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 so great to our puppies! She watched all three of my dogs and all three had such a great time. She sent SO many updates and photos it made me so happy. They almost didn’t want to leave 😆. I would definitely book with Darlene as many times as I can in the future!

Twister had THE BEST time at Darlene’s. We got updates multiple times a day, and he came home as if he’d been the one on vacation the whole time. I would absolutely book with Darlene again. Thank you for loving on our pup while we were out of town 💚💚

We have had our Welsh Springer Spaniel stay with Darlene many times and she always takes excellent care playing with her, walking her, feeding her according to our routine and always takes lots of pictures. We couldn't have found a better person.

Darlene was amazing! Ollie had a blast staying with her and playing with the other dogs! This is our second time with Darlene, and she sent us updates with photos several times every day. We are so thankful to be able to find a reliable sitter who takes such good care of our pup!

Thank you to Darlene for taking amazing care of Belle. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos. I was so worried about finding the right person to watch Belle, because we would be traveling for over three weeks and we’d never been gone that long. I knew my girl had separation anxiety and even got meds from her vet in case she needed them. But Darlene came highly recommended by a dear friend and we are so thankful for that. Belle had friends to play with every day and it looked like she had a blast staying there. I would highly recommend Darlene and will definitely rebook with her again.
