MY SUMMER 2026 SCHEDULE has been updated! Pet Sitting happens in YOUR animals own home to reduce stress and maintain your furry friend's regular feeding and bathroom routine. Animals can get dysregulated by change, just like humans! So this option allows your pet to skip the high energy and stress of kennels as I will be staying in your home and providing love and care for your pet day and night as requested. **Please note I work remotely from my laptop during the day. This means I will be multi tasking between computer work and phone calls, while also ensuring your animals are loved and cared for like they were my own by providing them care, feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Please provide parking and a WIFI password on the counter as I require internet access to work from home. Thank you! :) Drop Ins and Walks only offerred Mon-Fri after 5pm, and Weekends anytime. **Not offering care in my home at this time. About Me: I have two dogs of my own, as well as two bunnies, 6 chickens, a pig and two domestic pigeons. Therefore I am very familiar with animal needs and behaviors! I encourage any specific care needs be written down or messaged to me through Rover to ensure high quality care and detail can be given. Please note: ALL services are conducted WITHOUT my dogs or pets. Additionally, for safety purposes I do not interact animals from different houses. House sitting and walks are done for ONE household at a time, for safety purposes. Feel free to reach out with questions! :)

I provide care in your own home, by taking them out for walks, to the bathroom, refilling food/water as needed. Since care is provided in your own home I will be home during the day and can be receptive to your pets needs and any specific care plans they may have. This ensures that while you are away your animals recieve consistent care and you recieve peace of mind. Feel free to ask me questions! ☺️

Information Dani S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are specific routines or instructions for your animals and I'm happy to follow them to ensure they're at ease while youre away.

A typical day

Dog walks are included during overnight pet sitting, however your dog must be leash trained and have basic obedience training such as sit and stay. Please note, I am happy to discuss walking dogs that are reactive to other dogs, animals, and/or squirrels/cats/cars ect however this MUST be disclosed before hand to me in booking request, and an additional fee will likely apply. If your dog is reactive but you still want them to get out on nature adventures a safer preferred option is to book a private off-leash space through Sniffspot and I can bring your pup to an offleashed 30 or 60 minute sniff adventure in a safe and FULLY fenced environment in the West Saanich area. Happy to alter activites to suite specific dog needs and abilities. **Dogs will not be taken to dog parks or busy spaces unless specific instruction has been given that your dog is socialized and at ease with other dogs and people. **All walks are conducted on leash unless specific instruction has been given asking for off-leash time, and its been demonstrated the dog has good recall.

Dani cared for our puppy and two cats overnight. Everybody was happy and healthy when we got home, and we appreciated Dani coming the day before for a meet and greet, and providing updates while we were away. Thanks Dani!

Dani was awesome. She made time to pre-meet us and the dogs in the midst of our crazy snowstorm and terrible roads, which put us at ease. She is mature and calm. She communicated well while we were away (sending pictures), was flexible and accommodating when our return plans changed, and in general was a pleasure to work with. She had to juggle three dogs, so I feel we put her through the paces and she came out on top!
