Highlights
Pet care experience
I specialize in 'problem' dogs
I can walk a reactive dog, feed a resource guarder, and find the right approach to a bite-risk fearful pup. I am a professional dog trainer and behaviorist with over 3 years of experience. I worked at a board and train facility and learned everything about basic dog health information to advanced ways to train and fulfill them. I enjoy taking care of their needs, play with them, and even help them with behavioral issues. If other sitters/walkers turned you down, I am here to help you. I won't just take care of them day to day, but also help them overcome their issues, fears, and inappropriate outlets for their emotions. Happy pets make me happy, let's discuss how I can take care of your furry baby.
Cat care experience

Darina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I am respectful of the pets need. If they are active and playful, I would be glad to play with them, take them on walks, and do some training to engage their mind. For pets that are more docile, I would be happy to give them more pets and attention with less exercise. Happy to discuss your pets needs with you and make sure we follow it.
Ratings and reviews
Darina is very communicative and helpful! She walks our Luna on a recurring basis

Darina is so lovely!! highly recommend

Would recommend for walks!

Very responsive! Followed all of our instructions and took pics of our Luna girl!

Darina walked my dog Sammy a few times this spring and we really appreciated it! He was super happy after and was psyched to see her when she came back. Would definitely reach out again.
Darina is amazing with animals! She truly understands their needs and makes sure that they are happy and healthy. She took awesome care of my cat, Gubby. I could not recommend her more highly.
