Friendly,loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs since I was a kid. I currently own one 25 lb shihtzu and a 22 lb shihtzu / chihuahua mix. My house is dog friendly with a doggie door and fenced yard. The dog door goes to a coyote proof dog run/large kennel to protect dogs from wildlife and keep them from pool. I have a large crate if I need to use it. I enjoy taking care of and playing with dogs so it comes naturally for me. I walk my dogs daily to the park near my house and like to play fetch with them in the house when the weather is not great for being outside.

We just picked up our Ozark from a 7 day stay with Darcy. He is an overly rambunctious 11 mo old Boston who is behind on socialization and has experienced separation anxiety and gastritis during the 2 other times we had to board him. We were so concerned about his stay but Darcy was awesome and sent daily pictures and updates which made us feel more at ease. We brought home a happy, healthy puppy with no anxiety! She also has two fur babies of her own and was able to give us great feedback on Ozarks behavior and social skills with other pups - something we haven’t had before and appreciate. We look forward to bringing Ozark back to her home in the future and highly recommend her if you are looking for a safe loving home for your fur baby. Thanks Darcy!

Our guy had the best time at Darcy's house! She is a great communicator and gave us frequent updates. She even took him on walks even though he's kind a terror on walks. (We're working on it.) We will definitely reach out to Darcy again when we need a sitter!

I develop trust with your pet by letting him or her get used to me in their own time. I like to give treats when ok with the owner. When pets stay in my home, I am here most of the time so they get lots of attention.
