Pet care experience

Let me love your fur babies!

I've had a number of animals since the age of 4. From birds, and fish to Cats, dogs, and rabbits! I have always had a cat or dog in my home and I LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have house sat & boarded pets for 8 years now for friends, family, and neighbors. I treat them like my own and ensure that they're fed, get walked, lots of rubs, and everything I can to keep their usual routine! I'm currently not working and want to do something I love to stay busy. I have an open schedule to handle all your pets needs. I stay in a very spacious 3 bedroom home with yard space where they have plenty of room to roam. There are also parks near to release their energy.

Dog Walking • Aug 05, 2026

Darlyn came through at 11 pm while I am going through the hardest time of my life with a parent on life support as of a few hours prior. She was kind and compassionate to me. Asked all about my dog's care. Then today. The visits went wonderfully. Especially the second, when my dog warmed up out of her shy nature a bit. Darlyn sent videos and I do believe my dog is in love with Darlyn now! It provides me with such peace of mind while I am sitting in the hospital. You don't find this kind of service anywhere. Darlyn is truly one of a kind and I'd encourage anyone reading this to hire her!

Boarding • Nov 10, 2022

Darlyn is a wonderful lady and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our family's dog Zola during a wedding and kept in touch regularly. She made sure Zola ate on time and kept up with her medications. Or family is so appreciative of Darlyn. I would board with her again in the future.

Schedule

I currently have an open schedule. I always update my schedule to reflect any changes. I am very flexible at the moment. Once I have a pet job in place I try to focus on the pet/pets.

Safety, trust & environment

It honestly depends on the animal. Different animals react differently with new people and different environments. If there's a shy dog, I like to let them come to me and lead with a gentle and dismissive approach. I would encourage them to play or come for pets, but I would not force it because that is not their comfort level. Another may be a big ball of energy and thrive on fun, pets, and praise. I like to make sure they're comfortable and happy.

Pets

A typical day

I play with the dogs and cats, I keep a variety of toys. I take them on walks, or to dog parks depending on the weather. If it's ok with the owner I get the fur babies a treat or maybe a pup cup for being good. I try not to keep animals in their crates unless requested by their owner. If they stay over I give them rubs and cuddles to make sure their comfortable and feel loved!
