Pet care experience

🐾 Hi Richmond! I’m Daniela, a full-time, loving pet sitter newly based in Richmond, VA. I moved here in December with my husband after living in New York, where I built my dog pet care services, especially small breeds and senior pups. I’m also proud mom of a 13-year-old sweet Shih Tzu, so I truly understand gentle care, patience, routines, and the special attention older dogs need. For me, pet care is more than a service , it’s a commitment. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment, always adapting to your pet’s personality, energy, and daily routine. ✨ What Richmond pet parents can expect: • 💛 Genuine love, patience, and one-on-one attention • 🎒 Thoughtful, detail-oriented care (treats, hydration, weather-ready walks, special needs) • 📸 Daily updates and photos for peace of mind • 🌳 Enriching walks around Richmond neighborhoods, parks, and green areas, always at your dog’s pace • 🏡 A cozy, pet-friendly home with natural light, comfy beds, and relaxing music 🎁 Little extras I love to offer: • Birthday & holiday treats • Dog ice cream during summers • Indoor walks on rainy days • Mini spa care upon request (paw cleaning, brushing) • Endless patience and unconditional love🤍 📬 Let’s connect! I’d love to meet you and your pet and become your trusted local sitter in Richmond. Your furry family member will always be treated as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💖
