Pet care experience

Dogs make the world BETTER 🐾❤️🐶

I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. (25 years experience-dogs, cats, equestrian, cattle) I have been a veterinarian assistant in the past. Working from home gives me this amazing opportunity to be able pet sit. I just recently lost my precious boxer Juno to cancer, I’m not ready for a new baby, but I can certainly give love freely to pups when family is out of town. It’s just me at my home so there is no introduction issues with other pets. My apartment has a fenced in dog area I can take them to play, also a park nearby I would love to take them to walk.

Danena is the best! I know my fur baby is in great hands when she’s with her.

Danena was great with my Bootsy girl! EBs have a lot of personality, and she welcomed all of it. Would definitely book with her again.

I was a little apprehensive about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time, but Danena made the experience easy and reassuring. She was kind, professional, accommodating and followed all of my instructions carefully while keeping my dog comfortable and on his normal routine. I really appreciated the updates, which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely trust her to watch my dog again.

Aspen was well taken care of and very happy during her stay with Danena. She made sure to send daily updates on how Aspen was doing while I was away.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 06, 2024

Danena was amazing!!! She provided doggy daycare very last minute for us when we were in town for a tournament for our kids and our other arrangements fell through. She literally saved our day and was so kind and understanding. She was great with our senior high anxiety lab and our skittish chihuahua. Highly recommend!!

Schedule

I’m 100% remote working from home. I’m an ex trainer and coach so very active. I’m excellent with dogs, I have worked closely with experienced dog trainers before. Your dog will be in excellent hands with love, snuggles and exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

Plenty of walks and attention. There are fenced small and large dog areas at my apartment where I can safely take them to play. There is a nearby park where I can take them on a nice leashed walk to get the energy out. Im also a big softie, they will probably wind up sleeping at the end of my bed, if that’s in their normal routine from home☺️❤️

A typical day

I love to play and stimulate dogs mentally. Dogs need to get that stimulation so they can be relaxed and stress free. I’ve owned boxers in my adult life so I learned some amazing things from very talented trainers. But, I also love the snuggles and down time after a long productive day.

Let me know if your fur baby has any special needs. I worked as a veterinarian assistant for about one year. I have a large variety of experience with all breeds.
