Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet's New Bestie
I've spent decades with a full cast of characters - sassy cats, shy kittens, senior pups and high energy dogs - so I know how to meet every pet exactly where they are. I am calm, patient and full of love. Your pets will be treated like they're one of my own, with lots of care and attention to their unique personalities.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet like part of my family! I follow their routine closely - feeding, walks, playtime and snuggles so they feel safe and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Derlene was absolutely wonderful with our two Ragdoll boys, Mochi and Guinness! She did twice-daily drop-ins while we were away for our wedding, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands! 🐱🐱 Mochi can be quite shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, so we were especially happy to hear that he absolutely loved Derlene and warmed up to her so quickly! Derlene sent us updates and lots of photos every visit, which we really appreciated while we were away. We’re so grateful she took such great care of our boys and would absolutely recommend her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Darlene is AH-mazing with kitties! My cats loved her, even my shy boy. She diligently kept in contact with me throughout her time dropping in on my boys and made sure to send some awesome pictures everyday. I cannot recommend her enough ❤️

Schedule
I work Mondays and Thursdays from 7 AM to 2:30 PM, and Saturdays from 7 AM to 11 AM, so I’m free in the afternoons on those days. I am free all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine - I'm used to juggling animals with daily life, so I can provide walks, playtime, cuddles and meals consistently around my work schedule.

- It’s really helpful to know about a pet’s routine, personality and any special needs ahead of time. For example: their feeding schedule, favorite toys, energy level, any medical conditions or medications and things they might be nervous or sensitive about. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me safe, fun and stress-free.
