Availability
I am self employed so my schedule is fairly flexible. Generally speaking though, some days I work 4 hours, while others it might be 8. I always work a full day every other Friday. In the evenings I take ballet 3 days a week, so I'm usually gone from about 6-9pm. I also clean a couple of offices,one Monday, Wednesday, Friday for 3 hours, another Wednesday nights for 2 hours and again on Sundays for the same number of hours. Another is 4 hours anytime on the weekends. Anytime I'm not out doing my own thing, I'll be at your home with your pets.

About Danica S.

Safety, trust & environment
I'll be in your home, so your pets will already be in a safe space. Unless otherwise directed dogs are not left outside on their own and cats are not let outside at all. Doors are always kept locked. I also request that you leave the name and number of an emergency contact in the event something happens while you're away, either to your pets or your home, and I can't get ahold of you or need someone that's able to be a little more hands on with their help!
Information Danica S. would like to know about your pet
Please notify me of any potential issues with agressive behavior towards certain people/places/pets. Please notify me of any routines including feeding schedule. I also like to have the name and number for the vet that you use, WiFi password, emergency contact info, key /lock code info, parking info if needed, leash location, garbage day, mail box location if needed, plant watering schedule if applicable and if you have any service people or other visitors that may be entering the property or home while I'm there. Please also let me know what your expectations are in terms of photos and updates in regards to your pets. My standard update frequency would be once on arrival and then every other day during the sit and then when I leave for the last time as well. Hopefully it goes without saying though that of course if anything happens to your pets or home I will reach out right away.
A typical day
A typical day will start with me getting up, feeding your pets first before I grab a bite to eat for myself, followed by a shower before taking the dogs out for a walk (if they're morning walk pups!) before I either head out to work or if I'm not working I'll usually watch tv and otherwise just kinda hang out at your house with your pets. 2 days per week in the evenings (Sep-June only) I take ballet so pets are always fed before I leave for that class. Once I get back to your house I'll usually curl up on the couch or in bed for some cuddles and often fall asleep watching tv. That being said I do also work 1-2 evenings / week for a few hours and would be coming and going a bit later those evenings.

Pet care experience
Hi my name is Danica.. I'm a house cleaner with some extra time on my hands looking to care for dogs, cats and homes. My flexible work schedule allows for me to be able to drop by your home and care for your pet throughout the day and night. I personally owned 2 dogs for years as a kid and my 2 cats that were my babies for over 15 years have both now recently passed away. So now I am pet-less and would love some time with other people's pets. When house sitting I'll be staying overnight and have no problem also doing some cleaning while I'm there. I'm available 7 days a week and provide services anywhere in the greater Edmonton area. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks!

Reviews
Danica was communicative and flexible leading into the booking and met at our house to meet our pets to ensure a good fit. She left the home clean and orderly at the end of the booking. There were two occasions that we found where our animals were inside for 16+ hours without being let out and we had to make other arrangements on our own with a family member. It doesn’t appear the dogs were walked despite it being communicated beforehand. It appears one of the nights the pets were left alone overnight and was one of the 16+ hours they were not out.
We came home to a clean house, shoveled walks, and most important a healthy and happy pup!
Danica's 2-week stay with our border terrier gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was quick to pick up on all the details we provided and even thought to check on a few we missed. Whenever we were looking for an update, she sent a clear and concise message. We returned to a tidy dust-free home with squeaky clean floors and nicely shoveled walks. Thanks, Danica, for such good care of Bobbin and our home!
Danica looked after our three pets and did an amazing job. The house was cleaner than when we left it, and the pets seemed to really take a liking to her. Thanks for the pictures and updates, will be booking with you again in the future!
