Pet care experience

Bi-lingual (German/English) petcare

Dogs and cats were always part of our family growing up so I love them both. Originally from Switzerland, I speak Swiss German and German (Hoch Deutsch) fluently. So if that happens to be the language your pet responds to best, “kann ich auch Deutsch sprechen. Kein Problem!” 😉 🐶 🐈 🐕 🐈‍⬛ 🐱 🐩 I live and work in Old Town, Alexandria and I’m willing to do all the services— dog-walking, drop-ins, house-sitting including overnight stays. Please let me know any way I can help. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry cuties soon! Daniela

Daniela was amazing! With all the stress of traveling, I didn’t have to worry about my dog Lyle. I knew he was in great hands. She was really attentive to details, responsive, and we could tell Lyle had a great time with her. He’s high energy but such a sweetheart and she was so accommodating to that. We would absolutely book with her in the future. Thank you!

Daniela is incredible! She took great care of my senior pooch, sent lots of updates, and was flexible when my travel plans changed. Theo loves her and we'll definitely be booking again.

Daniela was fantastic! She took great care of my senior pup, sent lots of updates, and was very thoughtful about his medical needs. My apartment was cleaner than I left it. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Daniela is such a sweet person and great dog sitter! She went the extra mile for us on this trip and we would definitely hire her again to care for our ole hound girl. Plus, Daniela's good friend and dogsitter Randy means your pet gets double the love and support.

Safety, trust & environment

I am available to care for pets in/near client’s home and of course walk dogs anywhere nearby. Also do boarding. in my apartment which is a very dog friendly community with a huge property surrounding it with lots of green space and lots of walking paths & trails right outside my door which lead to various parks, the river, into town or into the beautiful nature along the river on the Mt. Vernon trail!!

A typical day

I love taking the dogs I watch for long walks (as I love to take long walks myself), also take them out and give them shorter walks as well, play ball, fetch, run around with them. Love giving them snuggles and cuddles and I also let them on my couch and sleep in bed with me. Can even work on training them to do simple activities, and obey simple orders if you’d like me to

I would definitely like to know your pet’s temperament, any triggers they may have (for example, if they get nervous or more aggressive when around children, certain types of people, other animals, traffic, certain sounds, etc. ), unique quirks they may have, their likes, and dislikes, how well they walk on a leash or how obedient they are, if they have any separation anxiety, if they ever have accidents in the home, any other random odd behavior, like chewing on things or drinking water nonstop. Just all the obvious things that one would need to know about to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety as well as mine and anyone else that may be around them.
