Pet care experience
I have held a lifelong dedication to animals and extensive hands-on experience. Growing up, I've always had pets in my home, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I've adopted and rescued both young and old dogs, providing them with love, care, and a forever home. My experience includes training dogs, administering medications, and offering compassionate end-of-life care. Recently, I stayed by my beloved fur baby's side until she crossed the rainbow bridge, reaffirming my commitment to providing unconditional love and support to animals. While I may not be able to adopt another pet at the moment, my passion for animals remains unwavering. Additionally, my involvement with a self-run non-profit stray rescue has equipped me with invaluable skills in handling and caring for dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. My genuine love for animals and extensive experience make me a trustworthy and compassionate choice as a pet sitter.
Reviews
We booked Danielle for a drop in visit and would definitely book again. She was so great with our two pups, listened to our requests and kept us informed the whole time. Highly recommend ☺️
Danielle is literally the best person I could have chose to watch my babies. She’s sweet and understanding and the pups love her. There wasn’t any time that I had any doubt in her ability to give quality care and live to babies. 10/10
It is my first time leaving my dog with someone and I couldn’t find someone better! Danielle keep me up to date with my dog all the time. that’s makes me calm. She send me pictures of my dog, and he loves her like she is part of my family. He was really happy. I would recommend Danielle to everyone, she is very responsable and communicative, she tries to make your pet feels like home when you’re not there. I would definitely leave my dog with her again for sure.
Danielle was very good with Trixie. I felt very comfortable leaving Trix with Danielle.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being above all else. Here's how I approach pet care: 1. **In-Home Care:** If pets are staying in my home, I provide a warm and inviting environment where they can feel at ease. This includes designated areas for rest, play, and meals. I adhere to their usual routines as much as possible to minimize stress and ensure a smooth transition. Regular walks, play sessions, and cuddle time are incorporated into their daily schedule. I also maintain open communication with pet parents, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. 2. **Client's Home Care:** When caring for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain a familiar and comfortable environment for them. I follow the pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and playtime. I ensure that the home is kept clean and tidy, and I respect any specific instructions provided by the pet parents regarding care, training, or medication administration. Communication with the pet parents is key, and I provide regular updates on their pet's well-being and activities while they're away. Overall, whether in my home or my client's home, my approach to pet care is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. I prioritize their happiness and safety above all else, ensuring that they receive the highest level of care and attention during their time with me.

Information Danielle L. would like to know about your pet
1. **Health and Medical History:** Any known medical conditions, allergies, or special dietary requirements should be disclosed. Information about current medications, vaccinations, and emergency contact details for their veterinarian is essential in case of any health concerns or emergencies. 2. **Behavioral Traits:** Understanding the pet's temperament, likes, dislikes, fears, and any behavioral quirks can help me provide appropriate care and avoid potential triggers or stressors. This includes information about their socialization with other animals and people, as well as any specific training or commands they respond to. 3. **Daily Routine:** Knowing the pet's typical daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, bathroom habits, and preferred sleeping arrangements, allows me to maintain continuity and minimize disruption to their normal schedule. 4. **Emergency Procedures:** Clear instructions on what to do in case of emergencies, including who to contact and any specific protocols for handling medical emergencies or unexpected situations, are crucial for the pet's safety and well-being. 5. **House Rules and Preferences:** Any specific rules, preferences, or restrictions related to the pet's care, such as areas of the house they're allowed in, prohibited activities, or preferred walking routes, should be communicated in advance to ensure a smooth and comfortable stay for both the pet and myself. By gathering this important information ahead of time, I can provide personalized and attentive care that meets the individual needs of each pet and gives pet parents peace of mind while they're away.
A typical day
I believe in tailoring activities to the unique personalities and preferences of each pet I watch, but here are some fun activities that I commonly enjoy with furry companions: 1. **Outdoor Adventures:** Depending on the pet's energy level and preferences, we might go for leisurely walks around the neighborhood, hikes in nearby parks or trails, or even trips to a dog-friendly beach or lake for some splashy fun. 2. **Playtime:** Engaging in interactive play sessions with toys such as balls, frisbees, tug-of-war ropes, or puzzle toys not only provides physical exercise but also stimulates their minds and strengthens our bond. 3. **Training Sessions:** Training can be both mentally stimulating and rewarding for pets. Whether it's teaching basic obedience commands, practicing fun tricks, or working on agility activities, training sessions can be a great way to keep pets engaged and mentally sharp. 4. **Enrichment Activities:** Setting up scavenger hunts, puzzle feeders, or DIY obstacle courses in the backyard or indoors can provide mental stimulation and challenge their problem-solving skills. 5. **Cuddle Time:** Sometimes, pets just want to relax and enjoy some quality snuggle time together. Whether it's lounging on the couch, cuddling up for a nap, or giving gentle pets and belly rubs, I'm always up for some cozy bonding time. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that pets are happy, engaged, and enjoying themselves while in my care. By providing a variety of stimulating and enjoyable activities, I aim to make their time with me as fun and fulfilling as possible.
