I'll love your dog like my own!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a small Pomeranian we called "Pom Pom", so I became used to the daily love and care of a pet very early on. Pom Pom would ride in my bicycle basket while I delivered newspapers and absolutely loved the ride. Fast forward to now, I having a goofy, affectionate, 5 year old mastiff-mix, Darcy. She still has the energy of a puppy, so we go on frequent walks in the afternoons or evenings. Every now and then we do short runs through our neighborhood, which she loves. Taking care of our dog when I was younger, I had to help administer medications, so I'm used to that as well. Darcy is about 90-100 lbs, so I'm also used to large dogs as well.

Darice is a good care giver for furry pets! She has a cat and dog , in which she takes good care of and her calm, nurturing demeanor has made them get along....I would definitely recommend her as a pet caregiver for others.

Darice, kept my dog for a week while I was out of the country. She sent photos of them walking and playing in her yard which made it easier on me since this was the first time I had to leave him. She was very courteous and respectful of the things I asked her to do for him which other sitter flat out told me no. I would recommend her to anyone that loves the dog like a family member

I've known Darice Corey-Gilbert and her family for close to a decade. She is mature, responsible, conscientious, compassionate, and reliable. Her love of dogs is well-known, and she showers her lucky dog, Darcy, with tons of love and affection. As a result, Darcy is a sweet, affectionate dog whose goal in life is to snuggle and give kisses. I would be thrilled to leave my animal in Darice's capable hands. She will make your dog welcome and safe.

Information Darice C. would like to know about your pet

Tell me a little bit about your dog. What treats, activities are their favorites? What doesn't your dog like? Is your dog good with children? How does your dog react around other dogs? How often does your dog need potty breaks?

A typical day

We go on walks around the neighborhood or local parks. If it's an extremely hot day, I try to wait for the evenings when it cools down so they don't burn their paws. We like to play in the yard, kick around the ball for the dogs to chase, sometimes fun in the doggy pool or water hose, or just plain relax in the back yard.
