Pet care experience

Cats like me, I like cats

I have two cats, they are very different. One is skittish another one is super playful. I learned how to respect cats just the way that they are, their boundaries and traits. I will be able to give your cat what they need. If they are ready to play - great. if they just want me to wait for them to approach me - no problem.

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.

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.

Pets

A typical day

Starting the day, I would give the dog their food and proceed with my morning routine. I like morning walks. So I would definitely take a pup on my daily coffee + park adventure. I would go home, let them rest until lunch time. For lunch, I usually grab a bodega sandwich, which is another great opportunity for a walk around the neighborhood. After lunch, we could play a little, I can also train your dog if you would like.

- dietary needs + habits - exercise needs - medical information I should know about - favorite toys + games - are there any commands you would like me to work on.
