“My fur baby recently spent five nights with Darlene and her husband and I will only use them in the future. They took care of him like he was one of their own, and sent me daily pictures and videos. They have the perfect setup both in their home and outside for play. I highly recommend if you are looking for pet care.”
Barbara Johnston
“Darlene was very good with my older dog. She sent me photos every day, she even bathed him before I picked him up and put a bow tie on him.
Thank you Darlene, we will definitely hire you again”
Kellie
“Darlene is an amazing dog sitter and dog lover!! She’s been taking care of our dogs for almost 10 years and she really is a true gem! She provides frequent updates and photos and also is willing to go the extra mile, when your pup needs extra attention or care. We also love that she has a huge property with lots of space for the dogs. Thank you Darlene!!”
