Your Pet’s 2nd Favorite Human 🐾

Accepting new clients for drop in visits and boarding! Hi! I’m Darian — a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for all things furry. I have three dogs and one cat of my own, so pet hair and paw prints don’t bother me one bit! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—my grandmother was a dog groomer for over 20 years, and I previously worked as a Shift Lead in the PetSmart Pets Hotel in Overland Park, KS. In that role, I learned to care for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I was responsible for feeding, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and monitoring behavior and health (yes, even their poop!). I know how tough it can be to leave your pets behind—that’s why I treat every animal like one of my own. My home is pet-friendly, kid-friendly, and has a fenced-in backyard perfect for safe outdoor time. My own dogs are mellow to moderately active and do well with others. What to Expect: ✅ A safe, loving environment ✅ Experience with medications & basic grooming ✅ Reliable updates and open communication Important Note: For all Boarding and Doggy Day Care bookings, I do require a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures a great fit for everyone and gives us a chance to connect in person! 📲 I always respond to requests, though I may not reply immediately if I’m away from my phone. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Darian is amazing with our Maverick! She doesn't just let him out for potty breaks. Darian takes her time to play and give Maverick the attention he needs.

Schedule

I’m a stay-at-home mom who also works from home, which means your pup gets nearly 24/7 attention, love, and supervision while in my care. Our home is full of energy, positivity, and love—thanks to me, my husband, and our son. We spend a lot of time outside enjoying fresh air, playtime, and sunshine, and your pet will be right there with us as part of the family. Whether it’s fetch in the backyard, cuddles on the couch, or just keeping a steady routine, your fur baby won’t be short on attention or care.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pets are family—and mine are definitely spoiled! I take a more holistic, attentive approach to pet care, focusing on comfort, calmness, and play. Your pet’s routine is my priority: whether it’s specific feeding times, medications, or preferred activities, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter to ensure your fur baby feels at home. We enjoy daily walks and games of fetch when the weather allows, and there’s always plenty of cozy spots for naps, cuddles, and downtime. I provide a safe, pet-friendly home environment, and I’m always tuned in to how each animal is feeling. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to follow that routine. I offer close supervision and can separate pets as needed for breaks, meals, or downtime—whatever makes everyone feel most safe and secure.

Pets

A typical day

Your pet will enjoy tons of attention from me, my husband, our son, and our dogs and my cat! We have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for fetch, zoomies, and even sprinkler fun on hot summer days. If your pup is leash-trained, we’ll take relaxing walks around the neighborhood for fresh air and plenty of sniffing adventures!

Ahead of time I would like to know if your animal has had any history of aggression towards other dogs, cats, or kids? Can your pup jump a privacy fence? Does your pup have separation anxiety? Have you done any sort of training classes with you pup? (this way I know what commands and words you use) (ex: "off" "leave it") Does your pup have any allergies? (ex: chicken, beef)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
