I've been lucky enough to enjoy the company a few dogs over the years with differing needs. I've been the mother of a large and goofy Pyredane whose need for adventure was similar to that of my own. Our favourite walks were at Nose Hill Park and Sue Higgins, and we loved snuggling up on the couch for a movie afterwards (after dinner of course). Wiley had a lot of health issues from the start and was constantly on meds. I dealt with allergies and sensitivities, constant infections and hospitalizations, separation anxiety, hot spots, and bathroom accidents. I spent a lot of time managing her needs so that she would be comfortable. I am familiar with dogs with special needs, meds, and have the patience and skillset to recognize and intervene when they are in distress. I grew up with a cocker spaniel who was a reactive greeter. Charlie wasn't friendly with other dogs so we leash-walked him and had to anticipate his needs before he could react. Because of this I am well-versed in dog behaviour and body language, and what to do in a crisis. I've also taken care of my family's active labradoodle Charlie #2 (creative, right?) Charlie is the happiest, friendliest, and easiest dog I have taken care of, and he is super social and bubbly. I take care of him on and off when my family is away. He is a very active and happy puppy.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am fine if your pup feels comfortable sleeping in the same room/on the bed, and I'm also fine if they need to stay in their crate/kennel. I’m comfortable administering medications, managing special diets, and caring for dogs with chronic conditions or anxiety. I’m also very familiar with dog body language and how to calmly handle tense situations. Whether your pup is crate-trained, prefers their own bed, or likes sleeping nearby, I’ll stick to what they’re used to so they feel secure.
Ratings and reviews
Danielle had house and dog Sat for us a couple time now. She is always great and really cares about the dogs.
Danielle was a wonderful sitter. I had her stay over at my place for a full week to watch my cat Jules over the holidays. She provided daily updates and sent photos and videos. It was quite clear that Jules had taken a liking to her and was very affectionate in the videos. This was my first time leaving for an extended period, so this really eased any anxiety I had. I will likely utilize Danielle's service in the future and would certainly recommend her to other owners.
Danielle did a great job looking after our 2 older dogs. She was very sensitive to their needs and they were very relaxed and happy with her. Would definitely use again.
This is the 3rd time we have used Danielle, her communication was great. Updates everyday and was transparent with all questions I asked. She was also flexible when my plans changed. I absolutely will be working with Danielle again.
Danielle was amazing! She stayed at our home for three days and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we returned, and she kept the dogs active and happy the entire time. She was especially patient and attentive with our senior dog, who has quite a few limitations, and managed his needs with so much care and understanding. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I’ll definitely be having her back again — highly recommend!
Danielle was amazing. She loved our fur babies and they loved her. Even the cat warmes up. We came home to happy healthy pets.

Schedule
You can count on me to meet your pet's needs, and give them a sense of safety and security. I am very cuddly and interactive with animals. They will feel very loved and attended to. I just finished Nursing school and I'm working 3 days a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friend. When I'm not at home, I'm out for a walk or a run, or visiting friends who love having dog gatherings. Although they may miss you a lot, I can assure you that your fur babies will feel loved and cared for and have a lot of fun with me on our adventures. If they need to spend time away from other dogs, that's okay too, I can be flexible in my routine. I can do whatever, just depends on what you want. I can do on leash or off leash walks, dog park socialization, play time etc... You let me know what works for you!
