I’ll get your pup's tail wagging!😆

Pet care experience

I have had dogs throughout my entire life, and my recent experience caring for my dog who suffered from Intervertebral Disc Disease has given me valuable knowledge and skills in caring for dogs with special needs. My furbaby passed away a few weeks ago. Although I am still grieving the loss of my beloved pet and not ready for one of my own yet, I have a lot of love and attention to give to other furbabies. I am committed to providing excellent care for dogs in my care, including regular exercise, I will take your pup to the park every day, and provide playtime, feeding, and any necessary medication or treatment. With my experience and dedication, you can trust that your dog will receive the best possible care.

Darline is very professional, caring and accommodating. She lives with her family in a nice house for taking care of a dog. She communicates easily and promptly. Our dog had a great time. My wife and I were very pleased with Darline and her care of our dog. We will definitely ask Darline to take care of our dog again. Thanks Darline

Darline was an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took plenty of adorable pictures and gave constant updates on how Vespa was doing, and our dog barely wanted to leave at the end of our trip!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when it comes to caring for your furry family members. I understand that leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be stressful, which is why I take the time to build a personal relationship with each client and their pet. I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment for your furbaby, whether they are staying with me in my home or I am visiting them in yours. From properly securing your furbaby during transport to administering medication with precision, I have the knowledge and expertise to handle any situation that may arise.

Information Darline R. would like to know about your pet

- Medication and special needs: If your dog requires medication or has any other special needs, please let me know ahead of time so I can provide the necessary care. I have experience administering medication and can ensure your dog receives their medication on time and in the proper dosage. - Special behaviors and habits: Every dog is unique, and it's important for me to know about your dog's individual habits and behaviors. This includes any fears or anxieties they may have. - Feeding and dietary requirements: I want to ensure your dog receives the proper nutrition during their stay, so please let me know about their feeding schedule and dietary restrictions.

A typical day

A typical day with me will be full of fun and activity for your furry friend. We can go to the park to enjoy some fresh air and stretch our legs. I’ll make sure your pup gets his exercise and motivation going. After a good walk and play session, we'll head back home for some more playtime. With plenty of toys to choose from, your dog will never get bored. I believe in the importance of physical activity and mental stimulation for dogs, so I will make sure to provide plenty of opportunities for both. Or simply cuddling on the couch, your dog will get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Enjoy your vacation while your pup enjoys his or her vacation!
