Availability
Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. Each morning, I start by feeding my pet and making sure they have fresh water. I also take a few minutes to check on their overall well-being—making sure they’re active, alert, and healthy. Depending on the type of pet, I incorporate walks or playtime into the day to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I set aside time for grooming tasks like brushing, nail trimming, and cleaning their living space or litter box. I also try to spend quality time bonding with my pet every day, which helps strengthen our relationship and ensures they feel loved and secure.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Pets are treated like family and are given lots of love and attention. I follow their normal feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medical needs (e.g., medications, special diets). Dogs get daily walks, playtime, and plenty of interaction. Cats have quiet spaces, scratching posts, and enrichment activities. I maintain a calm, structured environment to minimize stress.

Experienced & Loving Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Darlene. I babysit in tandem with my daughter because we live in the same household. All of my reviews are on there as well: https://www.rover.com/members/wida-mint-l-purrfect-pet-sitter/ With 57 years of life experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for many animals—dogs, cats, birds, and more. Each one has been a cherished part of my life, and through the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. You can trust that I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’ve always given my own.

Reviews
Darlene is lovely, warm and totally reliable. Our puppy is only three months old and Darlene was excellent with her. Highly recommend her.
Darlene did an excellent job caring for my diabetic dogs needs. She was communicative and professional especially with my dogs special health needs. I would recommend her to anyone especially those that have pets with special medical needs.
The best! I always feel confident that my Cashew is in good hands with Darlene!
Palmer always loves his time with Darlene!
