Pet care experience
Why Choose Me? I’ve shared my life with beloved pets. From an early age, I’ve cared for a variety of animals—dogs, cats, birds, fish, and hamsters—and I believe every pet deserves to be treated with the same love and respect. Over the years, I’ve also stepped in to help animals in need, including rescuing strays and ensuring they found safety at shelters. Caring for friends’ and family members’ pets and volunteering at an animal shelter have further shaped my understanding of providing thoughtful, compassionate care to pets of all kinds.

Reviews
Over the past several years, Daniela has always been a reliable caregiver for my cats. On several occasions I have asked Daniela to watch over my pets while on 7 to 10 day road trips, and she has always been reliable and provided the proper care for my furry friends when I cannot be there. Daniela has always been courteous and willing to help. Highly recommended!
In addition to being a responsible and caring fur mom, Daniela has reunited multiple neighborhood pets back with their owners. She's attentive to their needs and very passionate about helping them live their best possible life!
Daniela herself has taken care of both cats and dogs for over 20 years. She has watched my 2 dogs on multiple occasions. I have a big Great Dane and Lab mix. I have never had any issues with her care. I have full faith that she will properly take care of anyones animals.

Information Daniela S. would like to know about your pet
We’ll start with a Meet & Greet where you can tell me all about your pet—their personality, routine, special needs, likes, and dislikes. This is also a chance to share any key information, such as medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or behavioral quirks, so I can provide the best care possible. This meeting helps us decide if we’re a great fit, giving you confidence that your pet will be safe and well cared for while you’re away. I offer both virtual and in-person Meet & Greets for your convenience.
A typical day
Depending on the number of visits scheduled, each drop-in typically lasts 30 minutes (or an hour, if requested). During this time, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs are met, including feeding, following any specific routines, taking them outside for potty breaks, and, of course, plenty of playtime and attention! I’ll also send you photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. When house sitting, I’ll stay overnight to ensure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar environment. In addition to keeping them company, I’ll follow their daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, while keeping you updated with pictures and messages. Dog Walking: Walks will be tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs, typically lasting 30 minutes unless a longer session is scheduled. These walks take place right in your neighborhood to prioritize your dog’s comfort and safety. I focus on providing quality walks in familiar surroundings, ensuring your pup enjoys fresh air, exercise, and exploration in a setting where they feel most at ease.
