Mans Best Friend Playcation

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs all my life and have always thought of our family dogs as little brothers. Although I don't have dogs of my own today I feel it's a great opportunity to share my dog love with those who need a playcation while their parents are away. I had a Collie growing up and my Mom now has 2 Yorkies and my Brother a Pug so I'm very comfortable with big and small dogs. I live in Shilrlington which is any pups paradise! I'm a 5 minute walk to 3 dog parks (separate areas for small and large dogs) and 2 of them are on the water for those who are bit more adventurous. If your dog is a people lover or doesn't mix well with others I have no problem giving them my own TLC and not taking them there if you request. I'm also right next to the W&OD trail and have a very dog friendly community so your pup will be welcome in my home. I work 8:30-5:00 so will be gone during the day but will make sure your loved one gets plenty of walks, has at least 1 play session per day and is fed on time. I love long walks and playing but will listen to your routine and try and keep them on that same pattern while you are away. I will only take 1 dog at a time and hope to meet you and your furry one soon!

Darcey watched my pup earlier this summer, and she was fantastic! LOTS of updates with adorable photos. We did not worry for a second and knew Huey was in great hands and being treated like a little prince. Huey loved her right away at the meet-and-greet and was excited when he returned for his staycation with her. Highly recommend!!

Darcy was amazing with our dog Griffin! We felt very at ease knowing he was in good hands! We got updates everyday on how he was doing and any thoughts or concerns she might have. It was great! She was also super flexible for pick up time when our flight was delayed and changed multiple times! Griffin came home happy as can be and we could tell he had a relaxing time with her! Thanks again Darcy for all you did for our family!

Darcey took great care of our pup and sent lots of updates. She is super responsible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her in the future! You could tell our dog had a great time.

Terrific experience! Darcey was a breeze to coordinate with, and from the get-go, was clearly very experienced with handling dogs. I appreciated that she checked in at least daily with a few pictures and notes about my pup. I returned to a very happy and relaxed dog; no doubt, she had enjoyed her stay! Extra kudos to Darcey for letting her roam freely between the balcony and indoors despite the humidity outside! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pup with Darcey again.
