Highlights
Pet care experience
Can't wait to welcome your dog
After retiring I adopted Sunshine a mini goldendoodle, my new best friend. Shortly after that I started to take care of my friends and family fur babies when needed. Realized I really enjoyed it and now want to open my home to more dog owners when they need someone to help them out. Can easily change our routine to accommodate your dogs specific need. Am able to give your dog their medication. Looking forward to welcoming your dog into my home.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Darlene was great. She is extremely reliable and was here on time every time to take our dog for her walks. Harper was always excited to see her. Highly recommend.
Darlene was great when doing drop in visits for our cat Misty this summer. She did a pre visit to get acquainted with the house, Misty and her food, water, treats, routine and litter. Then during the week of visits - she kept us updated throughout with pictures and updates about Misty, which made us feel better that she was well taken care of (and enjoy our own vacation a little more). She was loving and caring towards Misty, who was purring and taking belly rubs soon from Darlene. We absolutely would recommend Darlene for any future dog / cat visits or boarding, and will definitely be doing that ourselves next time!
Thank you so much for helping with walking our dog and putting his rain gear on. You were very reassuring with him and gentle. We will definitely book in the future if we are in the need for a dog walker.😃
Darlene was very communicative and great with our cat. She was happy to check on any concerns that we had and was loving to our sweet cat. She would send daily reports and pictures which was great. I was able to be relaxed on my trip knowing Darlene is caring for her. Will definitely hire again when we go away.

Schedule
As I am retired I can spend lot of time with your fur baby. Our day usually starts with a hour or so walk. Midday a 45 minute walk. Late afternoon another walk for about 20-30 minutes. The last one of the day is 10-15 minutes. Then off to bed where your fur baby can sleep on the bed, the floor, a dog bed. Except for the 1st walk of the day we are usually joined by friends with their dog.
