Experienced Animal Care Specialist

Pet care experience

I've dedicated nearly a decade to working with animals as both a trainer and a zookeeper. My journey in animal care began over ten years ago, where I developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, training techniques, and the specific needs of various species. During my career, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals, from elephants and beluga whales to snakes and spiders plus everything in between. This experience has equipped me with the skills to handle and care for animals of all shapes and sizes, ensuring they receive the best possible care. I'm well-versed in positive reinforcement training methods, which I use to encourage good behavior and strengthen the bond between pets and their owners. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for every pet in my care. Whether it's a fun day of play, a walk, or specialized training, I bring patience, understanding, and a wealth of knowledge to each interaction. Let me be the one to give your pet the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Having a professional animal trainer/keeper take care of your dog certainly provides the peace of mind that one is looking for when one looks to Rover for help! Add in that she is fun to deal with, prompt and of course, professional and Dani is a great provider whom I look forward to working with in the future!

Dani was fantastic and the fur kids loved her. They were happy to see her and sad when she left. Dani is respectful and responsive. She sent great photos and were completely relaxed knowing she was caring for our pets.

Dani was absolutely amazing! Our usual sitter wasn’t available, I was extremely nervous and she was so sweet communicating thoroughly the entire time. So grateful she was available during the holidays and still able to enjoy her holidays! Cannot wait to utilize her expertise again! Thanks girl! ☺️
