Highly recommend Darlene. She took him even if it’s last minute when our regular sitter had an emergency. She’s been great with Pharaoh. Followed his meds and feeding instructions to a tee. She’s sent us pictures and updates regularly while we’re away on vacation. Won’t hesitate to use her service/s again in the future.

She is so great with pets! I would trust her with my puppy. She's very kind and gentle. Would very much recommend as a sitter!

Darlene loves all animals. She has had many animals and has taken great care of them. She would make an excellent caregiver of all and any animals.

Darlene has always had a passion for animals and their well being and care. She looks out for every animal even those that are on the street. She always offers to help those with animals around her. She's the kind of person that would risk her life to try and save an animal in danger. Her love for her pets is very apparent and I've had the personal pleasure of watching her live out her beliefs in the way she's loved her own pets over the last 30 years. You couldn't choose a better person to not just watch your pets but love them too.
