Doggy Day Care • May 13, 2026

Our dogs are still puppies — not fully potty trained and definitely very energetic — so caring for them can be challenging, especially in a new environment. Rover was really our last chance to attend an important family event, and we are incredibly grateful to Darline and Richard for taking on this not-so-easy task with such kindness and patience. Charlie and Ellie were very well cared for and came home happy and safe. We truly appreciated the updates, care, and understanding they received. We’ll keep working on potty training and calmer behavior as they grow, but we could not have asked for more compassionate sitters. Thank you again!

Boarding • Apr 13, 2026

I booked a trip last minute - Darlene was extremely accommodating with timing and took great care of our dog Bear! She took amazing pictures, had a yard for the dog to play in, and made me feel reassured about leaving our dog in her care. I will definitely rebook if I am back in the area!

Darline is a very kindhearted person. I know firsthand that Darline will treat your beloved pooch with all the love, care, and affection that you could hope for, just as she does to her own sweet Mini Golden Doodle, Brownie. Darline and her husband make a great team as well as her husband will also treat your dog with the same love and care that Darline will.

Darline is one of the most caring people I know. She absolutely loves my dog Brody like her own and is always right on top of everything! Her communication is wonderful and her dog brownie is a joy to be around! Overall couldn’t recommend Darline and her family more! Such wonderful people who will take amazing care of your pup! I am so thankful I met Darline !

I can’t recommend Darline enough as a pet sitter. She absolutely adores her own dog and takes the best care of them, you can truly see how much love and attention she puts into everything she does. She’s responsible, dependable, and treats pets like family. I would trust her more than anyone to watch any pet I have. Anyone who chooses her can feel completely confident their pet will be safe, loved, and very well cared for♥️

I may be a little biased because she’s my wife, but I get to see firsthand how deeply she cares for every pet she watches she treats them like they’re her own with patients love and so much attention. The joy she gets from caring for animals is real and it shows and everything she does. As her husband, I see the dedication. She brings to pet care every single day. She is responsible dependable, and incredibly attentive to each pets unique needs any pet parent can feel completely confident, leaving their furry family member in her care.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally with a lot of sniffing and playing ball tug-of-war and chasing each other around the yard! We can take them to the park and get all the new sniffs!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requests or anything that would bring your dog more comfort. I will be happy to oblige. I would request that they are hypoallergenic as my husband and I have strong allergies.
