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 was great watching our two small dogs for a few days. We know our dogs loved her nice warm home and the backyard area. We appreciated the update mid-way through our trip to know everything was going well. Would take the dogs back anytime. Thanks again!

We were so fortunate to find Darlene on Rover. She is kind, responsible and her love for dogs is very apparent. Molly took to her immediately and we loved receiving photos showing how comfortable she was at her home away from home. Thanks Darlene, we will call on you again.

Darlene took good care of my dog, so happy to meet such an expert in taking care of small dogs! She treats my dogs well. I will definitely choose her again to take care of my dog ​​if I travel in the future.

Darlene was great. Very professional and true dog lover. My little dog is easy to care for but I was worried about him because we have seldom been separated and I worried a little about separation issues. I've worked from home the whole time I have had him. Darlene has two little dogs herself so I knew my pooch would have play mates. Plus Darlene lets the dogs sit on the couch and even sleep with her. Darlene sent a picture every day which I appreciated. I would highly recommend Darlene, especially for small dogs and will definitely use her again.

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.
