A Pet’s Paradise

We love having Darlene to take care of our pets. They are always happy and healthy when we get home.

Darlene is such a gem and we are lucky we found her! I highly recommend her to pet parents who are looking for a loving, caring pet sitter. Our cat has FeLV and can’t go to a boarding facility, so the only option for us was to have a pet sitter come visit him at home while we were gone for a few days. When she came for her complementary meet and greet, she was prepared with information about herself and her business, including references, insurance and bonding information, pet first aid certificate and history. I loved how prepared and professional she was. She took a lot of time getting to know our cat and learning about his needs and routines. Never once did I get the feeling she wanted to rush things or she wasn’t interested.
A few days before we left town, we received a call from Darlene to confirm the pet sit dates. I really liked that and gave me the warm and fuzzies!
While we were away, she sent us a pretty detailed email about how everything was going, including how he was eating, playing and using the litter box. It added a nice touch and made us feel really good.
When we arrived back home, we found a report card and a long note, detailing his behaviors during the visits. It showed that Darlene didn’t just throw food at him and left. Instead the note described how our cat had warmed up to her with little gestures I know only he does. I also loved that she requested a call to a voice mail box, no matter the hour, to let her know that we made it home and our cat wasn’t alone the next day. Otherwise she would have continued her visits which I think is AMAZING!
We missed out cat terribly, but knowing he was cared for with a lot of love made our trip so much more special. We all enjoyed meeting Darlene and I hope others will too.

I have use Darlene for 7 years and am very happy with her record of care. I have had cats with special needs and I can rest easy knowing my four legged loved ones get the care they need.

We have used Darlene’s services for several years to look after our 3 cats when we are gone. It gives us great peace of mind to know that Darlene is taking the best care of them and our house. You get a detailed report when you return, and she makes sure you get back as scheduled so your pets are never left unattended.
We are the type of people that are not comfortable with others being in our home when we are not there, but we trust Darlene implicitly.
We are so happy she provides this service and at a reasonable cost !

Darlene is a great petsitter, thoroughly professional, loves our cats, and is completely reliable. We’ve used her for the past seven years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with her. I highly recommend Darlene to anyone who needs the service of a professional petsitter.
