Because Details Matter

With over 15 years of experience caring for animals through personal ownership, private pet sitting, and professional in-home care, I provide thoughtful, dependable care centered around each pet's individual routine and personality. Caring for your pet also means caring for your home. I understand the trust involved in handing someone your keys, your routines, and your family members, so I approach every booking with professionalism, discretion, and close attention to detail. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide the level of presence many pets truly benefit from. Whether your companion needs daytime check-ins, overnight companionship, medication support, or extra supervision due to age, anxiety, or recovery, I intentionally schedule my calendar so every household receives attentive, personalized care.

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet receives care tailored to their personality, comfort level, and energy—not a one-size-fits-all routine. Dogs may enjoy decompression walks, backyard play, enrichment activities, relaxed companionship, or simply quiet time together depending on what they naturally enjoy. High-energy dogs receive appropriate physical and mental stimulation, while senior or sensitive pets receive slower-paced care focused on comfort and confidence. Cats receive individualized attention just as much as dogs, whether that's interactive play, brushing, enrichment, window watching, or simply respectful companionship on their own terms. Between activities, I prioritize maintaining the normal rhythm of your household. Cleanliness, home security, and careful observation are just as important as feeding schedules and walks. My goal is for your pets to feel completely settled while you're away.

Darrian was super attentive, professional, and caring for my pup. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a sitter that’s kind and personable with your pets. She communicates effectively with any updates. Remi loves her!!

Darrian was wonderful. She was very understanding of my dog and her timid personality. I felt awful that she had to clean up after my dog when she went potty on the carpet, but she always made sure everything was clean. And I appreciate her help so much. My cats can also be a handful, but she took great care of them. She was very communicative and fast with responses. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Darrian did a wonderful job taking care of Bean. She was very communicative and sent me good pictures of my buddy! He was very happy and well fed when I got home.

Schedule

I live a quiet, home-centered lifestyle that naturally complements overnight care, extended stays, senior pets, puppies, and companions who simply do best with someone present throughout the day. Rather than maximizing the number of bookings I accept, I intentionally limit my schedule so each household receives consistent attention, dependable communication, and personalized care from start to finish. I specialize in private, in-home care for pet owners who value consistency, thoughtful communication, and a calm, dependable presence. My approach focuses on preserving your pet's normal routine while respecting your home with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Whether you're away overnight or traveling for an extended period, my goal is to provide the kind of care that allows you to leave with genuine peace of mind.

The more I know before your booking, the more confidently I can care for your pet. I welcome detailed instructions because every pet—and every household—is different. Before we begin, I like to understand: • Daily routines, including feeding schedules, walks, potty habits, and sleeping arrangements • Medical conditions, medications, allergies, or mobility needs • Personality traits, fears, anxieties, or behavioral triggers • Comfort level with strangers, children, other animals, and any interaction preferences • Veterinary information, emergency contacts, and emergency procedures • Household preferences or routines you'd like maintained while you're away Thoughtful preparation allows me to anticipate your pet's needs instead of simply reacting to them. The goal is for your companion to experience as little disruption as possible—and for you to leave knowing every important detail has already been considered.
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.
