Every dogs loves me so far 😂

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since i was 8 years old. I use to have my own dog named Troy but due to work i have him staying with my aunt. I’m a medic for the navy which leave my morning and early afternoon schedule kinda block. However after 3 o’clock I’m available for anything. I don’t mind last minute request however sending a request in the middle of the night for the following day might not get accepted to i prefer a full day in advance. I try my best to go above and beyond with my dog visit or any type of care that’s request. I tend to take long walks through parks or trails with most of my clients. Since i am military meeting up at my place is difficult so i try to meet in a public place. So it’s safe for both of us.

Darrin was great with our shy rescue and gave him lots of love and playtime while we were away. We appreciated the updates and responsiveness as well. Definitely recommend Darrin!

Darrin was great with my dog. He gave me updates and pictures while I was gone and was very accommodating when my flight was delayed.

Darrin was wonderful. He was very communicative and took great care of my dog. Definitely recommend using him for your pets. He was very sweet with my dog, and kept him active. Overall a great experience!

Darrin was very polite and responsive. He met us at a park and leaned down to pet Miley and she went right up to him and licked his face. He sent plenty of (adorable) photos and updates and Miley looked relaxed and well taken care of. She's been healthy since we've had her home after picking her up. She often comes home anxious, not eating, diarrhea, etc when we leave her at a boarding facility, so we're appreciative of pet sitters on rover who will take one dog at a time, which Darrin was able to accommodate. Definitely recommend Darrin!
