Hello, I'm Darlene and I love all animals. I believe in excellent furbaby care, customer service, and value. My family consists of 2 teenagers, 2 dogs, 3 kitties, and 3 ducks. I am certified by the Red Cross for pet first aid and CPR. I have grown up around dogs and other animals including horses; having been owned by at least one dog of my own since 1986. I have prior experience working in a boarding kennel, running a pet food bank, some training experience, pet body language experience, and have experience handling all sorts of dogs and cats; from a puppy or kitten, to special needs, to senior. I have owned a teacup poodle all the way up to a Great Dane, so size doesn't bother me. I strive to make you and your furbabies comfortable in your home. My goal is for you to have peace of mind about your pet(s) whether you're at work, out of town, or just wanting companionship for them. I will gladly dog and cat sit, while also having experience caring for birds like parakeets and cockatiels as well as small animals like ferrets, rodents, and reptiles. I can also horse and farm sit if needed as I have experience caring for and feeding horses, chickens, ducks, and goats, so please contact me for more info including custom rates. Excellent furbaby care, customer service, and value are priorities in my life. I give consideration to keeping the client's chosen time for services. I ask for a two hour window of rendering my drop-ins. I have a family, so I'm unable to provide 24/7 supervision. Please let me know your desired time while booking. Pet and house sitting are my passions and I do them full time. If instructions are left by the client, I follow those instructions to a tee. I let the dogs out for a potty break, play with them, and/or offer pets and scratches. For cats, I'm willing to clean litter boxes, play or offer companionship, feed, and give fresh water to them. Note: I'm not a vet tech and have experience changing diapers, caring for paralyzed and blind cats, giving subQ fluids, insulin shots, expressing bladders, and learn quickly if you have a special needs pet.
