Pet care experience

Quality pet care in the Harbor!

My life has been filled with pets living as part of my family since I was a baby. I cannot imagine life without them. There are times when I need to entrust the care of my "kids" to others, so I understand how difficult that choice can be. Let me know if you are interested in a "meet and greet" and let's see if my services can be a value to you and yours. I look forward to hearing from you! Like many people these days, I recently transitioned away from a 26-year career in educational technology to pursue other interests. At this time, I am attending design school remotely, and have a flexible schedule that will allow me to support your pet sitting needs. My main focus/service at this time is in-home care to Gig Harbor residents only via drop-in service. I may also be able to accommodate the occasional overnight stay in my home if needed (fully fenced yard, but I do have a young Golden Retriever who is not yet neutered so must be mindful of that). I am available to feed, administer medications, and spend a little quality time to help your fur-babies miss you just a little less.

Great first drop in visit for my old labrador with medical conditions. Dani is very professional and kind. Will repeat!

Dani was the best! Our bulldog can be high maintenance, but she took such great care of him and treated him like he was her own! She was always quick to respond, and sent lots of pictures and check in notes. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave lol. He will be so excited to go back.

Thank you Dani for the extra care you shown my home and GiGi. For my first experience using Rover and leaving GiGi in the care of someone else, was a good one. Thank you, again.

Dani has taken care of three of my cats over the past few years. She adores animals and I always know they are in good hands. She also takes great pet pics!

You will not find a better pet sitter! It’s like having a trusted member of your family caring for your pet.

Pets

A typical day

I love to engage pets in whatever sort of play or activity they are open to and can benefit from. Here at home, we like to do "nose work" and agility training, go to the beach, and have mini-adventures here at home on our own property. :)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Please let me know if you dog has any special needs. I have three older dogs at home (and have care for several more) and understand they can be particular about food, play, meds, etc. Just let me know what works best for your baby.
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.
