Pet care experience

Full Time Vet Tech/Dog Trainer

You can call me Dani 🐾 I have a pretty wide resume working with animals of all sizes, ages, temperament, and breeds. This includes 6+ years experience in handling aggessive, energetic, senior and adolescent dogs in a boarding/training setting as a dog behaviour care technician. Simultaneously I've worked as a vet tech for 8+ years total. I'm a part time biology student studying animal behavior while also pursuing a certification in dog training. My passion to work with animals and animal lovers has been consistent my entire life, and giving the proper care to pets and pet parents has always been a number one priority to me. PS. I am more than willing to negotiate pricing, especially for bundled walks or repeat clients. None of my rates are set in stone! Feel free to reach out to discuss. I have a very sweet and social 15lb Maltipoo at home and 4 incredibly friendly and social cats, along with a western hognose snake and a beardie.

House Sitting • Nov 06, 2019

This was my first time using Rover for a pet sitter - I had previously always had roommates or close friends to watch my pups - and was a little nervous about leaving my girls with a stranger. I pored through all the profiles in my area and read reviews and stressed over it until I messaged Danella. She replied quickly and sounded excited to take care of my pups; best part, she had the experience and references to make me feel confident she would do a great job with the kiddos. After meeting Danella I felt more at ease and she turned out to be a great furbabysitter! I will be using her again in the future, I'm sure, and I recommend Danella to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies while away.

Danella is a responsible and loving dog care attendant who I’d be delighted to recommend. She has experience caring for all kinds of dogs and is always providing the upmost care and attention.

Danella is one of the most dedicated animal care givers I've ever met. I worked with her at a high end animal facility for a long time and was constantly impressed both by her handling skills and how much she cared. She really takes the time to get the know the animals and fall in love. She treats them with the same respect and kindness that she does her own dog. I would trust her with my dog's life and so should anyone. Her attention to detail, patience, and overall attitude towards animals would be an asset to any dog owner.

I highly recommend Danella! She’s like a dog whisperer and loves each and every canine she comes in contact with. She gives off the positive energy needed to care for canines all sizes! She’s 100 percent responsible and I trust my own dog with her. A+!

Schedule

Currently I am a full time surgery technician at my animal hospital. My work schedule is very flexible most days, the latest I am home is 7pm if not by late afternoon. Otherwise in my free time I do tend to hike often, so I'm more than happy to bring your K9 family members along too.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to board dogs under 20lbs that are dog/cat friendly! However in your home I want to ensure your fur babies have exactly the same routine as if you were home with them.

Pets

A typical day

I love bringing dogs I work with on hikes/nature trails - sniff work is the best way to help relax and tire out a worked up pup.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Danella can host up to 1 pet per night
If they have any food sensitivities/timed medications or seizure history. Also if they have any seasonal allergies. A brief past bite history is preffered as well if skin has been broken. Behavioural triggers as well (sensitive with children, men, or dogs on leash etc)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
