Pet care experience
My name is Danielle (or Elle!). I am a Social Psychology PhD student at Loyola University Chicago and currently live in Lakeview East with my fiancé. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes Rover the perfect fit for me. I grew up in the Twin Cities and helped care for two stubborn but playful beagles named Lou and Lilly. As a kid, I also had a cat, tortoise, and several fish. In August 2017, I joined Rover and over the years I have been able to care for many wonderful cats and dogs. I am finally living in a space that will allow us to rescue our own dog, but am grateful for this opportunity to grow in my knowledge and love of animals while providing a service to help pet owners throughout the city. Ultimately, my priority is ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and safe in my care. Therefore, I appreciate any and all instructions (even printouts!) to help me provide the best care possible. Please let the know if there are any training commands you are working on, too, as I have experience co-training clients' puppies. Note that I typically will request a meet-and-greet prior to booking. I may also ask you to provide your general location (i.e., cross-streets) to ensure I am able to meet your needs. I am excited to meet you and your pet(s) - please let me know if you have any questions!
Reviews
So sweet and helpful!
Thank you Danielle! As always, super responsive and sweet.
I'm so grateful to have Danielle care for my dog over the years. She's been a consistent source of relief and comfort when I travel and it's clear that my dog loves her. I couldn't ask for better service!
Danielle was great! Very responsive and took perfect care of my dog.
About Danielle K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer daycare or boarding, so I will follow whatever safety guidelines you have in place in your own home. Please let me know if there are potential concerns or things that your pet is not allowed to do (or go) so that I can be mindful of this.
Information Danielle K. would like to know about your pet
Are there any situations that make your dog anxious? How do you manage potential anxiety or reactivity (i.e., to other people, animals, sounds, locations)? What is your dog's typical routine? Are they alone during the day or night? Do they eat/go out at set times?
A typical day
I love walking to the lake or different parks in the area. I am comfortable taking your dog to the dog park if that is something you would like, too!
Services
Danielle can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home, but may have the occasional meeting or appointment. For the most part, I am able to work drop-ins and walks into my schedule, but it helps to know what the general schedule looks like for your pet so that I can try my best to follow their existing routine.
