particular routine needs. I also have had German shepherds my whole life so I’m used to large breeds and those who are prematurely judged (meaning I don’t discriminate based on breed!) . Additionally, one of my dogs is a West Highland Terrier so I have the small dogs covered too! And I’m experienced with terrier-tude 😊 I also had a cat for 15 years. And though not my own animals, I was a nanny to a family of a Doberman and cat, adding more experience to my daily pet experience. I fully believe that pets are family and will treat yours as such! Attention to detail and the animals’ routine are crucial, and I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your furry family members at home, so expect photos of our fun times!

Darby is so amazing and always my top choice for dog/house sitting. I know Stella is in great hands while I'm away so I can relax. We have used Darby multiple times and are never disappointed!

Another excellent experience with Darby. Knowing we have the best care for our dog (and home) makes it so easy to relax on vacation. Cannot thank her enough for all she has done-- highly recommend!

This is our second time using Darby. She is absolutely wonderful and incredibly trustworthy! It is comforting knowing that we can leave our home and puppy in her hands-- highly recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, but am happy to do overnights in your home, or pop-ins during the day for meal times and play time depending on your pets’ needs. I am comfortable administering medication if needed, as well. If your pet is a fan of snuggles, I’ll never say no! But if they’re a more introverted type, I’m happy to give them space and peacefully coexist.

Information Darby N. would like to know about your pet

Any signs of aggression with other dogs? Allergies? Fears of specific sounds or movements? How are they on a leash? Where’s their favorite place to get pets? Toy or food motivated?

A typical day

I want to treat your pup the way that’s best for them, like a dog love language! If you have a pup who prefers a quiet night in with Wheel of Fortune, that’s what we’ll do. If backyard fetch is their preference, then it’s game on!
