Nothing Better than Doggy Cuddles!

Pet care experience

Since I was born, there has always been at least one dog in my household, and so I've grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes! Throughout middle school, high school, college, and while living in New York, I would dog sit on weekends. I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs as well as a variety of breeds like Jack Russells, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, Dobermans, Cockapoos and a variety of mixed breeds. I also have experience with housebreaking puppies, caring for dogs with disabilities, and dog training. In college, I volunteered for two years at the Kent County Humane Society in Chestertown, where I walked dogs around the enclosure and nearby trail, fed and bathed dogs and completed other miscellaneous tasks. My family and I donate every year to the Defenders of Animal Rights in Phoenix, Maryland as well as Lab Rescue of the LRCP. My boyfriend, Conor, and I live in a large, 3-bedroom open plan townhouse that is in walking distance to the Short Line Trail, where many of our neighbors walk their dogs throughout the day. Our neighborhood is safe and friendly and we have a fenced-in backyard with room for pups to play! I am very clean and organized, but dogs are still allowed on our furniture, particularly our comfortable couch (My parents bring their dog over every week and he has made himself quite at home on the couch)! If your dog stays with me, I can guarantee plenty of cuddles, playtime, outdoor exercise, and most importantly, FUN! I am very attentive and versatile, therefore I will adapt to whatever special requests and instructions you may have for your pup. I am, genuinely, a dog-lover and truly love opening up my home to dogs. So, let's get things started! Book your pup's stay with me today!

Darcy has been dog sitting and house sitting for us for years. She is very dependable, responsible and loves dogs. She made sure our precious puppy was exercised, played with, given lots of love and attention, as well as fed throughout the day. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking a trustworthy dog loving person to take care of their dog(s)!

Information Darcy Z. would like to know about your pet

From attending dog shows since a young age and volunteering at multiple shelters, I'm very familiar and comfortable with working with all breeds and mixed breeds. However, I am most comfortable and experienced with Labrador Retrievers, spaniels, and Golden Retrievers. If you would like to book your dog to stay with me, please let me know of any pertinent information beforehand, such as different medicines they may take, feeding times, whether or not they are housebroken, etc. I'm very versatile and will easily adapt to the instructions you give me and whatever your dog needs.

A typical day

In walking distance from my house, there is the Short Line Trail which holds a main trail as well as miscellaneous safe side trails throughout the woods. I normally go for a hike once a day on this trail and around the neighborhood, and so you can expect your dog to accompany me! I have a fenced-in backyard and a large 3-bedroom open plan townhouse with plenty of room for both indoor and outdoor activities.
