I love dogs & work from home

Pet care experience

I've had a puppy, and an old dog with many needs and understand how to take care of each making him/her feel special, loved, and satisfied. Every dog is special & I would treat your dog as I do mine. I've sat many friends and neighbors dogs & enjoy it immensely. I would love to give your dog the attention and love it needs. I also will help them cope with having you, their owner/companion gone and know how that can be stressful for a dog. I'm healthy and able to walk, run, or play with your pet if they desire, and, give them lots of love. I enjoy being with them & would be happy just to sit with them if they are hurt. I am excited about the opportunity to meet your dog and care for him/her! I am a work at home mom which allows for flexibility. I would like to bring more money into the family and this is something that I enjoy fully. My weekday mornings consist of taking care of my children & getting them off to school. Then I walk the dog(s) and then feed them around 8:/9:am. I pick them up from school in the afternoon & then can walk or take care of your dog again. I am also available in the evening as I drop off kids at their activities. My weekends are flexible though, I usually stick to a similar schedule with my dog since that's what he's used to! I have 3 boys ages 13 - 18 and they enjoy dogs also and would be able to assist me. They absolutely love dogs!. My dog enjoys walking with other dogs. If I walked him with your dog I would of course ensure they got along. If you have an alpha or unfriendly dog, I would obviously walk them separately. Every dog we have taken care of has done well with my dog, including my neighbors hyper needy dog for 3 weeks! Finally, after the 2nd week she settled down and behaved very well, enjoying her daily walks that she never gets at her home. My dog is very well behaved and she learned how to behave very well also. My dog enjoys playing & roughhousing in our yard or at the park. My old dog used to fetch & that's always fun, I miss that. I have an SUV I can use to take him/her to the park if needed. I would be able to spend a minimum of 1/2 hour with your pet and certainly could do more & even make frequent trips to your house. If you wanted/needed your dog(s) to stay at my house during the day, that would be great also since I work from home I could give him/her lots of attention. I would be willing to work with your needs and after a few meetups we could have sleepovers! I look forward to hearing from you & working with you, but mostly, being with your dog. :) Thank you for your consideration. P.S. I am working on being a Healing Touch for Animals practitioner as I want to help all dogs (& their 'parents' in need) in every way I can.

Darla is a superb sitter. Both of my dogs had a blast with her wonderful family and backyard. I look forward to her caring for my pups again.

Darla was wonderful with our active Aussie puppy. She was very flexible and took Kody at the last minute for day care. He had a great time!!

Darla's home is a welcoming home away from home for your furry-child. Knowing her for over ten years, I can attest to the love, care and energy she and her family provide for their furry-loved-ones. With three boys, there is no end to the attention and play your dog(s) will receive. And if you have an older, slower "child" who might require a slower pace and special attention, the family knows all too well how to care for them too. With having cared for their own aging and ailing lab, Samson, I witnessed the loving care and close attention they all bestowed on him. In a nutshell, if you are looking for a family who will treat you furry-loved-one as their own, you will find it with Darla and her family!
