Pet care experience

Experienced sitter new to Rover!

Hi, I'm Danny! I work part-time as a dog handler at a local daycare and have 10 years of experience caring for animals professionally through dog walking and pet sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are our family and I'm intentional about providing them with the genuine love and care they deserve. I provide reliable daily walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting, and boarding tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Managing dogs and cats of all temperaments daily has taught me exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I am fully insured and First Aid/CPR certified, and I promise to treat your pet like one of my own!

Dog Walking • Oct 04, 2026

Danielle was an incredible help with a very last minute booking. She was professional, polite, and friendly throughout the entire process. My dog absolutely loved her, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely book with Danielle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.

Danny is the absolute best for watching your fur babies! She was a long time sitter for us and would always send us photos of them with every visit which was huge for me! She was very communicative for feedings and even house sat for us when we needed it. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!

I've known Danny for a long time and I see how well she cares for dogs, both her own and others. She always makes sure they remain happy by taking them out for walks, engaging with them during play time, and letting them nap with lots of pets and cuddles throughout the day. She maintains excellent communication with clients as well and is very reliable when completing the feeding notes and any other special services an older dog may require. If you need a loving, attentive, responsible person for your dog (no matter the breed), she truly is one of the best caretakers I've met and I highly recommend her for future services!

Danielle was the best pet sitter we've ever had, and we have missed her ever since she moved away! She is communicative, reliable, and attentive, giving our kitties so much love and attention! She would always send pictures, and even would house sit in addition to kittie-sit if we had extended trips away! We could not recommend her more!

I’m so incredibly grateful to Danielle for taking such wonderful care of my sweet Midna! 🥹❤️ Leaving your pet with someone is never easy, but Danielle made me feel completely at ease. She was so sweet, patient, and attentive with Midna, and I could tell from the updates that she was giving her lots of love and attention while I was away. Coming home to a happy, relaxed kitty meant the absolute world to me. 🐈‍⬛💕 Danielle treated Midna like she was her own, and that’s something I’ll always appreciate. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have Danielle watch Midna again. We’re so lucky to have found her! 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. On walks, I focus on enjoying safe, fun exercise and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-ins and in-home sitting, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll also send daily photos and report cards so that you have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet gets a day tailored to their personality, energy level, and routine. I love taking dogs on relaxed neighborhood walks, exploring new routes, getting some playtime in, and taking silly photos for your daily pet report! For lower-energy pets, we can hang out at home, play indoors, or just relax together with some extra cuddles and attention. My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
