Information Darien R. would like to know about your pet

Most important is their social behavior with other people and other dogs. Your dog will be in contact at some point with other dogs due to my multiple dog services. Behavior at home(destroy house property for example). Aggression, any noise sensitivity, medical issue I need to be aware of, vaccination record, fleas and ticks up to date & other important information to accommodate your baby as best.

A typical day

BOARDING: Pup(s) will be on a semi daily routine. They wake up, get their first potty, breakfast, walk, relax in playroom(play or nap), mid day walk, lunch, relax, potty break, walk or play in backyard and we close of the day with a good night rest. Drop off and pick up time is between 8am- 5pm. Anything outside of these hours may require additional fee. DOGGY DAYCARE: Doggy Daycare is very similar to boarding. Pup get to do as much depending on what time they are being dropped off and picked up. Drop off and pick up time is 8am- 5pm. Anything outside these hours may require additional fee. DOG WALKING: I walk dogs in a safe and comfortable manner. Occasionally I use Airtag depending on the pup(s)energy level or experience with walking. I do not take pup(s) to dog park as to avoid any distress. Hours for dog walking is 8am- 5pm. Anything outside these hours may require additional fee. DROP-INS: I change water bowl, give food, medication if necessary, take dogs outside in the BACKYARD, play with them if they wish, bring back inside and finish of with hugs and kisses. (Please keep in mind that drop in means everything is being done inside your home. If you request to walk your pup in front of your house even if it’s for 10 minutes, it will be considered as a dog walk) that means your drop in request will be combined with a dog walk fee. UNNEUTERED AND UNSPAYED PUP(S): I am open for unneutered and unspayed pup(s). There will be an extra charge of $25 on the standard rate. This is due to the extra attention that the pup(s) requires( I.e. humping and constant peeing around property.) DOG GROOMING: At the moment I offer one FREE GROOMING SESSION with at least one night of boarding at my home. (As long as pup desires to be groomed. No aggressive dogs!!) After the first time FREE grooming I have separate offers if interested: Bath & Blowdry $15-$50 depending on size and coat type of dog. Full Groom starts at $32 and up depending on size and coat type. Pick up and Drop off rate starts at $10 depending on distance of location.

Darien is incredible! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She will care for your pet like her own. Kind, compassionate and loving toward our dog. Darien is very flexible and reliable, which made our Thanksgiving gathering less stressful for the day. Thank you Darien for making life a bit easier during the Holidays!

This was Oliver’s first stay with Darien. She was very responsive and kept me updated on how Oliver was doing the entire trip. Oliver is 15 years-old and needs certain medication daily and Darien had no issue with administering his medicine. I am very happy with my experience and will use her again.
