I have actively watched friends and family dogs and cats for years and now I want to be able to help others who are looking for a reliable animal lover. I have skills in training puppies, taking care of adult dogs/cats, and helping with senior dogs/cats (including administering medication). I have a fenced in back yard and a one story house. I don’t mind if animals are on my furniture or my bed. Below is the story on how I decided I wanted to start working with Rover. Hi my name is Danielle. I’ve been an animal lover all my life but buying my very own dog when I went to college really amplified my love for all furry friends. I had a Papillon dog named Grizzly and he truly was my soul dog. I also found a litter of kittens in college and had to bottle feed them. I kept one of the kittens and still have him today. His name is Nugget and he’s a gentle senior cat who is obsessed with laying on my lap and drooling as I pet his head. I believe pets need friends so shortly after getting Grizz I bought a Bichpoo puppy and named him Diddy. I only had him for a few years before he accidentally got out and was sadly hit by a car. My heart and Grizzly’s heart were shattered, to say the least! I had to get another puppy friend for Grizzly and for me. That is where my current dog, Pepper, comes into play. Pepper is a Bichon and a perfect little princess. Grizzly and Pepper got used to eachother and became the best of friends too. Shortly after Pepper came into our life my baby Grizzly was diagnosed with diabetes. I had to change feed schedules and also give him 2 insulin injections each day. During that time he also became blind, which is a side effect of diabetes in animals. My whole entire life revolved around Grizzly and I’m grateful for the time I had with him. Unfortunately, he crossed over the rainbow bridge and I miss him daily. After Pepper turned two I decided I was going to breed her with a toy poodle. She successfully delivered 6 puppies in my home. I helped raise her puppies till they were 9 weeks old. During that time they were socialized with other dogs, cats, kids, and adults. I even helped potty train them before they went to their forever homes. I also ended up keeping one of the puppies and named her Chili. She’s the cutest! So, in my house I have a son, 2 dogs, and a cat. I hope I can help you with whatever pet needs you have. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby/babies!!
