Highlights
Pet care experience
Future Vet, Trusted Sitter
I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and assisting with daily pet care needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. As someone planning to continue pursuing veterinary medicine, I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive to routines and instructions, and I treat every pet like my own.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. My experience as a vet tech has helped me stay calm and observant, so I can quickly notice if something seems off with a pet’s behavior or health. I also make sure the home stays secure by double-checking doors, gates, and leashes during walks. I respect the client’s space by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Most importantly, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and stress-free by giving them patience, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
Danielle is kind and reliable- she was absolutely wonderful with Ares! She followed all of his care instructions carefully, including keeping his activity level low while he recovered, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Ares had a good day while still getting the extra care and rest he needed.
Danielle is absolutely amazing with our puppy, Ares! She takes such good care of him and strictly sticks to his established routine. She is reliable, attentive, and has good communication. Highly recommend!🐾
Danielle took excellent care of my pets. Took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the stay. My pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely book with her again

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already have a flexible schedule and a strong background working with animals. I’m typically available before and after my classes/work shifts, as well as on weekends, which allows me to consistently provide morning, midday, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. Because I previously worked as a vet tech for, I’m used to structuring my day around animal care responsibilities like feeding schedules, medication times, walks, and monitoring behavior. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can easily adjust my routine to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention.

- Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to understand their daily routine, feeding schedule, dietary needs, and any medications they take, including exact timing and instructions. I also like to know their behavior patterns, personality traits, and any triggers they may have, such as anxiety, aggression, or fear of loud noises or strangers. It’s also helpful to know how they do on walks or with leash behavior, whether they are allowed on furniture, and what their comfort level is with being alone. For cats, I pay attention to litter box habits, hiding spots, and social preferences. For dogs, I look for information about energy level, exercise needs, and social behavior with other dogs or people. Because I have vet tech experience, I also take special note of any past or current medical conditions, emergency vet contact information, and what is considered “normal” for that specific pet so I can quickly recognize if something seems off. My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
