I have been around dogs all my life. I love and enjoy caring for them I .have watched my family and friends dogs on many occasions. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. I have a great fenced in backyard that leads to a private road that I take my dogs on for a walk. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I will give your dog lots of love and attention. This is best job I’ve ever had.

I have been friends with Darlene for over fifty years. During this time she has taken care of my dogs, both Sunshine who passed away ten years ago, and Precious who is still with me. She has always shown a love for her, taking her of her in a loving, caring way. I would recommend Darlene to take care of any pet in her care with her sweet and loving attitude. Any more information you need on her, please contact me.

We had such a great experience with Darlene! She took amazing care of our dog Larry, a Chihuahua mix with a very loving (and sometimes needy!) personality. Darlene was incredibly attentive and patient, making sure Larry felt comfortable, safe, and loved the entire time. She took her (Larry is a girl) outside often to enjoy the backyard—something I know Larry really appreciated—and she was always in tune with her needs. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly treats your dog like family, I can’t recommend Darlene enough. We’ll absolutely be booking her again!
