Safety, trust & environment

In pet sitting, caring for animals in our home revolves around ensuring safety, building trust, and maintaining a healthy environment. Safety is prioritized by pet-proofing the area, securing hazardous items, and having an emergency plan in place. Trust is built through consistent routines and positive interactions, allowing pets to feel comfortable and secure in unfamiliar settings. Additionally, the environment is kept clean and enriched with safe toys and activities, using non-toxic products to promote well-being. By focusing on these key aspects, pet sitters can provide a nurturing and safe experience that caters to the individual needs of each pet.

Allergies, aggression such as when eating, toys, etc., get along with other pets and kids, housebroken, crate trained, vet info, sleep habits, and any important medical history.

Ball and frisbee throwing, and mind-stimulating games. Plenty of dog walking trails, reiterating training commands, yard play, either alone or with other pets. If they are athletic, maybe short runs.

A Pet's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

We are a Marine Corps family that has taken care of pets over the last twenty years. Our daughter is a true animal lover and adores all types of pets. Your pet will get just as much attention as it would get at home. Someone is usually always home, so our schedule is flexible. We can do drop-off during the day as early as 7:00 am and as late as 6:00 pm during the week. We are available for boarding on weekends as well. Again, we are flexible and will try our best to accommodate your schedule. We have three friendly dogs that will keep your pet company and two cats that stay to themselves. Your pet can be crated when needed or desired. It can also be separated from other pets if needed by providing them with a separate and private location. Currently, I work from home, so I rarely leave the house unless there is a need. So, with my schedule, I have great flexibility, and your wonderful pet(s) will never be neglected. We have a fenced yard where your pet(s) can run and play. We also have a nice patio if they prefer to lay in the sun. My schedule is flexible since I currently work from home. With that said, I have plenty of time to ensure your pets get the attention they need. I am also available for boarding on weekends. Our priority is a safe and friendly environment. We have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep them company. If your wonderful pet(s) prefer privacy, they can easily be separated in another location within the house.

Darnell has some really nice cars and even nicer Dogs that played with my Drogo and Fuzzy and made new friends. Even though they were there for a brief time they came back happy and healthy. Will def recommend and use Darnell baby sitting services again.

Cooper had a great time with Darnell and family! Darnell is very responsive and it's comforting to know Cooper is being well cared for while we are out of town!

Darnell was outstanding! He was personable and responsive which put me (fur baby parent) at ease. He was also flexible and accommodating to my fur baby who needed some extra up close time.

Mr. Darnell was professional and provided constant communication from booking until pick-up. Very confident Bruno was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely book again and strongly recommend. Thank you.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
