Pet care experience

Cats, dogs, reptiles, and exotics!

Hi all! I started petsitting during Covid due to my career in the travel industry being quiet, and now petsitting has become my career and brings me great joy. I have two cats of my own (watched by their “grandparents” when I’m away) and I’ve been caring for pets all my life. I have experience with animals from cats,dogs and bunnies to horses, bearded dragons, cockatoos, guinea pics and beta fish. I used to have a Newfoundland - so I’m comfortable with big dogs, but also comfortable with little dogs too. I have two special needs cats that require oral medications daily, so I am definitely used to challenging situations and thinking outside the box. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have or provide any additional references. Additionally, I’m triple vaccinated for covid and happy to take any precautions that make the client comfortable. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Danielle was very communicative. She did a great job of taking care of our cat, who has separation anxiety! Danielle took good care of our house as well by bringing in the mail and taking out the trash.

House Sitting • Jun 27, 2026

We hired Danielle to care for our 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were on vacation. She took wonderful care of our babies and even watered my garden for me as well! We received updates, sometimes multiple times over the course of a day and the house was clean and tidy upon our return. I would hire Danielle again and I would recommend her to friends and family.

Schedule

My housesitting services: Generally my services include staying in the home from dinner - breakfast (exact times can vary but usually at least ten hours overnight), along with a mid-day stop in for dogs, if not more. I do try to spend as much time as possible in the home and often it is more than the hours mentioned, but it depends on my schedule. I am able to provide walks/ bathroom breaks every 4-6 hours depending on location, or more often on request. I am also happy to provide a few hours of constant care for housesitting rate (IE: if you don’t want to leave pup home alone and need to do some errands). In addition, I offer the option of around the clock care 24/7 care for housesits for additional cost (I generally walk dogs during the day and this requires me to take time off of work). When requesting a housesit, please let me know exactly what you are looking for and I will he happy to work with you. Petsitting is my full-time job and I am very flexible. However, I tend to get booked pretty far in advance so advanced notice is always preferred. For housesitting, my radius is fairly broad: I service Mt airy, Germantown, Roxborough, East Falls, Chestnut Hill, Lafayette Hill, Manayunk, Jenkintown, Fort Washington, Wynnewood, Broomall, Glenside, Bryn Mawr, Norristown, Fishtown, Brewerytown, Wyndmoor, Elkins Park, Flourtown, Conshohocken, Blue Bell, Ardmore, Swarthmore, Ambler, Bala Cynwyd, Merion Station Pheonixville - pretty much anywhere within a half hour radius of Mt airy, Philadelphia. Outside my radius? Feel free to reach out and happy to discuss. For drop ins or dog walks, I prefer a time range if at all possible. I have an hour grace period (an hour early or hour later, as animals and traffic are unpredictable, exact times are difficult to guarantee ) unless otherwise specified. I have a fairly broad radius for drop in or occasional dog walks: Mt airy, Germantown, Roxborough, East Falls, Chestnut Hill, Lafayette Hill, Manayunk, Jenkintown, Fort Washington, Wynnewood, Bryn Mawr, Norristown, Brewerytown, Wyndmoor, Elkins Park, Flourtown, Conshohocken, Blue Bell, Ardmore, Ambler, Oreland, Wynnefield Heights, Merion Station, Bala Cynwyd, Glenside - pretty much 25 minutes or less from Mt Airy. A little over my radius? Feel free to reach out to discuss. For recurring basis dog walks, (once a week or more) I have a smaller radius. I service: Mt airy, Germantown, Roxborough, East Falls, Chestnut Hill, Lafayette Hill, Manayunk, Jenkintown, Fort Washington, Elkins Park, Flourtown, Ardmore, Oreland, Wynnefield Heights, Merion Station, Bala Cynwyd, Glenside - anywhere less than 20 minutes from Mt Airy. If you’re slightly over, feel free to still reach out to discuss.

Is your dog ok with other dogs? Does your dog have a history of biting? I’ll be honest that I’m not comfortable sitting a dog with significant behavioral issues. Cats - I am used to the moodswings of crazy cats, however. I am also used to special needs cats and I’m ok with giving kitties medications.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
