Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to have pets outside of my one cat in my home currently. However, I have many years of experience house sitting and pet sitting for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, rats, and rabbits.

Information Dargan L. would like to know about your pet

Any kind of reactivity! I am very comfortable handling reactive dogs but do need to know ahead of time that way I am able to advocate for your pet to the full extent. In addition to this, any health concerns should be noted (i.e. heart disease, respiratory disease, viral infections, injuries (limps, wounds etc.)). I'm well versed in handling all of the above but need to know for the safety of your loved one and others!

A typical day

I love to take long walks. I am a huge believer that one should stop and smell every rose if they want to! I run so I have no problems playing fetch for an hour or going on a jog with especially wild friends. When it comes to the felines, I am very used to long play times as my cat Batman doesn't have an off switch. While i'm also happy to lounge in the sun, know that I understand it's just as important for cats to get ample stimulation as it is for their canine counterparts.

Former veterinary assistant!

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats and dogs around me my whole life, and since I have worked in the veterinary field for years, I am well versed in caring for a wide range of needs, and comfortable caring for pets that may need a little extra love, patience or attention. I have a passion for caring for senior and special needs pets but will never say no to some puppy or kitten cuddles!

Dargan took great care of our dog while we were away for a week, and we knew the whole time he was in wonderful hands! We definitely recommend and will request in the future! Thank you 😊

Dargan is amazing with Wolfie! My dog is a rescue with some reactivity and she works so well with him. They gained each others trust quickly and are already best buds! We are weekly repeat client!

Dargan has taken care of my cat a few times while I have been out of town. She gets along with him so well and is always reliable. She is super knowledgeable when it comes to animals and is someone I reach out to anytime I have a question. I would highly recommend her.
