Cats are my specialty!

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME I offer drop in visits for cats and other small mammals and birds. I offer 30-60 minute exercise focused walks for dogs. My pet care business is Delightful Pet Care LLC. I am independently insured and bonded, licensed by the city of St Petersburg, and independently background checked by Accutraq as recently as July 2023. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid and I am a certified Fear Free Pet Sitter. I have completed over 1000 services on Rover and through my own professional pet sitting business since 7/2020. These services have been mostly with cats and a few rabbits, Guinea pigs, birds and fish. Dogs have been up to 25% of my clientele in the past and currently make up about 10%. I completed over 800 services (mostly dog walks) via another pet care platform between 12/2019 and 12/2020 Most of those services have been for dogs and the rest have been for cats. DROP IN VISITS FOR CATS, SMALL MAMMALS AND BIRDS Cats are my favorite - I have four of my own! I also provide drop in visits and have experience in caring for fish, birds and other small mammals. I specialize in cats and have extensive experience with senior cats and cats on medication. I am also very experienced in caring for multiple animal households. I have had multiple cats for over 20 years, including those with special needs and super senior cats. I am very good with kittens and cats of all ages. I will provide whatever level of attention your kitty needs! I have taken care of up to 10 cats at one time. I am experienced in basic medical care for both cats and dogs, including administration of medication (oral, topical and injected) and subcutaneous fluids, wound care, nutritional care, and monitoring of current illnesses. As a professional pet sitter, I always do my very best to accommodate every request. A meet and greet is not required, but is highly suggested and is a complimentary service. I do not provide care or boarding in my home at this time. Care will be provided in and around your home. I will incorporate your cats’ favorite toys and other mental enrichment activities per your request during visits. EXERCISE FOCUSED WALKS FOR DOGS From January through May 2024, I’m offering 30-60 minute, active, brisk walks for high energy dogs! The weather is perfect for walking and it will be an absolute treat for your high energy dog to have some extra outside time and exercise to supplement their current routine. I’ve been walking dogs for a few years now and I’m active and fit. I’m a certified movement teacher (Pilates, aerial yoga, acro yoga), which helps me to walk dogs safely and with ease. With a motivated dog, I can walk up to three miles in an hour. I offer exercise focused dog walks Monday - Friday from 10:30 am - 3:30 pm. Care will be provided in your neighborhood.

I don’t have words to describe how grateful I am to Danielle. She was so good to my fuzz babies. They both like her. When one of them had a medical emergency she contacted me and knew exactly where to go. He received treatment with 20-30 min. Even though she had a full schedule of pets to care for, she too all the time needed to care for my cats when they were in distress. Danielle is a gift!

Danielle is the best! So kind to my kitties and leaves the best updates, with pictures. Seeing them always helps put a smile on my face and leaves me reassured that they’re doing well. I can rest easy knowing my girls are safe and in good hands any time I am gone!

I appreciate Danielle so much. She was very patient with my shy guy and he warmed up quickly. My friendly girl too to her immediately. When I came home they were happy, healthy, a relaxed. Danielle daily reports were great. I highly recommend her and will be working with her again.

Danielle was great as ever. Very thorough and plays with my cats. Detailed notes on every check in. I recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies taken care of by a professional trustworthy person.

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to “leave no trace” in client homes, so that my clients can relax and enjoy their pets when they return home from their time away. I am very careful when entering and exiting client homes to prevent pet escapees and I am extremely security conscious.

Information Danielle L. would like to know about your pet

Please provide any feeding, medication and/or special instructions and I will make sure they are followed exactly as you wish. Does your cat have food allergies? Can they have treats? What is your pet’s energy level? What kinds of activities would you like for us to do? What is your pet’s temperament? Are they shy and need some time to warm up? Where would you like for me to dispose of scooped litter? Are there any routes you don’t want me to take during exercise focused dog walks? Does your dog ever display any reactivity on walks?

A typical day

I strive to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and I pride myself on making sure they are happy and calm while you’re away. I typically attend to litter boxes once a day, unless you prefer otherwise. I make sure your cat is fed and water refreshed as per their normal routine. I will provide physical exercise and mental enrichment as you request. I will clean up pet related messes to the best of my ability. I make sure that your cat gets lots of affection and attention during every visit. I’m very good at getting shy cats to warm up to me and I’m sensitive and adaptable to all temperaments. If your cat is very shy and stressed out by new people, I make every effort to find them, take a quick picture and video and then let them have their space. Included in my services are the following house related tasks: - bring in mail and packages - Take trash/recycling to the curb and bring empty cans back up to the house - Open/close blinds - Alternate lights on and off - Water indoor plants
