Hello! My name is Danielle and there's really no other way to say this-dogs are my favourite part of life! I’ve just moved to Pickering and am looking to build up my Doggie Roster. Please feel free to reach out for a chat or meet and greet! I was lucky enough to have 3 Golden Retrievers growing up and 1 Old English Bulldog in my life, but currently have an empty nest. Nothing in the world makes me happier than dogs and I promise to go above and beyond in every way for your beloved family member<3 I’ve dog sat all of my friend’s dogs (just not through the app) for years, walked lots of neighbours dogs, done drop in visits to dogs who are alone for most of the day. Something unique about my dog boarding is that your dog will be the ONLY one in my home. I only take multiple dogs if they are from the same family or already know each other. This means that all of the attention will be on your baby and they’ll get the VIP service! Most other sitters either have their own dog, or accept multiple bookings at the same time! I am doing this full time. I do not have a remote job, so I am doting on your dog every minute of the day 🥰 I have lots of games and activities to keep your pup stimulated and go on multiple walks a day as well as ample playtime in my backyard. All dogs are allowed on my big comfy couch, and they can sleep in our bed if that is what makes them comfortable. I have a huge window where dogs love to sit and watch the action happen all day. I understand dogs and their needs. I’m detail oriented, loving, and thoughtful and would be honoured to watch your dogs if you give me the chance 😊 I have a large fenced backyard, but I always go outside with them to be extra safe. We live on the first floor of a bungalow and there are four steps at the front door and going down from the deck (noted for senior pups). I live two minutes away from an off leash dog park. I only go if it is empty, as it is hard to trust that everyone else’s dogs are well behaved. I also have lots of trails nearby and am a 15 minute walk down to the water! I’m also quite the photographer and have had pet parents print and frame the pictures I’ve taken of their pups! Expect some beautiful pictures and videos when I give updates which are very regularly. Please note that I live with my husband as some dogs are not comfortable with men. He was a golden retriever in a past life and dogs who are normally scared of men adore him😆
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maya’s overnight went very well. Danielle was attentive to our dog’s needs and kept us updated throughout the stay. We appreciate it so much because it gave us the mental peace to know she is well taken care of. I will book Danielle again!
Danielle was exceptional. The care and love she showed to our home and pet was so honest and thoughtful. I feel lucky to have found her!
Danielle and her husband are incredible people and took a last-minute booking for my dog. She answered almost immediately, which was very helpful for me to finalize my plans. Their house is spacious and clean and I appreciated that the kitchen was blocked off. The big backyard was amazing as my dog has lots of energy and enjoyed the zoomies there, I got a lot of adorable videos and pictures of that. My dog is also incredibly nervous around new people, but acted calmer than expected when I dropped him off. He especially does not like other men other than me, but he was completely fine with her husband. They have good energy I can tell. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Thank you kindly Danielle!
Danielle was excellent. I was nervous leaving Romeo, and he hasn’t been left with someone he doesn’t know yet (and he is a silly, goofy boy), so I was nervous. She communicated well before and during Romeo’s visit. Romeo had an absolute blast with her. He got so much exercise, he wasn’t left alone, and he absolutely thrived with her. I’m so thankful knowing Romeo was safe and well cared for.
My dog is always excited to see Danielle. I feel confident leaving my dog with her. You can tell by the way she speaks about and to dogs that she really loves and cares about them. I also appreciate that she stays with the dog the whole time and, from the sound of it, gives them lots of attention
Danielle was amazing with our Dog, Maya. She really took the time to not only comfort our dog as she was anxious being dropped off. But also, gave us constant updates on how she was doing to ease our minds as well. Thank you for taking care of Maya like she was your own. We will be back!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am physically fit and have years of experience taking care of a wide variety of dogs. I never have my guard down and understand how dogs think and act to see things ahead of time. I always err on the side of caution.
A typical day
Since I am always at home, I usually take the dog out every two hours either in the backyard or for a quick walk. My goal is to tire out your pup so that they have an amazing sleep at night! I like to play games that enrich their minds, like hiding toys/treats and teaching them how to find it, teaching them new tricks, and utilizing enrichment toys. I live around ample lush green parks and right by the water in a very quiet area. Depending on the dog’s physical needs, I love to take long, slow walks so that they can get their sniffs in, which is like them scrolling social media/reading the news 😆
