Availability
My role as a stay-at-home mom provides me with great scheduling flexibility, ensuring I can be available when your pet needs care. Over the last 25 years, I've looked after many different animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and more!). I enjoy being active and look forward to tailoring my care to perfectly suit your furry family member.

About Darnelle H.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm always watchful on our walks, keeping an eye out for anything that could be a hazard for your pup. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family, receiving my complete focus and loving care. I'm also totally flexible with updates – just let me know how often you'd like to hear about our adventures!"
Information Darnelle H. would like to know about your pet
To ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe, could you share any special needs or particular behaviors I should be aware of? I'm committed to adapting my care to suit them as much as possible.
A typical day
I customize every walk to suit your dog's individual needs and energy levels. I believe walks are crucial for mental stimulation, so I encourage plenty of sniffing and exploration, often letting your dog 'lead the way' if they wish. Playtime with toys can be included, and with your permission, I can use approved treats for fun, positive reinforcement training moments, especially if they're food-motivated.

Pet care experience
Beyond my own beloved pets, I've truly cherished the opportunities over the years to help care for my friends' animals. Taking them for walks or park outings has always been a pleasure, and I consistently form a strong bond, treating them as if they were part of my own family during our time together.
Reviews

Darnelle always takes such great care of my pets!! She sends the best pics as well 10/10 per usual

We reached out to Darnelle very very last minute and she responded quickly to come to our rescue! Darnelle was communicative, sent great pics and it looked like our pup had a great walk. We will reach out to Darnelle again for sure!

Darnelle always takes good care of Cooper. Pictures are great and she always seems happy in them. Highly recommend!

Lovely friendly person who was very communicative and took great care of the pooch! Thank you!
