I currently help my roommates take care of their cats by feeding or cleaning up after them. The pet care is very straightforward and I would like something more challenging

I like to make sure I listen to the owner's description of their pet's personality, needs and wants. It will be my goal to never put an animal in any kind of stressful situation. If the dog enjoys long walks or very involved play time I am all about it. At a client's home I will always understand I am there for their pet and nothing more, this is their personal space and will keep it in the best possible shape, clean up after the pets when feeding or after any accidents if any are to occur. Every animal has a different temperament and I know to introduce myself slowly and at their pace.

Pets

I live for dogs!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my whole life, cats too! Many of my fond memories growing up as a child and as an adult involve animals making a positive impact on my life. Living with an animal like a dog or a cat is an important facet of life, they give us an immense amount of meaning and purpose. I have taken care of many family and friends pets, this is my first time doing so in a more professional manner. I can guarantee your pets will love me, and receive the greatest care and attention!

Darby has been a very good pet caretaker in the more than 20 years I have known him. Ever since we were friends I have known him to be a dog lover. He would enthusiastically play with his old dog Blue whenever he got the chance. When my family would be on vacation, we would always go to Darby first to have him dogsit, and he enthusiastically took to the task. Every time we went a vacation we received almost no bad news and came back to a happy and healthy dog. His family has had many dogs and he's taken excellent care of all of them, even if he's more of a cat person now.

Well this is quite the challenge for me to be completely impartial, I realize dog walking is not on the same level as a high level corporate position but entrusting a stranger to take care of your pet/family is equally as important I think and I’m sure Darby would agree as well. Darby is responsible to a fault, always willing to help or offer advice when needed. He’s always been around cats and dogs made sure they were always well cared for with kindness and patience, a special human filled with good. The challenge is that Darby is my ‘favorite son’ so it’s impossible for me not be biased. Sincerely, Mary Louise White
