About Danielle C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a decade of experience caring for dogs who are coming to me from very stressful situations (running stray, confinement in a shelter, or surviving the death of a loved one). I think of myself as a dog social worker. I try to understand what they need and how they can feel safe and confident. I provide a safe and consistent environment. I have house-trained and leash-trained more dogs than I can count. I only use positive reinforcement, and I am very patient.
Information Danielle C. would like to know about your pet
A note on booking: If your dog(s) cannot be left alone for 1-2 hours at a time, I consider it constant care. Please book multiple Drop Ins and not House Sitting. My House Sitting rate is for pets that can be left alone for at least 2 hours at a time as I have regularly scheduled walks during the day. My base Drop In rate is $20 for 30 minutes and $32 for an hour. My base House Sitting rate is $55 per night. I will adhere as closely as possible to regularly scheduled walks, meals, and potty breaks while I am house sitting with your pet(s). Thank you 🐾 Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or problem behaviors that need some work. I am not a trained dog trainer, but I have lots of experience addressing behavioral issues.
A typical day
I love to take long walks in neighborhoods and local parks. I can provide brisk walks for high-energy dogs, and slow, meandering "sniff" walks for more laid-back pups. I have a senior Beagle who can take as much as 20 minutes to walk around the block. He's all about the sniffing. He has taught me so much patience. I also enjoy playing fetch.

Pet care experience
I love dogs and have devoted myself to local animal rescue efforts. I call our home "The Cecchine Hotel for Dogs". Over the last 10 years, we have fostered 200+ dogs (and a few kittens). We currently have 4 senior dogs in residence. I have extensive experience with seniors and special needs dogs (ex-blind, deaf, tripod). I have delivered and raised 3 litters of rescue puppies. I really have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs. I adore them all. I also care for a small flock of chickens and have "adopted" a pair of neighborhood cats who now spend most of their time enjoying my front porch.
Reviews
Danielle was great! She sent lots of pictures and left the house just as we left it.
Wonderful person and very kind, knowledgeable and punctual.
Danielle is incredible! She took the best care of my anxious and reactive little fella. She is patient, kind, and down to play. I will absolutely be booking her for all of my future pet sitting needs!
Danielle was great! Will be using her again next time I’m in NOLA.
