Healthy Puppy Sitter 🍏

🐾 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. 🐶🐱💖

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

🌳If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a spacious, clean, and cozy space where they are treated like family. I provide plenty of cuddles, attention, and playtime, as well as daily walks to ensure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I also make sure to follow any special instructions regarding feeding, medication, or other routines to keep them feeling secure and loved. 🏠In your home, I create a familiar, peaceful atmosphere by respecting your pet’s usual routine. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or providing extra care for any health needs, I stay consistent with what they’re used to. I’m also always available for updates and pictures, so you can stay connected with your furry friend while you're away.

Daniela was our dog’s first ever walker and she did a great job of making him feel comfortable right away! She’s very flexible, punctual, and sends great updates after every walk

Schedule

Every day, I organize my routine around the unique needs of each pet I care for. Whether it’s a peaceful morning walk, cozy cuddle time, or a nourishing meal prepared with love, I’m fully present and dedicated. Because I do this full-time, I can offer flexible scheduling, close attention to detail, and a calm, loving environment that helps pets feel safe and understood. This lifestyle allows me to form genuine bonds with the animals I care for and give them the presence and consistency they deserve.💖
