Availability
I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced, dog-friendly backyard with a doggie door leading from the deck to the yard — perfect for safe outdoor access. I live on a quiet, flat cul-de-sac in the Oakland Hills, ideal for peaceful walks. I also enjoy visiting nearby parks and hiking trails, many within walking distance, for fresh air and exercise with furry friends. Please note that the daycare rate is for no more than 8 hours. Daycare for more than 8 hours will incur an additional charge.

Let Me Know! Does your dog have any special needs, preferences, or quirks? Whether it’s medication, mobility issues, anxiety triggers, or favorite toys—I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. 💛
A typical day
• 🐾 Scenic Walks – Leisurely strolls around safe, dog-friendly neighborhoods or trails tailored to your dog’s energy level. • 🥾 Adventurous Hikes – For pups who love a challenge, we’ll explore local trails and get some heart-pumping exercise. • 🌲 Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku) – A calming sensory experience for your pup, soaking in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. • 🎾 Fetch & Ball Time – Classic fun! Whether it’s at a park or your backyard, I’ll keep them active and engaged with their favorite toys. • 🧠 Brain Games – Simple enrichment games to keep your dog mentally stimulated (like treat puzzles or hide-and-seek). • 🧼 Brush & Bond – If your dog enjoys grooming, a relaxing brushing session is the perfect way to unwind together. • 💦 Splash Time – Weather permitting, water-loving dogs can enjoy sprinkler play or a dip in a dog-safe kiddie pool. • 😴 Snuggle & Chill Sessions – After all the fun, we’ll wind down with cozy cuddle time, belly rubs, and lots of love.

Loving Dog Care by RN
Pet care experience
As a Registered Nurse with 28 years of caregiving experience, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care. I personally cared for my own beloved dog for 20 years — through every life stage — including administering medications, managing special diets, and providing gentle senior care. I’m especially comfortable with: • Senior dogs and pets with special needs • Giving oral medications and supplements • Monitoring for health or behavior changes • Maintaining consistent routines • Offering lots of love, patience, and walks! My nursing background means I’m highly observant, dependable, and focused on safety and comfort. What sets me apart is that I truly understand pets are family — and I care for them with the same heart and attention I gave to my own. My husband calls me the dog whisperer!

I feel so lucky to have found Daniela! My dog is almost 13 and he loves seeing her and is always calm and well taken care of when I pick him up. Daniela communicates clearly, sends updates and pictures, and I feel her sincere care for my pup.
Daniela took amazing care of Ewok with frequent updates and photos. He came home so happy. Thank you for taking care of my baby!
We can’t recommend Daniela enough. Our dog Sasha is sweet but a little sensitive—she gets anxious around other dogs, is picky with food, and can get overly excited when meeting new people. So we’ve always been really cautious about who we leave her with. Finding Daniela was such a relief. She only watches one dog at a time, which is exactly what Sasha needs. No crowded homes or chaotic pack dynamics—just calm, focused attention. Daniela lives in the Oakland Hills and takes Sasha on long walks at the regional parks nearby, and even brings her along on peaceful weekend trips to Tahoe. Honestly, Sasha goes on vacation when we can’t take her with us! Daniela’s also a nurse, and you can tell she brings that level of care to how she looks after dogs. She keeps us updated with texts and pictures, and even gives us little health and care tips when we pick Sasha up. We never feel out of the loop, and we always know Sasha is in safe, loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, especially if your pup has quirks or needs a bit of extra TLC, Daniela is the one. Lidia. ( Sasha’s mom)
Daniela is amazing with dogs - especially ones with special needs. My dog Davey has pretty bad anxiety, especially in cars and around other dogs, but Daniela has a really calming presence that helps him feel safe. She’s watched him multiple times now, and every time he comes back happy and relaxed. What I really appreciate is that because she’s a full-time nurse (but works from home), she only takes one or two dogs at a time. That means she’s super attentive and gives each dog the care they need. I completely trust her with Davey and would recommend her to anyone.
