Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel alone, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, exercise, or simply keeping them company and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision, attention, and care. In your home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I ensure doors and spaces are secure and never leave pets unattended for long. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
Information Darlene G. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any special needs or medical conditions. I also ask about behavior, triggers, and preferences—such as how they interact with other pets or new people. This helps me provide safe, personalized care and keep your pet comfortable and happy.
A typical day
A typical day includes walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and affection. I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level—whether that’s long walks, games, or relaxed cuddle time. I also include mental stimulation like basic training or interactive play. Throughout the day, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved, while keeping their routine consistent.

Experienced, Reliable Pet Care
Pet care experience
*Use code CAROLG31006 for $20 credit on first booking* Hello! I'm Darlene! My family and friends also call me Caroline, so feel free to use either name. I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up with three dogs—a Husky, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel—so I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
Reviews
Darlene took care of my senior Cocker Spaniel, Bella, while I was on vacation, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Bella has a specific routine and requires a little extra patience, and Darlene handled everything perfectly. Darlene was attentive, compassionate, and treated Bella like she was her own dog. When I returned home, Bella was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Darlene is dependable, communicative, and truly loves animals.
I've trusted Darlene with my Labrador, Max, several times, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. Max can be very energetic and needs plenty of exercise, but Darlene always made sure he got long walks, playtime, and lots of attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that Max was happy and comfortable with her. I highly recommend Darlene to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Nori is a handful, so finding Caroline was a lifesaver. After her walks, he'd come home tired and way less interested in causing trouble — which any doodle owner knows is priceless. She clearly loves what she does and treated Nori like her own. We'll definitely be booking again!
