I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle. She was absolutely incredible from beginning to end, and I genuinely don’t think we could have found a better person to care for our pets. I was extremely anxious about leaving them, especially because our dog, Merlin, can be anxious when we’re away and requires a little more patience, attention, and understanding than the average dog. Our cats also have their own personalities, routines, and anxieties, so trusting someone else with all three of them was a really big deal for me. Danielle completely put my mind at ease. She followed every single care instruction to a tee and was so attentive to all of the little details that matter to us. More importantly, though, she treated our animals with so much genuine love, patience, and kindness. She took the time to make Merlin feel comfortable and secure, kept up with his routines, gave him plenty of attention, and handled his anxiety beautifully. She even handled his grooming incredibly well, which was another aspect of his care that meant a lot to us. Merlin is a Samoyed with a lot of fur and grooming him can require patience and a gentle approach, and Danielle did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable while still taking such great care of his coat. I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and patiently she handled him. She was equally wonderful with our cats and allowed them to warm up to her at their own pace while making sure they felt safe, loved, and cared for. Seeing how comfortable they became with her was incredibly reassuring. Danielle also went above and beyond when it came to communication. She sent us frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, told us how everyone was doing, and gave me an incredible amount of reassurance throughout the entire time we were away. She seemed to understand without me even having to explain just how hard it was for me to leave them, and her updates allowed me to actually relax and enjoy our trip because I knew our babies were in such capable and loving hands. What stood out most was that this never felt like someone simply “watching our pets.” Danielle genuinely cared about them. You can tell when someone is just completing a list of instructions versus when someone is truly invested in making your animals feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and Danielle was absolutely the latter. The amount of care and compassion she showed them meant more to us than I can adequately put into words. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that had been treated with the utmost respect. Knowing that Merlin and the cats had someone so loving and dependable with them while we were gone was priceless. If you are an anxious pet parent, have pets with specific routines or needs, or simply want someone you can completely trust with the animals you consider family, I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. She exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us and our fur babies, and we would trust her with them again in a heartbeat. She is truly an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their pets. We definitely look forward to having her stay again❤️

Danielle is always quick to respond and our dog loves her. She gives great updates and photos, and we have used her several times!

Danielle is the best!!

Danielle is so dependable and communicative!

Danielle is wonderful. She always takes such thoughtful care of my dog, and her visits give me total peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness.

Danielle handled our kitty’s complex health needs with ease. Not even a surprise bear raid on our trash and bird feeder deterred her from getting our boy his meds on schedule! Really impressed with her detail orientation and genuine care. We highly recommend Danielle!
