Darcia Lucero Penelope can care for
Availability
I primarily work from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day! I do head to my office about three times a week, either in the morning or afternoon depending on meetings, but I'm very flexible. I'm also happy to work from your home, as long as there's a table where I can set up my portable screen and laptop, I'm all set! I prefer caring for dogs within a 30-minute travel radius of Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle to ensure I can balance work commitments while giving your pup my full attention. I strongly prefer caring for dogs in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. There's nothing better than letting your furry friend stay in their familiar environment with all their favorite toys, beds, and routines intact, no stress of adapting to a new space, just pure comfort and love!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort come first! I maintain their regular routines, keep doors and gates secured, and stay attentive during walks and playtime. Since I work from home most days, your pup gets plenty of company. When I'm at the office (about three times a week for a few hours), I coordinate around your dog's schedule to minimize alone time. I provide regular photo updates so you have peace of mind, and I treat every pet with the same love and care I gave to Nacho, Bailey, and Lulu. Your home will be respected, and your dog will be happy, safe, and well-loved!

🐾 Your Pup's Global Aunty in DC!
Pet care experience
Growing up, my home was never quiet, and I wouldn't have had it any other way! I was raised surrounded by furry family members, starting with Koshko, my beloved cat, along with Puffy my sister´s Poodle and Madonna, the family´s Mutt. My grandparents had two gentle giants, Puma and Paleta, English Mastiffs who taught me early on how to care for and respect dogs of all sizes. Since moving to DC, I've become the unofficial "aunty" to my friends' dogs, and honestly, it's been one of the greatest joys of my life. I spent countless hours playing with Nacho, a grouchy and absolutely amazing Pomeranian who's now living his best life in India. Then there's Bailey, the chubbiest, sweetest Labradoodle you've ever met, who traded DC for sunny Mexico. And my real niece, Lulu, an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, recently embarked on her own international adventure with my sister and her family to England. It seems all my favorite pups are world travelers now, leaving me with an empty lap and a heart full of love to give! I deeply miss having these wonderful dogs in my daily life, the walks, the playtime, the snuggles, and even the goofy moments that make every day brighter. That's why I'm here on Rover: to share my experience, love, and dedicated care with your furry family members while you're away. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved, played with, and treated like the VIP they are!
Reviews
Darcia was fantastic with my dog! She was very communicative and took great care of him.
I appreciate Darcia so much! I was in a last minute bind and she graciously stepped in to take care of my pups! I feel so comfortable & reassured knowing she is with them. She is simply fabulpus!
Darcy was great! Super punctual and communicative and my pup was very happy 😊
My pups recommended a 5 star rating! They were happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. This was a challenging pet setting because of the snow which my puppies do not like, and my return flight got canceled more than once, and she graciously stayed with them. What a lifesaver it was so comforting, knowing my puppies were in good hands. Thank you thank you
