Pet care experience

Animals are my life!

I go above and beyond. I also bath them if needed. I’ve groomed them if needed. I will abide by rules you give me. If they stay overnight,they will have their own pillow to lay their heads on. I’m not afraid of pet”accidents” Picking up poo does not faze me. I f needed,I will sing them to sleep. I’ve been called Dr. Doolittle. We all need to realize,pets live to make us happy. They deserve as much respect as humans. I grew up with pets my whole life. As of January 22, we lost our 12 1/2 yr old Boxer,Vegas. I’m not ready for another yet. I hope I see a pet everyday. If so,my day is complete. I care for all animals as if they were my own. Due to a recent situation,I can only watch dogs,that get along with other dogs. They don’t need to be buddies,but,must be peaceful with other dogs. I take 1-5 dogs ! My 17 year old son is my second hand ❣️

We felt very comfortable leaving our senior dog with Darrilyn. She spent time getting to know Benny at ghe meet and greet and wanted to see how he interacted with other dogs she was caring for. She was responsive to our messages and sent picture updates during his stay.

This was my first time using Darrilyn to board my dog. I chose her based on her star sitter status and the positive reviews, as well as her accommodations, which include a fenced back yard. I'm happy to say the ratings and reviews are accurate! I think the amount of communication/pictures were just right and the drop-off and pick-up went smoothly. I will definitely use Darrylin again.
