Does your dog hate dogs? No problem
Pet care experience
I’d love to be your dog’s friend while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and been the sole caretaker of pets for about 15 years. I quit my corporate job about 3 years ago to work in animal rescue/animal care. I currently have 4 dogs of my own (I know, it’s nuts)who each come with their own issues and a cat. Because of this, I’m currently not available for overnight care. Two of my dogs are a mama dog (with severe anxiety) and one of her puppies (a crazy puppy) who was actually born and raised in our basement with her litter—then they just stayed. My other two are a dog reactive, large breed 14 year-old and a 7 year-old basset mix with multiple medical issues. So, in summary, I’m very experienced with animals of all ages/needs and in administering medications and subcutaneous injections if needed, as well as caring for sick, elderly or injured animals. I hope to hang out with your furry-kids soon!
Reviews
This was the second time time that Darcy has stayed with our pup, and as usual it was fantastic. We loved her daily updates and photos -- it was clear she took such good care of our dog, as well as our apartment while we were gone. Thanks Darcy!
Darcy sat for our pup for a second time and we were just as thrilled as the first time. Highly recommend Darcy!
Darcy was great! She was very considerate of us and our sweet pup. She made time to come meet our dog and tour our home before the sitting to make sure she knew where everything was and didn't have any outstanding questions. Darcy sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and kept our dog very happy. We will certainly use Darcy again!
Darcy was great with Elwood. We appreciate all of her efforts in helping Elwood overcome his nervous challenges. He was in good hands with Darcy. We will definitely use Darcy again for dog sitting. Thanks Darcy!

Information Darcy H. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences! I would only like to know any quirks your pup or cat might have so I can be mindful of how I’m entering your home and approaching your pets. For example, if a dog is fearful of strangers, it’s best for everyone involved to come in quietly and calm and wait for the animal to come to me.
