Information Darian R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any social or behavioral issues with your dog that I need to be aware of prior to meeting. I also appreciate communication about anything that might strike nervousness in your animal.

A typical day

I love walking, running, playing fetch or doing anything that is apart of your pups routine. I am also comfortable lounging with less mobile animals.

I highly recommend Darian. She's reliable, willing to accommodate specific requests, and easy to communicate with. Our dog was very excited to see her again after the meet and greet. Everything was taken care of while we were gone, especially our dog.

Darien met our dogs and agreed to sit them for our vacation. Darien and the dogs appeared to get along well during the meeting. However, Darien quit the day of, after we had already boarded a flight out of the country and refused our multiple different attempts to work with her so that our dogs could receive care. We were fortunate enough to find emergency care until we were able to get home but our trip was ruined and our dogs safety was put in jeopardy. I do not recommend trusting Darien with your pets safety.

Darian was professional and provided excellent care of our dogs Lucy and Mimi. We would absolutely rebook in the future. We came back to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you very much Darian.

Darian is awesome. She's dogsat Frida a bunch of times this winter, and she takes great care of her, takes her for walks, and feeds her when I'm out during meal times. She's communicative, on time, and always keeps me up to date on how the day is going, which is so great for peace of mind. Very happy and grateful that's she's able to watch Frida!
