Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, my babies are free roam in the house, allowing for them to sleep and lounge where ever they please. Their feeding schedules are fixed, and their meals stay out for as long as they need to eat them, while I have also had pets in the past that were crated, and don’t free feed, making my experience broader. Everyone takes care of their babies differently, and working in the boarding facility. This helped me in allowing for changes in schedules and working with the clients needs for their pets. Learning this skill in the workplace will help me in applying it within my clients homes!

Information Darian C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any medical conditions or medications they are currently taking. Along with any triggers for aggression or fear. Please make sure I am aware of anything and everything possible to keep us all safe.

A typical day

All animal fur babies are taken care of and played with in different ways, the way I would play with my own dogs include getting them excited so they have their daily zoomies, and cuddling them while watching a movie. I would work with what the animal enjoys most and make them feel like they are being taken care of by their family.

Pet care experience

I have been fortunate to grow up my whole life with animals of all kinds, from dogs, to cats, to rats, to hamsters, to hedgehogs and to bearded dragons! My love for animals has grown up with me over the years. I was given the opportunity to work at an all animal boarding facility, that anchored my love to work with animals as a future career. Some of the things I would do is bathe dogs, play in yards with them one on one, give all of the animals lots of love and affection, and make their time spent with us feel as if they’re at home. I have also been fortunate enough to meet great clients at this job, that I still speak with to this day. I am in the process of working towards my dream job as being an Exotic Veterinarian. The first step in this journey I have accomplished by working in a Veterinary Hospital, that I am currently employed with. I take time to help doctors in any way they need, along with scheduling their appointments and establishing a client relationship with them.

Thank you so much! Darian was great with the pups and took care of both them and our house with the utmost care. She was also very responsive and really helped out us out of a jam, our sitter cancelled at the last minute and she stepped up and made it work!

I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!

Darien cared for my two high-energy puppies and she handled them wonderfully. Both of them really liked her! She followed my instructions to the letter and my pups had a great experience with her. I'll definitely be booking her again.

Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.
