Availability

Living with two anxious, very attached doodles has given me hands-on experience with dogs who need structure, reassurance, and enrichment to thrive. I’m comfortable adapting to any personality — from independent cats to sensitive or high-energy pups — and I’m especially skilled at helping anxious dogs feel safe through positive reinforcement, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency.

Information Daniella I. would like to know about your pet

Before our first visit, I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any behavioral quirks. Please share information about anxiety triggers, leash manners, medical needs, medications, allergies, and how they typically respond to new people. For cats, I appreciate knowing their comfort level with interaction and any hiding spots or sensitivities. The more I understand ahead of time, the better I can provide consistent, stress-free care.

A typical day

Each day includes walks, structured play, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. I focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and building trust so my dogs feel safe, engaged, and balanced. For cat drop-ins, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to their personality — whether that means interactive play, gentle affection, or simply respecting their space while keeping routines consistent.

Gentle, Attentive Velcro Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Velcro dog mom to two high-energy Goldendoodles, plus a 10-year-old rescue cat I took in after a box of kittens was left at the pet store where I worked. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me.
