Information Darlene M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby has any separation or anxiety about anything. My dog uses a thunder shirt when it storms. Is there anything that makes your baby nervous or posessive?

A typical day

I love playing tug and fetch. If it's nice out we spend time in the yard playing in the sprinkler or just chillin in the sun.

Small dog lovers dream!

Pet care experience

Hi! I live in midtown on a very private street with almost no traffic unless you have business on it. I love dogs! I have 1 small dog, a pomeranian loves to have playmates. She is very friendly and can't wait to meet your fur baby. I have had small to medium size dogs my entire adult life and can't imagine a day without them. I am early retired and can't think of a better way to spend my time. I have a fenced in yard and they will all get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I am 5ft tall, so large dogs would take my arm out of it's socket. My house is dog ready for your baby to come and play.

Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!

Our pup did great with Darlene! Very calm space for daycare with another small dog.

My dog had a lovely time getting to play with other pups his own size. Lovely home with secure yard made me feel at ease that Chip would be safe during his stay. Great service.

Our dog was well cared for and had good company with other small dogs. Darlene did a good job ensuring our dog settled in well and had plenty of activities
