Pet care experience

Local, loving pet care

I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old and have been around dogs my whole life. I have so much love for them and will continue to love and care for them. I have raised puppies and taken care of senior dogs. I love walking, feeding, bathing, playing, snuggling, training, and learning about dogs. I will always put your dog's needs first and give them the patience and love they deserve.

Darlene was amazing! We received multiple updates every day of our girl “smiling”, playing ball, hardcore relaxing, and eating her meals promptly (which is notable on its own, as she rarely eats right away at home). Birdie was happy and clearly well taken care of when we picked her up. We’re glad to have added Darlene to our village of caring people who keep our family afloat ❤️

Darlene was amazing with our two pups! One of our babies is very nervous, and Darlene went out of her way to ensure he was comfortable. He warmed up to her right away and had a great time with the other pups while we were away. Darlene also sent consistent updates with photos which put our hearts at ease! She will definitely be our go-to sitter from here on out, highly recommend!

Darlene took great care and attention to my big big pups. It's not easy taking care of two large dogs, but Darlene did it with ease. She gave them all the affection and attention they wanted along with regular walks and plenty of play time. She was always great about communicating by providing updates throughout the day along with pictures. Will definitely use her services again.

A typical day
