Availability

I’m currently working from home. So, I am able to pet-sit throughout the day, take them on walks, and provide attentive care. I am available on weekends, as well. Your dog will be comfortable with me and my dog in our apartment. They won’t be alone and will have continuous company, either from me or my dog. Llano (Yano) is a mellow dog, so he tends to be easy going.

Information Darian L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: - Are they comfortable around other dogs? They’ll be spending all their time with my dog as well. - Can they be alone? - Energy level - Velcro level (level of attachment) - What makes the (un-) comfortable? - Do they have a set eating schedule or potty schedule? - Are they anxious pups? - Are specific care instructions? - Are there any concerns? I have a general word document I’ll ask you to fill out with many questions that will help me make sure to take care of your fur baby as best as possible.

A typical day

I would be able to take them on walks or to play! — there’s also several parks nearby where I can take them on walks. They’ll have my dog to keep them company and join them on walks as well.

Pet care experience

hello! I’ve been a pet sitter for quite some time. I’ve taken care of dogs on and off over the years. I was a Rover house-sitter for 2 years and then took a break for travels and work. I’m now back to dog sitting and doggy day care! I’m happy to do long-term pet sitting, I tend to have a flexible schedule. I had a dog my own for 10 years, he was a small to medium sized Pomeranian. I now have another dog, he’s 3 years old and a greyhound-lab mix. He’s very mellow and really great with other dogs. He’s very well trained and responds to English and Spanish.

Darian was fantastic! I have 2 Cocker Spaniels that go with me everywhere so I was nervous about leaving them for a week to go on a family vacation. Darian sent me pictures and updates a few times a day and was always immediate to respond to my texts. She is a very competent young woman! I came home to 2 happy dogs and the house was neat and tidy! I will definitely have Darian house sit my dogs again!

Darian was so wonderful with Casey! She was very conscientious and caring! She took the time to ask questions and make notes when needed. She was communicative and responsible. We will definitely rebook with her again! Thank you, Darian! ☺

Darian went above and beyond. First, she was a great pet sitter. She constantly sent me pictures of Rambo and let me know how everything was going. It put my mind at ease seeing how happy he was and knowing he was doing well. Second, she left my place clean! This was super appreciated especially coming home from a vacation and the last thing you want to do is clean up any messes! She was a great communicator which is very important to me and did a fantastic job taking care of him and giving him love and attention! I know he appreciated all of the walks and playtime he received when she was watching him. I highly recommend Darian- especially if you don't want to worry about your pup while you are away!
