Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, steady presence for your dog while you’re away. If requested, your dog will be leash-walked, or allowed supervised playtime in your yard. I always keep dogs separate from each other during feedings and I triple-check before opening doors to prevent an accidental escape.

Information Dani S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or desires for your pup during their stay. I am more than happy to accommodate most requests!

A typical day

I am happy to play fetch or whatever game your pup might enjoy. We can take walks, do food puzzles, hide and seek with toys or just sit calmly and watch tv. If my attention makes a dog nervous, I am happy to look busy on my phone or read a book to help them get used to me without me focusing on them. Sometimes I even read aloud to them to help settle their nerves. It’s not easy for some dogs when mom and dad go away so I will do everything possible to help them feel more comfortable.

Pet care experience

I have many years of volunteer experience with a local animal rescue to include fostering of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. This unique experience has provided me with a skill set that includes understanding subtle cues, and noticing changes in behavior when a pet doesn’t feel well as well as being able to provide superior enrichment activities and basic care.

Dani was great with our girls as always! She is always quick to reply to messages, and makes sure our dogs are taken care of when we travel.

Dani was great with my two miniature dachshunds, they warmed right up to her. I had to book last minute, she was quick to respond and very professional!
