Customized Care
Pet care experience
I'm a graduate student at the UMN, so when I come to your house to dog sit/house sit, I am spending a lot of quality time with your dog or cat. It's a win-win; I approach dog and house sitting as an opportunity to read my assignments while petting and cuddling with pets, taking breaks to play catch or go on long walks. With me you get high quality and quantity. I am really good with all sizes and personalities, including dogs who might be shy, nervous, or anxious. I enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats, and have cared for dogs of all ages, temperaments, breeds, SIZES, and with various special needs. I have experience administering topical medicines and eye drops for pets. I am very receptive to specific instructions and appreciate the detail as it allows me to provide optimal care for your pet. I adjust to each client's particular style of care, as every pet has unique needs.
Reviews
My dog and cat loved having Danielle take care of them (aka pamper and spoil them!) and I did too. Danielle was always responsive, always communicative and always a joy to deal with. I will use Danielle again, and again. Thank you Danielle!
Danielle was great with her communication and gave plenty of love and attention to our girl! Will definitely be looking to book Danielle in the future :)
Danielle has an easy, loving way with dogs, and my two girls took right to her. She did such a wonderful job watching our dogs, who can be fairly high maintenance, along with our house while we were out of town. We felt completely comfortable with her in our home, and she sent wonderful pictures to keep us updated. We're so happy we found Danielle!
My yellow lab Willow was so chill when I came home after four days, so I know she had a great time and was relaxed with Danielle. They lounged around, went on walkies, and spent time in the backyard, plus Danielle thoughtfully sent pictures!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I come over to house sit, we decide on a time (usually in the evening), and I perform all of the duties (feeding, walking, etc.) needed. I wake up and do a morning walk (and breakfast if your pet eats twice a day), hang around the house while studying for school and hanging out with your pet, go for an afternoon walk, then dinner and an evening walk. This is all adjustable based on your pet's needs and your preferences.
Information Danielle B. would like to know about your pet
I just like to know if the dog has any special needs, medical needs, behavioral triggers, or special feeding practices. I like to meet and discuss with the owner to get a detailed portrait of the owner's expectations and desires when I care for the dog(s).
A typical day
I love walking for exercise. For those dogs in particular that enjoy long walks (especially the ones that have a ton of energy and need to let it out), I enjoy vigorous walks with my clients. I also enjoy tossing frisbees, toys, and balls with dogs. I adapt my style of care to your pets' needs. I enjoy caring for everyone: from energetic puppies who need a lot of ball-tossing to older dogs who want to chill with me as I read on the couch, to middle-age dogs who love a brisk walk, to dogs that are more attention-needy to those who are more independent and laid back.
