Friendly neighborhood pet guardian!

Pet care experience

As a young kiddo animals have always been dear to me. In my adult life I worked three years at a doggy day care, one year as a groomer, and off and on shelter volunteer work. They get me and I get them, happy to help in anyway. Midday and afternoons I find to have open hours of what to do. Nighttime and evening is no problem too! My schedule can fill those odd hours that can be tricky to arrange on any day. Very aware and respecting of my surroundings, I cater to our furry friends with ease as they tend to let me know what to do!

Danika was great! She brought toys and sent pics and kept me up to date on how the furry babies were doing.

Danika has done drop-ins for us several times, and always takes loving care of my cats. She feels part of our family! She follows all of my (sometimes complicated) instructions. And goes above and beyond – doing the little extra things without being asked. She has a calm energy, and is very nurturing with my two cats. (There have been times I’ve been here while she was here) I know I can rely on her to show up, do all the things, and send me good photos and detailed updates. Grateful for Danika!

Safety, trust & environment

I can read an environment with ease. A sense of discomfort is immediately noticed by me and I always assess every situation of any gravity and ensure comfort for all! With experience at a dog day care, if a tussle ever comes about I am quick to seperate and end it, and assess all parties involved! It's a very rare occurance of course. You can always know that upon your return home all will be tidy and refreshed, home and pets! I treat every place and pet as my own, with care and respect and provide a daily routine to help comfort pets in your absence.

Information Danika W. would like to know about your pet

Besides the obvious temperaments with other dogs and people, knowing what's their favorite things are can make their time away from home more comfortable. I enjoy learning what tricks they know and what random objects can give them the spooks. I've noticed many dogs have curious phobias and keeping a comfortable environment is important to me.

A typical day

I make homemade dog treats with ingredients I collect from farmers markets that I work at. Super simple, delicious, and nutritious! I'm always looking for new routes and trails to keep the days interesting. As a creative person, I enjoy crafting many things into stimulating toys and games for pets!
