Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will NEVER be off leash unless in my yard. I do not take dogs to the dog parks while in my care. I have a senior mini poodle who can be friendly with dogs but it’s hit or miss. He prefers dogs who kind of ignore him.

Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Darcia S. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog get along with other dogs? Size of dog? Separation anxiety? Crate trained? Food aggressive? How does your dog do on a leash? Basic commands? Eating habits? Does your dog bark a lot? Under what circumstances (i.e. when home alone)? Potty trained? Any other quirks I should know about your dog?

A typical day

I have a fully fenced in big yard for dogs to run around in. I also live in a quiet neighborhood to take walks in. I don’t take dogs to the dog parks.

Pet care experience

I understand how hard it can be to find a reliable dog sitter and want to lessen that stress for people! Dogs will only be left at home for minimal amounts of time, are allowed to snuggle in bed and on the couch. I live in a house with a fully fended in yard and your pup will never be alone in the yard. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours just the same while in my care! I will never let your dog off leash and will respect any care instructions you provide. It's my personal preference not to take dogs to the dog park while in my care.

Darcia cares for our Cheyenne like her own. She keeps us updated with lots of pictures and messages and we always feel at ease when she’s with her!

Darcia took such great care of our little Cheyenne! She updated us and shared photos frequently and was so easy to work with. Pick up and drop off were seamless and her whole family is so lovely! We definitely will rebook with her next time!

Darcia was great! Easy and fast communication, and getting pics of our little guy sent while on vacation was so nice. Definitely would recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
