Pet care experience

I’ll get your pup's tail wagging!😆

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 took great care of our Mini Aussie (Bentley) while we were away. She provided regular updates and photos while also making sure he was safe and having fun during his stay! It looks like he had more fun than he even has at home! Look forward to booking with Darline again.

We were so worried to leave our kittens for the first time when we had to travel for an event. Darline was absolutely amazing. She took great care of them, provided regular updates and photos so we knew they were well cared for, and even gave us the flexibility and peace of mind when flight delays caused us to be over 6 hours late to pick them. Great experience and came home to two very happy kitties. Highly recommend Darline!

Darlene is the best. I left my puppy with her & it was the first time I had left him. From the moment I met her I knew he would be in good hands. She sent me many updates, pictures, and videos and he just looked so happy!! Highly recommend!!

As a dedicated psychology and criminal justice student taking online classes, at the moment I am unemployed and have the flexibility to provide one-on-one care for your furry friend. With no other pets to distract me, your furbaby will receive my undivided attention and enjoy a vacation of their own in a safe and loving environment. You can relax on your own vacation knowing your furry family member is in the best possible hands with me.

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.

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!
