About Darnell M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take care of and pay special attention to my clients home. As not to disturb their lifestyle, which I view with zero judgment! I'm only there for however many little ones need my attention. If you would like me to make sure your home is secure however feel free to let me know.
Information Darnell M. would like to know about your pet
When we get in contact with one another I'll be sure to ask about any and all medical issues or unique quirks our little guys and gals may have. And if there's anything you want to add or address please let me know! I'll double and triple check with you as necessary if needed to keep your little ones happy and healthy.
A typical day
Upon arriving to your wonderful homes or locales I'll be conducting Doggy/Kitty Duty. Which would be checking them out to see if they're physically/mentally okay, then showering them with love and attention! Afterwards we'll be preparing for our day, with proper safety harnesses, collars and whatever other accessories needed. Locking up your home if necessary and moving out on a route and area that's been verified and agreed upon by you lovely owners and I. Of course the details like time, distance and pace of a walking depend on the age, breed and health of our companions, so these will vary from session to session along and/or conduct whatever activities you the owner leaves as instructed. With that fun squared away we'd be safely heading home. With a drop-in the day wouldn't start any differently, and on top of the other priorities stated I'd check on their food and water, to refill if applicable. Prescribing medicine as needed as well as checking whatever other points of interest given by you, the homeowners. With playtime and TLC, I'll be there for whatever time agreed upon by us and will leave your home as clean as I found it! All the while snapping photos, sending you updates and videos to make sure that there are no issues or surprises we can avoid.

Pet care experience
I'm 37 now, but since I was a child I've helped raise animals of all shapes and sizes. Some by myself, one of which is my very best and closest friend Percy, my dog. Had him since he was a pup. Actually turned 12 this year so I guess he's not a baby anymore! I've also taken care of 4 large dogs at once and 4 mixed sized dogs with cats as well for months on end so I don't see any issues occurring with your pets and I. I love to walk as it's fun for all involved and making sure they're fed, safe and happy are always my top priorities. As a disabled veteran of the US Army I can't do much of what I've done to make ends meet anymore. This gives me ample time to do what I love most, sitting. Added to the fact that this provides exercise and financial improvement, these bonuses for getting a bit of my life and happiness back is priceless. When visiting for a drop-in I'll only be moving where's absolutely necessary for conducting my tasks while there. Your privacy is held in the highest regards. I'll also take proper care of whatever equipment you have( leashes, collars, etc.,) and make sure that things are placed back where they were before I got there.

Reviews



Darnell did great with my fur babies. They were well taken care of, and allowed me a peaceful getaway.

Darnell was super kind, responsive and great with Shepard! We plan to request more sitting in the future!

Darnell was great feeding my gecko while I was away during the holidays. He understood my concerns about him escaping.

Best dog sitter ever
