Pet care experience

Your pet’s home away from home 🐾❤️

I am a recent Yale graduate living in DC, an animal lover, and have cared for animals my whole life (from cats and dogs to hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits!) Whether it’s walks, pet sitting, or fun overnight stays, I always make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and right at home. I live in a one bedroom by myself so your pet will have my full undivided attention! I’ve provided care in all kinds of environments—from busy family homes to cozy college apartments and quiet single-unit spaces—so I adapt easily to your pet’s needs and routines. You can count on me to shower your pet with lots of love, snuggles, and treats, and cater to any specific schedules or special routines to make them feel as close to home as possible🐾

Bruce had the best weekend with Daniela! She was conscientious, doting, and clearly helped my neurotic rescue terrier feel safe and comfy in her home. I got lots of pictures and updates, absolutely would book again

Daniela has taken care of my dog multiple times already and she is so caring and loves to play with dogs. She always sends updates on her walks with the dogs and I can see how she truly enjoys taking care of them. I would highly recommend her and si am sure you will love her.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, so your fur baby will have my full attention and care. I live in a pet-friendly building with great amenities, including a pet spa and a small park just steps away—perfect for walks and outdoor time. I’m provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks as needed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. My home is calm, safe, and always set up to make pets feel right at home.

A typical day

I love cuddling with the pets I watch, ensuring the feel loved and safe, go on energizing walk with stimulating play time, as well as rest breaks and potential treats throughout the day!
