“Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.”

About: In a personal and professional setting, I have taken care of lizards, frogs, crabs, shrimp, insects, mice, dogs, cats, deer, chickens, goats, sheep, fish, both native and tropical, and rabbits. I was born loving animals and quite enjoy learning new things about them. I greatly enjoy meeting new pets of any variety, and quite enjoy getting to know them. I am incredibly patient with animals and have a respect for their own personal selfs. I work full time, but I am usually free from 3pm to 10pm on weekdays. My weekend days are typically free anytime. I would love to figure out times between these frames, as I am typically flexible if given enough time to prepare. I was formally in the military, so you can be assured I know how to follow instructions. I do love to have a written list of tasks and care instructions. I am generally knowledgeable of baseline care, but I will gladly follow your instructions. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces, and will be as clean as possible while in anyone's home. My general rule with any animal is patience and repetition.
About: I grew up in the country surrounded by all types of animals. Pups, cats, bunnies, goats, guinea pigs were all part of my life growing up and giving them a good life meant the world to me. Regardless of the animal it's gonna get a world of enthusiasm and love. I'm currently a full time student but I have time during Wednesday, Fridays and weekends that I would very much like to spend helping take care of pets. I think the best way to keep any pet safe and cared for is to simply be present. That and being mindful of any special needs or wants of the pet.
“Great!”

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family.
