Pet care experience
I am an active, young professional with flexibility in my schedule. I'm available to stay over in your home, check-in with your pup, and take him or her for walks/runs. I love dogs with a passion and grew up with them in my home. My experience comes from living with dogs in my family growing up. I would love to get together with you and discuss exactly what your pup needs and enjoys so that I can provide the best care possible while you're away or unavailable. I consider myself dependable, reliable and responsible. I am a social worker, and I currently work at the University of Utah as one of the Sexual Assault Support Advocates. My background is in case management at a domestic violence/sexual assault emergency shelter. I am also currently pursuing my Masters in Social Work so that I can become a mental health practitioner. Taking care of people and living beings runs in my blood and sits in my bones. I have a passion for helping others feel valued, loved, and safe. I would love the opportunity to spend time caring for your pup! If you are requesting a sitting service in your home, please provide information regarding taking care of your home and security information, as well as emergency contact information and your pet's veterinarian contact information.
Reviews
We've had so many friends and family watch our dogs and it always feels like an imposition so we decided to try out a dog sitter. We booked with Darrah and the level of attention she gave our dogs was above and beyond what we could have expected from even a boarding facility. Honestly, she had so much of a warm, friendly, and caring personality that there was a part of me that worried she was too good to be true, but she is most definitely the real deal.
We found Darrah to be patient, well versed in dog behavior and of high integrity. She was dependable and always happy to be helping out.
Darrah is highly intelligent, trustworthy, energetic, compassionate and is well suited to anticipating problems before they arise. All these are the qualities we require when needing a friend and companion for our dog. When we are away or working long hours we rest assured that all is well with our little guy. We are the fortunate ones, as she was able to fit us in as one of her clients.
Darrah is just incredible with my pets. My dog lights up whenever he sees her and comes home happy and exhausted after Darrah takes him running. My cat adores her, too. She's always all a-purr when Darrah snuggles her. Darrah is responsible, enthusiastic, and unbelievably kind. She is exactly who I want to leave my pets with when I can't be with them---and I'm super picky.

Skills
Information Darrah J. would like to know about your pet
I would love to get a general idea of your dog's personality before sitting him or her. It would be great to know their age and activities that they enjoy, or that help them feel properly loved and cared for. I would also like as much information as possible regarding their food, potty break needs, medication, grooming, and sleep needs so that I can provide the best care for your pup. Any training or command information will also be useful in ensuring the best possible experience! I look forward to meeting you!
A typical day
Walking and/or running in local parks and neighborhoods! Snuggles and cuddles if your dog is a fan. Frisbee and other toy-related play! I can provide basic grooming (bathing/cleaning). I can administer medication to pets. I'm also willing to try new things if your dog enjoys an activity I have not listed.
