Happy Dogs, Happy Humans
Pet care experience
I have a three year old friendly German Shepherd and since training him as a puppy, I have learned how much I love working with other dogs and their humans and watching them grow together as a team. Having a high energy dog has helped me to be more active and engaging with my dog and I will do the same with yours. Wether your pet has endless energy or loves to just sleep on the couch, they will have a happy stay here. I will follow your preferences and needs as exactly as you would like while ensuring your animal has a good time. I love taking pictures of happy pets and will be sure to send you them while you are away! I pay very close attention to detail and make sure to watch all animal behavior to ensure the safety of everyone, animal and human alike.
Reviews
Danielle is AMAZING. She is so responsive and gave a very detailed report of how Roxie did on her walk. Danielle made me feel so at ease knowing Roxie was taken care of!
Danielle did such an amazing job walking my two pups! They didn’t bark at her when they first met which NEVER happens. Highly recommend and will use again!
Danielle has been both sitting and walking my pup now several times a month for the past year and she is wonderful. She provides lots of updates via videos and pictures so it's clear that she's actively engaging with my dog and not just providing the occasional walk and sitting around the rest of the time (unfortunately, I think this is what a lot of dog-sitters do). A really nice touch is that she provides feedback on how my puppers did during her visit (i.e. leash awareness, pulling, eating habits, incidents with other dogs). My dog used to be very stubborn with food and tended to pull a lot on walks and I had given up trying to fix these things but based on her feedback and advice, we've been able to work together on some of these issues and it's improved me and the pup's relationship which has made my dog and I very happy! It's clear Danielle knows a lot about dog behavior and training and genuinely cares about dogs and their owners. I highly recommend her for your Rover needs and would encourage discussing training with her if that's also something you're looking for.
Danielle is one of the most knowledgeable, passionate and caring dog owners I know. For as long as I can remember, she has been motivated and driven to consistently deepen her understanding of working with dogs. Danielle has been an invaluable resource to me on many different occasions when I personally have struggled with dogs of various temperaments and behaviors. I would not only trust Danielle with my own pup, but I would highly recommend her to others! She is reliable, exceeds expectations and is absolutely wonderful!
About Danielle W.
Communication
Skills
Information Danielle W. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog crate trained? (No worries if not, just want to set up our dogs for success) How does your dog do in the car? (I take my dogs almost everywhere with me and would do the same with yours if they are comfortable!) Does your dog have any resource guarding? Is he/she reactive to people or other animals? Has your dog had any formal dog training, if so please explain.
A typical day
Riverside Park is my back yard! Your dog will get frequent walks around the park as well as the surrounding area and proper socialization with other dogs if you want. I take my dogs everywhere with me even if it's for a short errand and will take yours as well if they would enjoy it! During the warmer season I love to go on hikes and long walks exploring! If a trail isn't dog friendly, I don't go! I usually go anywhere I can also take my dogs! Including dog friendly restaurants and shops. Your dog will not be staying home alone all day!
