Certified In Dog Behavior

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Danielle, I am a 27 year old stay at home mom located in Thomasville. I left my corporate job in Finance & Insurance to care for pets full time. I have a mid-energy Jack Russell Terrier mix who loves other dogs, a 11 year old Golden Retriever who lounges around and loves to cuddle, a Golden Retriever puppy, and two outdoor cats. I have joined Rover as a way to offer top notch pet care services after my dogs experienced severe anxiety staying in a boarding facility. I have experience with XS breeds like teacup poodles, and XL breeds like Great Danes and Mastiffs. Please take a look at my photo collage where you can see over 70 different breeds I have cared for! I have also been maintaining salt water fish/corals for over 10 years and have experience with sharks, stingrays, eels, and more exotic marine life. I also have experience with cows, horses, and chickens as I grew up with them for many years and used to compete in barrel racing. I am certified in “Knowing Dog’s 101” and am specially trained in dog behavior. I have knowledge and experience with reactive and neurotic dogs that need special care. Before moving to NC I was working full time at a top notch dog resort/training facility for over 2 years. There I spent every day handling dog breeds of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am knowledgeable in long-term dog care and am used to caring for high maintenance dogs with special needs such as special diets and strict medication schedules. I have worked with a variety of outstanding trainers and am willing to teach your dog basic obedience commands by using positive reinforcement. I have experience with the Humane Society and have closely observed successful training styles for extreme behavior modification and dog/human reactivity. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your pups special needs and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am also willing to bathe your pup if requested either with my dog shampoo or what you use at home. I am currently living in a a two story home with a large unfenced backyard with a medium sized fenced area for running around/off leash play, and 2 30ft tethers in the front yard. I am home full time throughout the week. I will provide lots of playtime, potty breaks and will adjust to your schedule. I do provide treats, beds, food/water bowls, crates,and toys. I do require you to bring your pups food from home, and provide a copy of their vaccinations. When I do step out for a few hours I crate both of my dogs for the safety of all animals. I can crate your dog upon request, or leave them out as long as they are potty trained and not destructive. I require all dogs boarding or staying for daycare to be vaccinated for Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper, and be on a flea/tick preventative. Please contact me with any and all questions, I look forward to meeting you and your companions!

I hate leaving my dog anywhere and Danielle made it one of the easiest holidays for me! Constant pictures and updates and questions that I very much appreciated! Remi had the best time and I can’t wait for her to go back again! Thanks soooooo much again, one of the best experiences I’ve had boarding my dog

We needed a last minute 4th of July pet sitter and Danielle was the perfect match! Dozer seemed to love her and the time he spent with her kids and other dogs. Can’t recommend her enough!

First time using Danielle and Rover for my 4 cats. She came by 3 times while we were gone and one of my cats took to her immediately! She did what I wanted her to do, clean litter boxes, make sure they had dry, clean water and feed them a can of wet while she was there. I would use her again when we go out of town.

Information Danielle D. would like to know about your pet

Please advise the size, age, and breed of your pet. I use Credilio (flea/tick) on my dogs, and my outdoor cats and require that if your pet is boarding or attending daycare with me that they be on a flea/tick preventative. All of my pets are up to date on their vaccines, I require all boarders/daycare guests to be vaccinated for Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper. For Dogs: Is your dog house or crate trained? Do they enjoy the company of other dogs/ animals? Do they walk well on a leash? Do they get along with most people? What is their favorite toy and treat? What are their dislikes? Have they had any previous training? If so what commands do they know?

A typical day

I have a large unfenced backyard with a small area for the dogs to run freely together, I also have 2 30ft tethers in the front yard. I have several different toys, and treats to keep your pup busy throughout the day. They will receive lots of affection and attention for myself and my family if you are boarding!
