Pet care experience
20+ Years of Animal Care Experience
Animals have been my passion since I was a kid, and they've been a big part of my life since then (as you can tell from my pictures!) With over 20 years of experience as a zookeeper, veterinary assistant, pet sitter, and dog walker, I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, exotic pets, and farm animals. I offer hands-on professional experience, a strong understanding of animal behavior and health, and genuine love for every animal I meet. I’m experienced in administering medications and providing specialized care, according to the needs of your individual furry family member. I live in LaGrange with my husband and our own crew of pets, and I’m here whenever you need someone to give your pets the love, attention, and professional care they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Danielle did a great job taking care of Holly while we were away. She followed the detailed care instructions I provided closely, including Holly's feeding routine and Hydracare, and asked questions upfront to clarify anything she wasn't sure about. She showed up at the same time every day and reliably handled everything — food, litter, and Holly's overall care. She also sent daily, detailed updates along with pictures, which we really appreciated. Holly is 17, so I was a little concerned she'd be uneasy with someone new, but she looked completely comfortable with Danielle, which put me at ease. Danielle also spent extra time with her during visits, which I think helped keep her calm and settled while we were gone. We'd definitely use Danielle again if we need a sitter in the future — highly recommend her!
Danielle is absolutely terrific !!! She takes great care of the cat. She’s pleasant and responsible and really cares about animals.
Danielle is such a thorough, communicative, and attentive care giver to our cat! We are so grateful for how she plays and cuddles with our cat. We definitely recommend Danielle for your animal supports!
Danielle was absolutely terrific! Clearly Sqeezy loved her and I loved her too. She was responsible and really cared for squeezy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their cat taken care of.
Fantastic pet sitter! The best! ❤️
We appreciated all the photos and seeing that our boy was being taken good care of while we were out!
