Happy Pets Stay with Us!!!

I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from my own pets to helping neighbors with theirs. Every pet is treated like family, and their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ve recently discovered a passion for dog grooming and am happy to offer basic grooming services, including bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, deshedding, and nail trims for dogs that are comfortable with them. My goal is to help your pet look and feel their best while making grooming a calm and positive experience. I’m also working with an experienced dog trainer to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior, handling, and training techniques. In addition, I’m currently pursuing certifications in pet first aid, CPR, and professional pet care so I can provide the highest level of care and peace of mind for every family I serve. Dog Walking: My dog-walking service is a special opportunity for my 16-year-old son, who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury and working hard to earn his own spending money. He has grown up around animals and genuinely loves spending time with dogs. All walks are supervised and coordinated through me, and if you prefer that I personally handle every walk, I’m always happy to do so. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, grooming, or loving care while you’re away, they’ll be treated with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced side yard with a doggy door, allowing dogs that are comfortable using it easy access for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time throughout the day. If your dog has a different routine, I’m happy to follow your preferences. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime with me, my family, and our friendly dogs (if appropriate). We also provide two enjoyable walks each day, along with lots of affection, enrichment, and attention. Of course, treats are always given according to your instructions, dietary preferences, and any allergies or restrictions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

Darla is the nicest person and will care for your animals as if they are her own. I am so lucky to have found them to help out with my girls as I just get settled with work here in town. Your pets are in great hands with Darla and her family.

Archie instantly felt at home! Darla and I talked for a few minutes about Archie's needs while he and one of her own dogs played. The four night stay was brutal for me but Darla sent texts and pictures that helped ease my anxiety,I knew he was safe, cared for and happy.

We had a fantastic experience with Darla. It was our first time leaving our 6mo old pup with someone overnight so we weren’t sure how he’d react. Darla and her family made him feel right at home and sent photo updates during the evening which I really appreciated. Thank you so much Darla!

From first contact, Darla made me super comfortable to leave my precious baby in her care. We scheduled a meet up prior to the pet sitting and that was much appreciated. She cared for my pup as if he was part of the family, and I know that he got lots of attention and activity. Would definitely book Darla and her sweet family again!

Pet care has become one of my greatest passions. My primary focus is now caring for my family, completing my dual bachelor’s degrees, and providing loving, dependable care for pets. My husband works from home, so one or both of us are almost always here to provide companionship and supervision. We also have two teenagers who absolutely adore animals and love giving our furry guests extra attention, playtime, and affection. Our home is filled with love, and we understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet enjoys adventure, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet spot, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. If your pet requires medications, supplements, a special diet, or has any medical, behavioral, or mobility considerations, please let me know in advance. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and will administer medications exactly according to your schedule and directions. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please include any important information about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, favorite routines, or anything else that will help me provide the very best care for your furry family member.
