Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my whole life and have always been passionate about them since I was a kid. I wanting to be a vet when I grew up but life took a different turn and I settled on being a veterinary assistant. I continue to learn daily about their food, exercise and energy needs to be healthy, happy, content pets. I am blessed to make a living doing what I love and helping animals to be at their best! I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats and besides my 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids they are the loves of my life!! I hope one day to be able to have a senior sanctuary for pets in my home to provide a safe loving atmosphere to seniors in their last years.

Safety, trust & environment

I can come to your home and follow a specific guideline that you have scheduled for your pet. I understand how pets get accustomed to a certain routine and come to look forward to and expect scheduled playtime, meals and treats. I also know how they can get lonely while their people are away and just want some attention and cuddle time.

Information Darien M. would like to know about your pet

From working at a veterinary hospital I do understand every pet might have their own specific needs and I can gladly accommodate their specialized care. If your pet has a special dietary schedule or medication just let me know the details and I will make sure they are 100 % met. I will treat your pets as they are my very own!!

A typical day

I live right on the I & M canal so I have access to a wonderful walking trail with plenty of fresh air, sunshine and nature to explore. If your pets are mostly indoor then we can play with toys, games, and do indoor activities to stimulate their minds. If car rides are their thing I have an SUV with plenty of room for tail wags and happy smiles and we can cruise to go get a treat. Your pet will definitely look forward to my next visit!!
