Custom Visits & FREE Glamour Shots

When I was growing up, I woke up every morning to the sounds of some sort of pet feet on the floor; There were cats, dogs, rats, hamsters, birds, reptiles, and everything in between being cared for by myself and my family at some point or another - I guess you could say my love for animals comes honestly! Can't get enough frame-worthy photos of your favorite four-legged kids? ...me either. That must be why I take A TON of pride in photographing your fur-babies and providing some great candid, funny, and of course, debonair shots during my visits - so be sure to have some empty frames on hand, just in case ;) I am comfortable and experienced with a myriad of dog breeds and different animals (please feel free to reach out with special requests!!), and I am happy to provide drop-in's just to visit, feed and cuddle your dog, cats, ferrets, etc. - I am even more pleased to offer a walk or run that is personally catered to your pup - old or young, big or small, and I am fortunate to have plenty of flexibility to do it. Hour-long walks are available upon request, and I can often arrange an even longer extended outing by request, as well - maybe a trip to the park or beach while you have a day-date or a spa day! :) You will also notice that I offer a price break per visit on each pet after the first. If your pet comes to our home, he or she will have access to plenty of space in our large, fenced in backyard. We are also in a very pet-friendly neighborhood for walks, without a lot of traffic. I will only accept one dog per sitting (unless from the same home), to ensure your pet gets the best care and all the spoiling during its stay with us. Please note that the other dog listed on my account is actually my "dog-brother", and he does not reside in our home :) Please reach out with questions about pets other than cats and dogs!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Took amazing care of Hazel — our pup came home happy, spoiled, and maybe even a little sassier! Bonus photoshoot included, and now we’ve got a whole portfolio of our sweet girl looking like she belongs on the cover of Dog Vogue. Highly recommend if you want your dog cared for and turned into a supermodel. 🐾📸✨

So thankful that we found Darrah in time to look after our cat during our 3.5 week vacation. Darrah visited Leche every other day and kept us updated with humorous and informative “report cards” with lots of photos! Will definitely book with Darrah again!

41 to 100 lbs

Darrah can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Before taking your pet out or visiting your home, I would like to be aware of any illnesses, etc. or environmental triggers (are they sensitive to loud noises, do they have a strong prey drive that would cause them to suddenly change directions) that they may have. If your pet will be coming to my home, I just ask that you provide me with all details on behaviors that I should be aware of, just so there are no surprises; we appreciate your pup being potty-trained and well-mannered while they're visiting us!
