Additionally, I have worked in two animal hospitals over the passed 15 years (Chatham Animal and Trinity Animal). I am a groomer of 24 years and LOVE my job. I work from home and am able to offer round the clock care for any guest, boarding. Also, I am insured and bonded.

It was our first experience with Danielle. She was very professional, very responsive with her communications. She was very caring and loving towards our 4 year old German Shepherd. We felt very confident from the moment we left and till pickup that our pet was in safe hands. We would highly recommend her services to any and all pet owners who are looking for dedicated home care for their furry kids. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DANIELLE!

Danielle , is one of the nicesest , sweetest & loving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting . Her love for animals is so evident by the way the animals respond to her . She takes such great care of our dogs. When we lost our Maci last year she was there with kind words and love. She’s the kind of girl that is just a joy to be around & even the animals feel her love . We totally trust her with our precious Fur babies and highly recommend her 🐶

I won’t trust anyone but Dani to watch my doodle. Dani is one of the very few people I could trust with my fur babies life and having her in our life is such a relief! It’s so hard to find someone you absolutely trust and genuinely know will take such good care of your pet, genuinely enjoy spending time with them, and know they are cared for just as well as you care for them. I will forever only trust Dani and couldn’t recommend her enough! I’m shocked she hasn’t been booked up yet and I will be booking her in advance after writing this review. Thank you for being family to us and loving our fur baby like she’s your own! Technically you are family now anyway :) Rover is SO lucky to have you!!

My dog loves her. Great environment well taken care of and also gets a bath and hair cut while he's there. Also gives updates while gone

Danielle is hands down the person I’d recommend most to watch your fur baby. She’s known my pup since he was 8 weeks old and remains one of his favorite people even today at 3 years old. Remy (my pup) turns his head and gets overly excited to see her! Not only is Danielle fantastic with animals (honestly all; not even just dogs), but she also is ALWAYS sure to keep you updated with notes and photos. It makes being away from your pup that much easier knowing she’s there to look after them! If you need someone reliable, who loves your dog like their own, and makes you feel comfortable, Danielle is your girl!!
