About Darla

I’m an experienced and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, so I understand that every pup has their own unique needs and routine.

I offer five types of care to best suit you and your pet:

🐾 Dog Boarding at My Home

Your dog can stay in my home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. I provide a cozy, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. Pets are supervised throughout the day, and I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure so they can safely enjoy their time here. I also follow your pet’s usual routine, including mealtimes, bathroom breaks, medication, exercise, and any special comfort needs.

🏠 Dog Sitting at Your Home

If your pup is more comfortable staying in their own familiar space, I also offer in home sitting. I’ll take care of feeding, walking, playing, bathroom breaks, and giving them all the love and attention they need while you’re away. This can be a great option for dogs who feel more comfortable in their own environment.

🐶 Doggy Day Care

Your dog will spend the day in my home receiving lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’ll follow their normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, and rest routine while keeping a close eye on them throughout the day. My goal is for them to feel comfortable, safe, and included as part of the family.

🏡 One Home Visit a Day

My home visits are perfect for pets who are most comfortable staying in their own homes while their owners are away. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has everything they need, including fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide about feeding, routines, medications, or special needs. I’ll also make sure doors are properly secured when I leave and treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

🐕 Dog Walking

I offer 30 minute dog walks designed to give your pup fresh air, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I’ll pick your dog up from your home and take them on a safe and comfortable walk at a pace that suits their age, size, and energy level. I pay close attention to their behaviour and comfort throughout the walk. Whether your dog loves an energetic walk or prefers a slower stroll with lots of sniffing, I’ll make sure they have an enjoyable experience before safely bringing them home.

❤️ Safety & Emergencies

Your pet’s safety is always my priority. I provide attentive supervision and never knowingly leave a pet in an unsafe situation. Before a stay or visit, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, triggers, medications, allergies, and any special instructions. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I would contact you right away and seek appropriate veterinary care if necessary, while keeping you updated throughout the situation.

Why choose me?

• Experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs
• Loving, responsible, and dependable care
• Safe, clean, and pet-friendly home environment
• Close supervision and attention throughout the day
• Daily updates, photos, and communication so you feel connected
• Flexible scheduling for short or long stays
• I take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality and routine

My goal is always to give your dog a safe, fun, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved while you’re away. 🐾
