Pet care experience

Let me be your pets best friend!

I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 26, 2025

I needed daycare for our puppy who is not yet accustomed to being alone. Darin was so great with her. She came home after a few hours pooped out and happy from doggy play.

Had a great experience with Darin. He shared updates and was very flexible in keeping our dogs extra days when weather delayed our return home. The dogs seemed to be enjoying themselves in the photos.

Darin was awesome with Wylie from our first meeting and could tell he had a connection to Wylie during his visits!

Great care for my dog. He’s always happy when he comes home. Trips to the park to play, walks, and updates that show he loves my pup too, which is the best.

Schedule

I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me.

Safety, trust & environment

Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.

Pets

A typical day

I have a huge fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play safely. I can also walk them around the neighborhood easily if needed.

If your dog has any special needs please just let me know! I have plenty of experience giving medication and special dietary attention. I also like to ask a few questions pertaining to how you would communicate with your dog. I feel consistency is best so the dog knows that they are in hands as good as their owners.
