Veterinary Technician of 29 years
Pet care experience
I'm a semi-retired veterinary technician with over 29 years of experience caring for animals in a veterinary setting and am an experienced pet sitter. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, pocket pets, turtles, tortoises, reptiles, and even a Kinkajou. If your pet has anxiety, special needs or needs medicating, I am comfortable performing all aspects of care (including bathing and nail trims!). I am dependable, have a flexible schedule, and am usually available on short notice. Say no more to your pet being stressed out being in a kennel! I will treat and love on your pet as they are one of my own and will provide the best care when you're not there! I am "Mom" to two French Bulldogs (Pippa and Loo-Wee), a Chihuahua mix (Lord Earl of Talki Talki), 2 cats (Dragon Roll aka Rowlie and Stinkpickle) and 2 Redfoot tortoises (Dumbletort and Melvin).
Reviews
Darlene is wonderful! My furballs can be a challenge, but she took them for their first walk together and handled them like an expert. She really knows what she is doing. I have also had several issues with the app and each time Darlene replied to my text quickly and without hesitation, helped me complete the task. I am very glad to have found her!
BOOK DARLENE. We have 3 dogs, all over 70lbs, these guys are our babies. We had to leave for past 2 weeks to get married, and I was incredibly nervous on who was going to take care of our pups because all.our closest family was traveling with us. Darlene truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND, in every way imaginable. I did not have to worry for even a second about our puppers. We also got married on our baby, Sarge's, birthday, qo we weren't around. I of course let Darlene know and told her to give extra love, well she did that but even more. She got them fresh pet, pup cups, hats, and banners!!! The day of our wedding we were crying because of how much she was loving our pups. We have a handicapped GSD who was obviously in love with Darlene and got all the love. Our pups were so spoiled rotten in every good way possible. We got updates and (a lot!!!) photos ever day. Our house was also left exactly as left. I would hire Darlene again in an instant. We have already been recommending her to all of our friends and families. I can't believe how lucky we got with Darlene.
Darlene provides excellent communication and pictures of the pups! Is always on time and extremely competent. We’re very appreciative to have found someone that is reliable and great with our pups!
Another good job. I have no concerns when you have Sassy. I am sure she looks forward to you coming. Thank you.
