I have known Darlene for many years as both an employee and as a very dear friend. Darlene was a pet care attendant in the animal hospital where I work and she was a highly valued employee. Darlene stood out from others for the time, care and concern that she showed to each one of our boarding patients. She always had the pets best interest at heart and had a keen eye for picking up subtle changes in behavior that needed to be brought to my attention. On the home front Darlene became a caregiver to my elderly mother when she lived in my home. Not only did she care for my mom but became part of our family and a second mom to my children. My own menagerie fell in love with Darlene! If caring, compassionate, responsible and trust worthy are on the top of your must have list look no further. Your pet could not be in better hands than to be taken care of by Darlene.
