Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet Days at Daryana’s Backyard are an important first step before your dog joins our regular day care crew or is going to be with us for boarding. While it’s considered a full day of day care, it gives us the extra time we need—without pet parents around—to interact with your pup, observe their temperament, and help them gradually get comfortable with our space and furry guests. Just like any day care day, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor play (weather permitting), enrichment time with toys like frisbees and balls, and indoor rest time in between. Dogs are always matched with playmates of similar size and energy, and we include treats unless your pup has special dietary needs. Nap time usually happens from 11 am to 1 pm, and our optional pet taxi service is available for pick-up and drop-off if needed. The Meet & Greet helps ensure your dog has the best experience moving forward—and gives us the chance to welcome them into our pack with open paws.
Our meet & greet=daycare hours are from 8 am to 4 pm.
As we consider Meet & Greet a regular day of Day Care, the usual pricing of $50 per pet applies.

Because We Really Care About Your Pets
Read Testimonials
Daryana and the boarding service she provides are amazing—truly top notch at each step. Daryana clearly loves what she does and truly cares about the dogs she boards. She responds quickly and clearly to requests and is very reliable. We boarded our 4.5 month old puppy for a long weekend, and Daryana told us exactly what we needed to send. She listened to what we had to say and read through the intake form/ info before we arrived for drop off. We saw many pictures of our puppy enjoying playtime, and we received text updates that left us feeling at peace. Daryana even provided some tips for us and extra surprises in the supplies she sent home. It is such a relief to know we have Daryana as part of our community! Thank you so much for doing what you do!!!
Had all 3 of our dogs stay for a weekend when we went out of town. We loved the pictures Daryana posted and the updates we received. Would definitely recommend! We have already booked our next visit!
Our girl Annie stayed with Daryana for 11 days while we were out of town. I got to see updates and talked to her throughout the time. Daryana had a play date with her before hand to get them used to each other. Annie came home clean and groomed and we had a wonderful experience. We will continue to use Daryana and her services and would highly recommend to everyone!
Daryana provides exceptional care to both my cats and dogs. We use her every time we travel.
Daryana’s Backyard is awesome! My dog has a great time there and is well cared for. I love getting the pictures and updates when he is visiting!
Bo loves being in Daryana’s Backyard! What a great second home for our puppers while we are out of town!
Daryana is amazing and my dogs always get so much care and love when with her! We even left our pups for 3 weeks, so very good for long term care. It is so nice to be able to travel knowing our little loves are in such safe, capable and loving hands.
Our dog is a ball of energy and can be quite anxious but at Daryana’s she so comfortable. She loves the interaction not only with the dogs but also Daryana and Graem. She really knows when to introduce dogs to each other to ensure no aggression or clashes. She has an awesome back yard that really allows the dogs to run around and get great exercise. She is our total go to for looking after Bella even though we don’t live locally. We trust Daryana and so does Bella.
I haven’t left my dogs on vacation in a very long time so I was nervous to leave, but choosing Daryana to pet sit was the best decision I could make! She treated my dogs like queens and sent me multiple pictures and videos at each visit which made me feel so good about leaving them in her care! She communicated throughly while we were gone and made sure my babies were happy and healthy. I highly recommend Daryana and plan to use her for any future needs!
Daryana is the best. So caring and detailed. She has also been so flexible with our crazy schedule!
Daryana is the best! Dogs love it!
We seldom leave our dog and worry about her whenever we do. Our lab stayed with Daryana last summer and had the time of her life. She was well cared for and we received frequent updates so that we didn’t spend anytime worrying. As a bonus, our dog came home with additional socialization and picked up some good habits.
If you are looking for a sitter to take good care of your furry babies, Daryana is your girl!!!
She has been watching my furry and not to furry babies for a long time and she always exceeds our expectations! Daryana is the best!!
Zeus loved it there and Daryana made sure he was comfortable by sleeping on the couch near him! She also makes sure they get lots of love.
Daryana is the best! Every time my pooch stays with Daryana I am secure in the knowledge that he is in the best care and I will be updated several times which I really appreciate! She has lots of great advice and highly recommend her!
Daryana takes such great care of our dogs. Our Ciela is quite spoiled and loves to go to Daryana’s backyard. I love that the dogs get taken for walks and get lots of love and extra attention just like at home and the text updates are a bonus!
Dog Sitting VS Dog Boarding VS Dog Walking VS Dog Visits
We often find that people mix up these terms, so here's a bit of clarification.
When you need someone to come over to your home and spend the night with Charlie, that's considered dog sitting. If you're bringing Charlie over to our home to spend the night, that's what we call dog boarding or overnight care.
When you need someone to come over to your home and spend the night with Charlie, that's considered dog sitting. If you're bringing Charlie over to our home to spend the night, that's what we call dog boarding or overnight care.
When we come over to your home and take Charlie for a walk outside, that's considered dog walking.
Finally, during an at-home visit, we feed Charlie, play with him, open the blinds, bring in the newspaper, but we will not take him out for a walk.

Puppies & Senior Dogs
We take into special considerations when it comes to puppies and senior dogs. Puppies have to have had their second round of immunization shots before we’re accepting them. Other options are available and a better fit for puppies, like dog walking, and at home visits.
Mature dogs are especially close to our heart, as we have one on our own. We will accommodate older dogs at Daryana’s Backyard. With older dogs, we need you to fill out additional forms for liability purposes and in case we need authorization for emergency care.
Our current pricing does not apply to puppy care. Reach out to me for an exact quote.
