Information Darci M. would like to know about your pet

I want to know anything and everything! It may not seem important to some but it could be a game changer for the animal! I’m not shy and will always ask questions if unsure of something. Communicating is key for happy pets and all family members involved!

A typical day

I love to be active and change the scenery As much as the pet is comfortable & willing. Car rides, walks/hikes, visiting family & friends that will spoil them like their own & any stores that allow critters (for example Tractor Supply). But we have just as much fun at home as some creatures are homebodies & that’s ok too!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my 16+ years of paid pet care experience with dogs, cats, fish, and large animals. I’m Red Cross Pet First Aid certified and experienced with senior pets, medications, special diets, and individualized care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their normal routine, and I provide regular photo and text updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

Darci is an amazing cat sitter who truly understands feline personalities - even the quirky, particular, or dramatic ones. She’s patient, gentle, and tuned in to the little details that matter to cats. Mine warmed up to her quickly, and I always come home to relaxed, well‑cared‑for kitties. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I trust her completely.

Darci is a fantastic pet sitter who truly understands quirky dogs like my River. She’s patient, observant, and never thrown off by his unique personality or little habits. River feels completely at ease with her, and I always know he’s safe, understood, and well cared for. Darci is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I’m grateful to have someone I trust with my dog when I need to be away!
