Pet care experience

Decades of pet care experience!

I've been caring for other people's pets for over 35 years! Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, goats, and horses — often for multi-night stays while owners were away for work or vacation. When I lived in Colorado, clients loved sharing my name with friends and coworkers, and there were times I had to turn people away just to avoid being double-booked! I'm comfortable giving medications orally (pill or syringe) and by injection, so pets with medical needs are in good hands. I've also been there for some of the harder moments — including, with a client's blessing, taking their beloved dog for euthanasia while they were out of state. And on the sweeter side, I once had the joy of being present at the birthing of a litter of newborn Huskies, and one of those little ones ended up staying with me for 14 wonderful years. 🐾 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏾

Safety, trust & environment

We have a small, fenced yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood where people walk their dogs on leash, so your fur baby will get exercise and stim. We also like to visit off-leash dog parks.

Daryl is fantastic! He cared for our cat while we were away on our first big vacation after adopting our cat. Daryl is very quick to respond and thoughtful. We greatly appreciate the amazing care he took of our girl. We can't recommend him enough!

We could not have been happier with our experience with Daryl! Willie was happy as he could be and I know he received tons of snuggles and had the best day with Daryl. Thank you so much for making our boy feel comfy and safe!

It was my first time using Rover, and I seriously lucked out with booking with Daryl to take care of my baby. If you’re in search of a sitter, I highly recommend. He’s flexible and updates quickly, I felt more at peace having him come by and play with the cat!

Daryl was wonderful !!! We returned to a happy and healthy pup and it was clear that she had a good time. I was very pleased with the level of care and attentiveness. And, she now has a new best friend ! We will be using his services again in the future.
