A typical day

I'm a lover of pet snuggles! Of course following all house rules for furniture and beds, I love being with the critters and having them close to me. The closer the better! I also love brushing the ones who like it. I don't know who has more fun with fetching me or the dogs!

Never Met a Pet I Didn't Like

Pet care experience

I've been a pet parent for almost all of my adult like. I love all dogs and friendly affectionate cats. I always follow parent rules but love to spoil the critters I sit with.

Darin (Richard) is the most sincere, responsible, pet loving person that I know. He takes care of our fur baby when we go out of town, and we have utter peace of mind. We are free to call or message him while we are gone and he gives updates so we can rest easy. Our little guy just loves him, and is excited to welcome him back as part of his people whenever he comes! 10/10 recommend!

Richard Darin Hollingsworth will love your pet like it is his very own while your furry friend is in his care. He is a loving, conscientious individual whom you can trust with those who are dear to you. His integrity is above reproach, and he is an easy guest to have in your home while you are away (No bad habits like drinking, drugs, smoking). I can highly recommend him as an individual to stand in for you while you are away.

I’ve known Darin for over 25 years working with him closely as a colleague in the non profit world. To be transparent, he is not only a professional colleague but a dear friend. Our two pups (a lab and golden) adore him when he stays with them. He is trustworthy, loving, kind, organized and dependable. He knows dogs and has a genuine affection for them. You can’t go wrong with this amazing human.

If you're looking for a sitter who truly understands that your pet is family, Darin is the perfect choice! He cares for each client with the same devotion that he bestows upon his own beloved pup. Darin is beyond reliable, going the extra mile to spend quality time with the pets and share updates that will put your mind at ease that your fur-baby is in the best of hands. I would trust Darin without hesitation in my home, with my belongings, and with my most precious dogs and cats.
