Caring Retired Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I am a recently retired Elementary School librarian living in PCB. I currently have two rescue dogs and one cat. I have been a pet owner for my entire life, and have owned dogs of many sizes, breeds, and genders as well as cats. I have also had other small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. I live in the Beach 87 neighborhood, and in my spare time I also volunteer at Alaqua Animal Refuge. My retired life allows me flexibility and availability to fit your needs whether it be a drop-in visit at 7am or a mid-day walk. I have experience caring for senior pets, as well as pets with medical needs, and I am comfortable giving dogs and cats medicine as requested. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, and can help maintain training for your furry loved one with tasks such as leash training, commands, and crate training. I can't wait to meet and care for your fur babies just like I care for my own!

Darlene was great. She really went above and beyond for my Thelma when an issue arose. She was responsive and very reliable. I had peace of mind when I was out of town. Thank you for taking such good care of my Thelms!
