Caring for your Pet like my own

My own pet a Viszla named Buddy passed away recently. I raised and trained him since puppyhood to be a 'buddy' who accompanied my daughter and I everywhere in life: home, work, socials, etc. I miss him very much and hope to have a chance to provide the care and 'love' to your 'buddy' when your away that he or she needs.

Darrick boarded our high-energy dog & shy kitty for a few days. I was nervous to leave them but quickly put to ease based off the updates that they had settled in nicely. Darrick took great care of them & made sure our dog had the exercise he needed.

Darrick is awesome and I would 100% recommend his to anyone who is seeking a professional, dependable dog caregiver who has real love for our pets! Our dog and I had a meet with Darrick in his home before he accepted my request. That went well and smoothly. On 1st day of dog caring, Darrick notified me about his observations of our dog's dieting issue & sleeping symptoms and a skin problem (very detail oriented caregiver)! On last night of our dog's stay, Darrick even used his own over the counter product to treat our dog's ear infection when our dog's ears started to bother him a lot. Our dog has chronical ear infection problem. It turned out that Darrick is a scientist! No wonder he could understand and explained me the functions of our dog's 2 existing ear infection medicines and why he recommended his OTC product to treat our dog's ear infection. I really appreciate for Darrick's treatment and recommendation about this product. Also, Darrick lives in a ranch house (and in a quiet neighborhood). His 1 floor house is very friendly to our 13 yr old dog's troubled legs. Again, I highly recommend Darrick to anyone who is looking for a dog caregiver. Thank you Darrick very much for taking great care of our dog in the past 1 week!

Darrick was fantastic to work with! Meet n greet went smoothly, day care was easy and hassle free, and our sweet boy was taken such good care of while we enjoyed a night out. Hope to book again lots in the future!!

Darrick and Jill were fantastic hosts! My dog Max was well cared for and Darrick pointed out the his dewclaws needed trimming when I picked him up. I would not hesitate to book with Darrick and Jill in the future and recommend them 100%!

I have a ranch-style home that doesn't have a lot of yard but is in a community with lots of walking, numerous pocket parks, other outdoor amenities and is close to the American Tobacco Trail.

A typical day

Weather permitting I like to take your pet outside for a walk or to play fetch or chase. If appropriate for your pet, I know of some areas suitable for independent off leash play. I would like you to bring some of your pet’s bedding, favorite toys and treats. I enjoy teaching and can work to improve or reinforce your training upon request.
