In addition to petsitting, I teach yoga and work from home as the hospitality manager for a local B&B, I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and make sure to schedule my time around the needs of the pets i’m staying with so that they get everything they need and more! During the day I may have other pets to go walk or check in on but I never have to be away from the pets i’m staying with for too long

Pet care experience

I love animals! I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I was born and have been expected to take care of them since I was young. I’ve always loved feeding, walking, and bathing my families pups. I’ve also had a pet lizard and hamsters and am comfortable taking care of all sorts of animals! Currently, my family has two senior pups that we love! My boy, Ash, is visually impaired so i’ve gotten even more experience taking care of pets with special needs. My mom & I work together to take care of the pups so they are happy to be with her when I am sitting :) Since I started petsitting in Dec 2022 I have been consistently booked for housesitting and love it! I have always been an animal lover so spending my days making sure your fur babies are well taken care of is a dream! I’ve had several owners tell me that their normally shy pets were comfortable greeting me early on and that they were very calm and happy after my time with them. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs of all breeds, dogs with behavioral issues or anxiety, administering medication, and more! I have ample time and flexibility to keep them company, play with them, and take them on walks. I will even take them on errands with me if they enjoy car rides!

Danielle was fantastic with our very energetic and playful young dog! She took care of him, our house and our two parakeets for a week, and we came back to happy pets. Danielle is trustworthy, kind and wonderful at communicating. We loved that she sent us photos of our dog throughout the week. Thank you, Danielle!

Danielle took great care of our opinionated older dog and even managed to get on her very short nice list which is a feat in itself. She responded very quickly during the booking process and was very communicative throughout the stay. We will definitely be using her again if she is available.

I just returned from a 4-day trip and my almost-12-year-old Golden Retriever looks GREAT! Kudos to Danielle and her friend Michael (“the dog whisperer”). I admit I was a little nervous leaving my “baby”with a house sitter. I could tell immediately from the meet-and-greet tho, that Danielle & Michael both love dogs and are kind, responsible people who could be trusted to give Elsa timely doses of medicine, scheduled meals & regular walks, and LOTS of love. Danielle sent me daily photos while I was gone, along with reports about how Elsa was doing. (“Moms worry, y’know.” 😉) I hope to book Danielle and Michael again when I head out of town!
