Jolene is an anxious confound who in the past had issues with her sitters. I was giving up going away alone with my husband. All that changed when I met and booked Jolene with Darlene. It was a wonderful experience for Jolene and gave me piece of mind even abroad. Highly recommend her service!

Jolene was very comfortable in Darlene's home. Darlene allowed my puppy to stay with her in her bedroom overnight. I have an anxious puppy but everything went well. She loved the backyard comps with Maggie and other borders. Will definitely book with Darlene again!

Darlene is the best and my dog Crumpet was so well taken care of while I was away for a week. She gave me constant updates with photos and videos and kept my mind completely at ease while on vacation. Cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be using her services in the future!

Darlene was absolutely wonderful with Shiloh!! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, always responding quickly and proactively sending photos and videos. I had been worried he might not eat, and she was on top of it, making sure he ate and keeping me updated along the way. Shiloh clearly enjoyed his stay and felt right at home. This was my first time using Rover, and she gave me such great peace of mind and made the whole experience completely stress-free. I felt so comfortable leaving Shiloh in her care and will absolutely book with her again!

Darlene took care of our golden retriever while we were overseas for 10 days. We got wonderful updates every day. Darlene and her family are warm and caring pet lovers - our pup definitely was made to feel at home.
