Pet care experience

Responsible & Fun Pet/Housesitter

I've taken care of pets for about 10 years, with friends and family often entrusting me with their animals and homes in their absence. I have taken care of adult dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, dogs needing medication, and cats. With proper instruction, I am confident I could care for other animals as well! When I look after animals, I am always in communication with the owners to make sure everyone feels comfortable during the stay. When I'm looking after homes, I am happy to provide any help around the house - watering plants, lawncare, snow shoveling, etc. I

Safety, trust & environment

At your home, I can accommodate whatever need the pet may have. I am very active and enjoy being outside, so I am happy to walk dogs as much or as little as needed. We can do excursions as well. At my home, I have a small backyard, but also a very walkable neighborhood to get the pup some more exercise.

Darrin did a great job sitting my high energy pup. He followed all the instructions for routine, medicine, food etc and I came home to a happy dog and cleaner house than I left. I got routine updates and he even helped me fix the water pressure in my kitchen sink. Wonderful dog and house sitter, I would use his services again.

Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!

We miss Darrin! He watched our two dogs and house in Philadelphia many times before he moved to Colorado. We have a really shy dog and Darrin bonded with him which was a huge relief. He was really flexible with our changing schedules and always communicative. Our house was cared for, plants watered, and dogs were always happy and playing. It was always nice to know everything was in order while we were away and we didn't have to worry about anything. Couldn't ask for more.

Darrin has helped us with our dog Nala since she was a puppy and he's been wonderful! We always recommend him to our neighbors and friends. Nala gets so excited when he comes by to walk her, he's probably her favorite person. She is very high energy and Darrin runs her around and takes her out on fun hikes. Rover is perfect for someone like Darrin and we were happy to hear that he's gotten on this platform.

Darrin has taken care of my home and dog several times, and he will definitely be my go-to in the future. He sent many updates throughout each stay, and my dog absolutely loved him and had a blast. They went on walks and hikes, and Darrin made sure to be diligent of my pup's specialized diet. My home was in immaculate condition each time I arrived home (much better than when I left it!). 10/10 for Darrin and I'd trust him completely with any of those needs going forward. Highly recommend!

I'd like to know how the dog reacts to other animals (if we are on a walk or out-and-about) and what accommodates they may need. It is also helpful to have an idea of how much activity they enjoy.
