"You cannot do better in a pet sitter/house sitter than Darr.  We had to take a last-minute trip over the New Years holiday, and I found Darr through a recommendation on a social media site.  She responded promptly to my inquiry, and we met in person soon after to see if it was a good fit. Darr was incredibly conscientious--asking excellent questions and evaluating whether our two dogs responded to her well. She was super thorough in pinning down the necessary information and very professional throughout our discussions.  After we agreed it was a good fit, she stayed with our dogs in our home, and her communication continued to be excellent.  She sent me regular updates and photos of the dogs.  We returned to find the dogs happy and healthy.  I was especially glad to have Darr sit the dogs in our home, because people shoot off fireworks on New Years and that is so stressful for the pups.  Darr clearly took great care of them and our house.  She gets our highest recommendation."

"Darr took great care of my two cats over the holidays.  Its always harder over the holidays, to get all the scheduling set and all the details and exigencies clear.  She took extra care to find out all the little quirks of each cat's personality and food and snack preferences, as well as the details of house sitting keys, mail, emergency contacts.

Darr has a genuine love for animals and holds herself to a high standard of care,

which helped me to relax since it was the first time we left our kitties.  My husband and I  both felt very reassured by her diligence in getting all the information to ensure a smooth experience.  She also communicated very promptly when we had a few unexpected questions.

Above and beyond the call of duty she even helped me hunt down a tax voucher over the phone that suddenly had to be dealt with!

Very grateful for her!"

“Best pet sitter I ever had.  I don’t usually feel comfortable going away and leaving my animals.  I would have no qualms about leaving them again in Darr’s capable hands.”

“I've had the pleasure of having Darr provide me with both garden maintenance and house cleansing services for my home.  I'm sensitive to chemicals and fragrances and I really appreciate her knowledge and thoughtfulness about these issues while getting the jobs done safely and to my satisfaction.  She makes sure to go over everything in detail with me before getting started and she always asks about any special requests/needs that I may have.  You will not find a more conscientious and caring person to assist you with your home and garden care needs.  I trust Darr completely!”

“Cain and I highly recommend Darr.  Cain is a cancer survivor who had recently completed 6 months of chemotherapy when I sought out a house/dog sitter so I could go away for a weekend, and feel confident that Cain was well cared for. 

Darr was highly recommended to me. When she came over to meet Cain he instantly sensed her warm energy. I was impressed by her interaction with the dog and her excellent questions regarding his care.   In addition, we reviewed instructions for taking care of the house. 

Darr more than exceeded my expectations. The dog was well cared for, the house was meticulous, and she sent pictures of Cain throughout the day to let me know all was well. After that first weekend I hired her many more times knowing that Cain and the house would be well cared for.”

“Darr has great energy, is kind and responsible and for the past two years has taken wonderful care of our dog when we are traveling.  It’s a true comfort to know that when we are not here she is giving our dog love and attention.  We have a sensitive little Chihuahua who is bonded to us and he feels comfortable with Darr.  When we return from being away he is relaxed and happy, and to me that’s the best indicator that he was well cared for.  She is also very respectful to our home.  Every time we return the house feels clean and cared for too.  I can sincerely say your pet will be in great hands with Darr!“

"Darr is an amazing person and caregiver for pets. I was fortunate enough to meet Darr through a close friend when I was in desperate need of a pet sitter. I immediately loved her, and so did my two cats.... Millie and Oliver. It was always hard for me to leave my kitties when I traveled, so it was especially nice that Darr was willing to stay overnight with them a few of the nights during my time away. She sent me regular updates and photos, which was totally unexpected and amazing! She is truly the best, and I highly recommend her."
