🐾 Please read through my full profile (from top to bottom) before requesting a booking so you’ll know exactly what to expect and if I’m the right fit. Feel free to use promo code, DANICD74201 at checkout for $20 off of your first-time booking with rover. Hi there! I’m Danica, proud dog mom to a wildly enthusiastic Australian Shepherd (if you know the breed, you know it’s basically a full-time cardio class!) and devoted cat mama to a majestic kitty who’s been by my side for 9 years and I recently rescued a new kitty. Caring for pets has been my full-time focus for over a year, allowing me to offer a flexible schedule that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. I truly believe it takes a village to raise happy pets, and I’d love to be part of yours. A little extra about me: I’m also a proud military veteran—organized, dependable, and calm under pressure (even if there’s a sudden zoomie outbreak). I am also a solo mama to a bright and curious 12-year-old, and I’m a writer who finds magic in the small moments.

Safety, trust & environment
🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines and potty breaks to preferred walking routes and favorite toys. I keep things tidy, clean up after myself (and the pets!), and always ensure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. 🐾 Safety and comfort come first. I typically walk dogs when temperatures are between 40°F and 90°F, adjusting for breed, size, and coat. On hotter or colder days, walks are shortened or replaced with indoor play, fresh water, and snuggles. Drop-ins are available from 9 AM to 8 PM, and I do my best to stay as flexible as possible. ✨ A little extra peace of mind: Along with Rover’s Guarantee, I carry my own professional pet-sitting insurance. That means your pets, your home, and even your keys are protected with an additional layer of coverage.
Ratings and reviews
Danica has been great each time she has come and seen my cats. She is great with communication- if she needs to know something she will reach out and ask, ensuring she has all information she needs. I like that she has a cat of her own, so she knew how to get my cat jumping in the air after her feather, which she loves! She’s patient with my cats, letting them smell her first. I also appreciate her swift responses, thorough feedback, and going over the top for her last visit when I made a mistake surrounding my house key.
Danica has been amazing with my cats! Patient and kind, going above and beyond to care for them even with their particular personalities. Thank you Danica!
Wonderful as always!
Danica does a truly amazing job. Out of all the dog sitters we’ve ever had she is the most attentive, detail oriented and communicative. I love the report cards. Our pup is particularly anxious and I feel she really lets him tell her all about it and gives him so much love when we are not there.
Danica always does a great job with our pups and gives wonderful updates. We never have to worry about the pups when out of town. She goes above and beyond with every check in.
Danica did a marvelous job with our dog and our very old cat. We will certainly be calling on her again for our future needs!

Schedule
🐾 I offer flexible, affordable care with open availability for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. As a fellow multi-pet owner, I believe reliable care should feel warm, personal, and never out of reach.
