About
Hi there. Let me startoff by I have been an animal lover since I was a child and i will continue my passion of loving animals.
Since I was little my dad owned many different dogs and chickens.
Then when I grew older I started owning many different animals from dogs, cats, lovebirds, turtles & cameleons. Every morning i made sure their areas were cleaned, made sure they had water and food and well taken care of.
Then in 2018 I had to depart from all my animals because i ended up moving into my very own new home.
Now I want to reachout to people who need help with their animals because i miss having animals around.
I hope I can help you in anyway possible. Thank you for your time😁

Darlene was so good with our two girls! We went on a long weekend trip and she came to our house a couple times a day to let them out and feed them. She was very responsive and sent us pictures while we were gone. When we came home they were happy and were well taken care of. Would highly recommend and will use her pet sitting services again in the future!

Pazoozoo had a great time staying for the week! Darlene and her family took good care of pazoozoo and sent us photos of him being a good boy while we were out of town. Will definitely use her services again the next time we have to go out of town again!

Did a meet and greet with my two fur babies at Darlene’s home. My boys who usually bark when he a new environment, were relaxed and happy to look/sniff around Darlene’s yard. Darlene was very nice and let the boys roam. Her 6 year old daughter came outside and sat quietly on their lanai and waited for the boys to approach her. They did and were calm and happy to say hello. We did not book only because our niece was able to change her schedule to help.

Darlene's love for caring for animals is 100% genuine. She came to my home and helped me clean out my 55 gallon fish tank. She is professional and well worth paying for her support, knowledge and services.
