Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog caregiver, and I truly understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family member. I'm currently a proud pet parent to two high-energy dogs, so I know firsthand how to keep pups engaged, exercised, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, tug-of-war, or just some good belly rubs, I'm here to give them the attention they deserve.I work a traditional 9–5 job, but I’m flexible and can schedule around that to make sure your dog is well cared for during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care that fit comfortably around my work hours, ensuring your pup gets the love and attention they deserve! Let's set up a meet and greet, and hopefully had your pup to my extended family!

De'Ara went above and beyond! She took extra careful consideration with our pets and went out of the way for us. I felt so at ease thanks to her communication and pictures. She was even conscientious with our house. Thank you De'Ara!

Absolutely phenomenal! De' ara G. went above and beyond in every possible way while watching Ares and looking after my home. Leaving your dog and your household behind can always be a bit stressful, but I was completely at ease knowing De'Ara G. was in charge. They didn't just meet the basic requirements—they truly gave Ares top-tier care, attention, and exercise. On top of that, they took incredible care of the household, keeping everything clean, secure, and organized. I came home to a happy, well-loved dog and a spotless house. If you are looking for someone who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares, look no further. I will absolutely be hiring De'Ara G. again!
