  Gino watched my minpin, Sisko, for almost a week, and I could not be happier with the service. Sisko was happy and safe, and I know he had a great time while I was away. I highly recommend this service. Gino even texted photos while I was way, to show me that my dog was doing well. I will definitely be using this service again! Thanks guys!

  We've boarded our puppy with Gino of Aunt Darlene’s twice now. On both occasions, he comes home happy and tired. He never seems overly excited to leave and the last time we picked him up, he gave Gino kisses before we left. Gino is so amazing, with the puppy and with my constanty texting to make sure all was well. We are grateful to have found someone we trust -- it's great peace of mind when you need to leave town. I'd recommend Gino to anyone!

  I just picked up my dog from Gino's house. She had a wonderful time! She played with the other dogs and met lots of new friends. It was great to know she was so well cared for while we were away! I will definitely be using this service again, and would recommend Aunt Darlene's to anyone! THANK YOU!

  Aunt Darlene's has been a life saver for us. We have 2 small papillons and one is a puppy mill rescue. Whenever we went away it broke our hearts to put them in a kennel especially the rescue, since he spent 7+ years in a cage without contact, except to breed. Their home is like your own and they love your pet like their own. Their beautiful 2 dogs, Pebbles and Buddy, make all visiting dogs feel welcome and calm.
  
  We can't say enough about how much attention our dogs get and how well they are taken care of. If your pets are part of your family like ours are, then Aunt Darlene's Pet Sitting is the best service to use.
  
  We hope they are around for a long time. We recommend them to anyone who loves and cares about their pet. You cannot find better care anywhere!!!
  
  Thanks Darlene and Tom,

  Aunt Darlene and Uncle Tom are the BEST.
  
  My husband and I relocated to NJ from Texas a little over a year ago. We had always left our 'bundle of Mini-Daschund joy',Duncan with our beloved family and friends who were able to watch him if we were to go away-and we never worried a BIT about how he was doing because he was in the care of our closest companions who loved him like he was their own.
  
  We had NEVER, EVER boarded Duncan before we moved here and when we realized that we had to do so on our first trips being up here alone I nearly had a panic attack. Not having any recommendations or initially doing deeper research to discover such a service as Aunt Darlene's-we set Duncan up at a doggie/kitty hotel near our house-yes it seemed nice on the outside but the way our dog came back petrified when we picked him up was absolutely heartbreaking. Yes, there are those people that say "dogs are just dogs and that it shouldn't be that big of a deal-they'll get over it", but I am one of those people that consider my dog like a child (there are many that feel the same!) and you'd want nothing but the best for them because they bring so much specialness to your life... and seeing Duncan's reaction when he jumped into my arms after being boarded at the one place made me sick to my stomach.
  
  Many trips and nightmares later I made a serious effort to do better
  research and found Aunt Darlene's. I knew something better had to exist-SO TRUE!! All the testimonials on her page say everything perfectly about the level of service and love that they provide your pet. We will use no one else as long as we live up here. It says it all when Duncan knows the moment you pull up to Darlene and Tom's house and he is about to jump out of the car to make a run for Darlene,Tom and their two dogs, Buddy and Pebbles. It makes your heart want to burst when I pick him up and to see how he is so happy to see me, but sad to leave them-Duncan seems to go through a slight withdrawl with all the fun he had and now it's back to the boring mommy and daddy. :)
  
  *****HUGE RECOMMENDATION-YOU AND YOUR PET WILL BE SO PLEASED!! Thank you again!
