Pet care experience
Love them like my own fur babies
!!!!! UPDATE !!!!!! Hello furbaby parents! I'm ending my sitting services in 2026 (though still walking and doing drop-ins). I am incredibly thankful for all the parents and furbabies I got to know/care for throughout the years. I'm moving onto another job. I have passed my boards!! I'm going to miss sitting so much! This job is so fulfilling to me. I hope to return to the scene one day. I've had dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout my life. Goldens, pitties, ausies, pomeranians, chihuahuas, docs, etc. I started dogsitting/walking since I was in high school for my neighborhood at first and then expanded into my family's co-workers. I've cared for big and small, scared and energic, lap and walkers. It's been a fun experience always. I got into cat sitting when I started college. Since then, I have 2 cats myself now and I love them with my soul. I would be glad to take care of your fur baby. I'll care for them like my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I dogsit in other people's home since I have 2 cats of my own. I found that from your home doggos will bring me to the route they prefer. Though my cats are easy going with small or medium dogs. If you're comfortable I can bring them with me on other walks, my home or hikes for more exercise.
Ratings and reviews
Darling has helped us out a few times and she’s always super responsible and takes great care of our dogs. We highly recommend her!
Darlina is like a second mom to my dogs, and they are not pushovers! She knows just how to handle our sensitive rescue dog and also our elderly corgi. We can always leave for a few days and know that they are in good hands.
Darlina was fantastic with our dog, Max. She asked a lot of great questions ahead of time and that assured us that she would accommodate Max’s needs. Once Max was in her care we were more than happy that she was able to help out because she was consistent in her check-ins and provided thorough communication. She got to know his schedule and his needs quickly and that showed in her updates to us. Very appreciative of her service.
Darlina was amazing with our dogs! We received multiple updates a day from her with lots of pictures. We were so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for fur babies. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
This was our first time using a sitter for our dogs, and to say we were nervous is an understatement. We had so many rules, preferences, and expectations — and Darlina exceeded every single one of them. She sent frequent updates (without me having to ask!), shared tons of adorable photos, and followed our feeding and medication schedules to the letter. We have a senior dog and two others, and she cared for all of them over the weekend with so much love and attention. The moment we got home, our senior dog came downstairs — and instead of coming to us, she went straight to her. That told me everything I needed to know about the care and connection she provided. Darlina is incredibly sweet and communicative. She checked in with me multiple times before the stay and even came by a few days in advance just to walk the dogs with me and help them get comfortable with her before we left. This was truly the best first experience we could have ever asked for. Thank you so much, Darlina, for treating our pups like your own! We have found our regular sitter!
Darlina just spent 4 days watching our home and our two dogs, one of whom is insecure and reactive to other dogs on walks. Darlina handles her so well and she genuinely cares about the feelings that underly those reactions. We completely trust Darlina - she allows us to leave home with peace of mind.
