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.
Cat care experience
Darlene also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Darlene was incredibly welcoming to us! It was my first time using a dog-sitter instead of my usual service, but Darlene sent daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I knew my dog was in great hands. Thank you, Darlene, for taking such wonderful care of my beloved dog!
Extremely professional, caring and reliable. Thank you for taking such good care of our pugs!
This is our second time using Darlene's services for our 2 kitties and I can't be happier. Darlene is super thoughtful, meticulous, and very attentive to my kitties. I will not hesitate to recommend Darlene and will definitely ask for her services again next time we're travelling.
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.😃

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.
