Pets have been a part of my life ever since I can remember. As an adult, I have cared for pets in many different circumstances. Experience, compassion, and genuine love of animals are what I bring to your home. I know how much it takes to leave my babies in the hands of others. I’m here to let you know that when you hire me, you can relax and know your babies are being loved and cared for.

Our cats warmed up to Darla quickly and she gave them plenty of pets and attention. Darla kept us updated with daily messages and pictures. The cats were fed, watered and given treats per instructions. I would book Darla again.

We had a wonderful experience with Darla! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was always timely and reliable. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos of our dogs while we were away as it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was clear our pups were getting lots of attention and love. We came home to happy dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Darla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Darla has been so very helpful. I broke my ankle and have 2 dogs one is so laid back the other is a 4.5 month old puppy and I was struggling so hard to give him attention. Darla immediately bonded with both dogs and has taken the best care of them while I can't. Highly highly recommend her!

The best dog sitter!! Darla has truly saved us this last month with all the travel we have had to do. She is so responsive and I know our dog was in great hands! Our flight was majorly delayed and she stayed extra time to make sure he was cared for. Our house is always clean, she sends us tons of pictures and videos, and we cannot recommend her enough!
