Darby's doggy care services

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I've had my very own since I was 8 years old! I enjoy taking care of others fur babies including long walks, playing at the dog park, outside time, and fun dog games. I am actively always trying to find new ways to make the most of my time with fur babies. I am well-rehearsed in meeting the needs of each dog such as medication administration, changing diapers (for female dogs in heat or older dogs with bladder control issues), and anything else that may arise. Also, please expect a lot of pictures coming your way! I love taking photos and your dog will be my model at some point and you'll have great new photos to hang up on your walls! :)

Darby is the best dog sitter we have ever had. When we got back from our trip not only was our dog happy and content but our home was cleaner than how we left it and our sheets were even washed! She was very respectful of our home and our wishes for how to take care of our 70-pound hound dog Chip. She gave him love, played with him, administered his medications, and send us photo updates the whole time. Chip can be a challenging dog but she handled him with ease and grace. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible dog sitter.

Mr. Man loved Darby. My cat cam showed the following: that Mr. Man's greeted her at the door each time she came, that he had a curled overhead tail indicating his happiness, that he enjoyed his pets and scratches, that Darby was responsive to him when he meowed, that Mr. Man chose to cuddle with Darby and adored her while she was around, and that Mr. Man tried to negotiate her staying longer when she left. Darby gave Mr. Man his daily meds and supervised him getting some sun and bean plant leaves on the balcony. Mr. Man has some serious skin allergies, and his skin and coat were in great condition when I arrived home. I could tell Darby must have taken the trash out and deodorized before I returned (something I entirely forgot to ask either sitter to do the week and a half I was gone). So while my house smelled a bit of rotting cat food and deodorizer, I was grateful she took it upon herself to do it.

Darby was great! She was easy to communicate with, friendly, sent pictures daily, and took such wonderful care of our house. We returned and laundry had been done, floors vacuumed (none of which I asked for or expected) she exceeded our expectations and will definitely use her again.

This was our first time having someone house sit and care for Miles and Toby. What a great experience!! Darby was super professional during our meet and greet and in all of her communication. She shared photos that helped us know our pets were happy and in good hands. Would HIGHLY recommend Darby and will definitely be requesting her help again.

Information Darby S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything special to account for in the needs for your fur baby. This includes medications, how they are given (this is important and varies on each animal themselves), and times given. This can also include anything your animal loves to do! My goal is comfort and fun for your animals, so tell me anything I need to know to provide an exciting time for them.

A typical day

Physical exercise is important! We will play with toys, go for a walk, and spend time outside at least 30 minutes a day. Play varies between breeds and preferences.

Im currently part-time and working on freelance work so I have lots of free time needed to be filled with taking care of your fur babies. I am very flexible with my schedule and can do long-term services or immediate need services. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can evaluate if we are the right fit for each other.
