Information Darion W. would like to know about your pet

*Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that may not be evident in a meet and greet, such as anxiety, growling, marking, or incontinence. I always like to be prepared.

A typical day

I love playing fetch, and walks in your neighborhood. Dogs and cats are usually happiest when having fun (just like us humans). Relaxation, cuddles and downtime is important for them also.

Pet care experience

Hi there you awesome pet owner and if you are new to Rover, welcome! I service Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and most of the Phoenix area. Please read this in its entirety before contacting me and be prepared for a meet and greet so that we can discuss your pet/housesitting needs. I would like to get to know you and your fur-baby. If there will be more than one person in the meeting please ensure they have read this and looked over the rates/policies. My rates reflect my many years of experience, maturity, reliability, and commitment to your pets and respect for your home. One of the amazing traits of dogs and cats is that they remind us to slow down and enjoy the moment as well as to laugh and not take life quite so seriously! I feel very blessed and grateful that I am able to be a full-time pet-sitter. I have experienced all sizes, types, and temperaments of dogs and cats, and have even taken care of birds, chickens, lizards and rabbits. While I am sitting for you I stay in the home except to go to the store, run an errand, etc. I do not take care of numerous other dogs or cats while I am sitting for yours and I do not have a job that requires I be away during the day. Your fur baby and your peace of mind is my priority. About me: I have over 25 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I fell in love with animals as a young girl and that respect and appreciation for them has only grown over the years. I have also been the photographer and volunteer for various charity events including the amazing Best Friends of Animals Society. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and was working in the corporate world for many years. I am semi-retired now and have a part-time creative business that I fit in when I can and do the work from home. I have also written a book that is on Amazon for pet sitters. About my stay: Your dogs will have frequent bathroom breaks, walks, snuggles, tummy rubs and playtime in and outside. For cats, the litter will be cleaned as needed and your instructions will be followed with regard to food, any medications, and playtime. Your home will be kept clean and treated with the utmost care. I can also water plants, bring in mail, provide waste removal in the yard, and take trash bins out if needed. If there are more specific tasks, such as giving medication or taking your pet to the groomer or vet, we can discuss those in the meeting. I do try to go above and beyond for my clients! (Please note: I have a 2 night minimum for house sitting). My contact hours are 9 AM - 8 PM for your request and to set-up our meet and greet, I do respond ASAP. I look very forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Darion is the dog whisperer. We have a big 90 lb mixed breed rescue who is reactive but can be incredibly sweet once he is comfortable. We have spent lots on therapy and worked hard on training. He warmed up to Darion immediately and they had a great time. We can't tell you how grateful we are to you. We are new to Scottsdale and being able to find someone who speaks this dog's language is really really hard. Thank you for your wonderful care and great communication while we were away.

We booked Darion on short notice. She was very accommodating and did drop-ins for us twice. Both times she showed up on time and followed instructions for our elderly cat. We felt really comfortable with her and will definitely use her services again soon and recommend her to our neighbors.

Darion is accommodating to my pets and understanding. She was very communicative and would update us with photos. I know my dogs enjoy her company. I highly recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
