Local, loving pet care

Pet care experience

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.

My dog loves visiting Darlene! She sent lots of pictures and videos and updates. I will definitely book her services again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

This was my first time using Rover so I was a little unsure about leaving my dogs for the day since my dogs can get very anxious when left alone or in unfamiliar situations. Darlene did an amazing job of making them feel right at home. She kept me updated through the day and sent tons of photos which helped put my mind at ease.

What an amazing job she did. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. Captain my dog looked super happy, and was very well taken care of. I definitely recommend.

I can't recommend Darlene enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my dog Unagi while I was away and did an outstanding job. Darlene kept me updated throughout the day with texts and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Unagi was well taken care of. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive to Unagi's needs. I could tell that she genuinely cares for animals and treated Unagi like her own. I will definitely be reaching out to Darlene again the next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you so much, Darlene!

Information Darlene S. would like to know about your pet

I would always love to know how your furry friend is like to other animals and humans. How they are on a leash, do they have any triggers, and if there’s anything I should be aware of.

Each experience is always different and unique depending on your pet personality and life style. I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to make sure your animal has an amazing safe time. I love to play, walk, cuddle, run, and whatever your furry friend wants!
