Pet care experience

Lover of dog cuddles and coffee!

Hello everyone! I’m a 27 year old who loves to play lots of different sports and spend time with my family! I grew up with dogs and cats in the house and over the last few years I’ve started watching animals for some of the families I knew in the area.. I love going for walks with dogs, cuddling with them and letting them be outside as much as they would like! I’ve taken care of dogs with complicated food prep and animals who take pills in both the am and pm along with medical injections. So i feel very comfortable with whatever needs or requests you may have for your pet. Having lost my dog a few year ago I can promise that I will love on your pet no matter what because I know they are like your children :)

Safety, trust & environment

I am very comfortable with walking dogs, crating dogs during the day or night if requested by owner. And have no problem with a fenced yard for just needing a leash every time.

We’ve booked Darra multiple times for housesitting while going out if state. Our dog Henry is very particular about who he likes, and tough with new people but he loves Darra and has since the beginning. We will definitely be having her take care of our dogs again in the next trip we go on!

We had Darra stay at our house for a week and watch our English Mastiff Tyson. Our dog is very shy but Darra sent pics while we were away, and from the pics, you could tell he felt safe and loved. We had no issues, the communication was great, and we would recommend her to anyone!

Darra did an exceptional job taking care of our two doodles while away for a long weekend! She sent updates at least once a day and was very respectful of our home. Will be booking again for any future needs if she’s available!
