I love dogs like they are my own!
Pet care experience
I am an animal lover to the core! I have always been the crazy dog lady! I have always had dogs in my life I would not want it any other way. I walked dogs in Arlington for over four years. Many of my clients families become friends and like family to me! Dogs have always been very important to me. They even were my reason I went to school for photography! I love photographing my clients and finding new ways to photograph Why I love dog walking and sitting? I have had dogs all my life. When I moved to Northern Virginia and I immediately knew I wanted to walk dogs or do anything with dogs! Since then I have been walking dogs for over 8 years! I can administer medication and have been certified in the past in animal first aid/cpr.
Reviews
This was the third time Danielle sat for us. She is wonderful! She treats the dogs with love, is able and knowledgeable when dealing with older pups or those that need special care, is trustworthy, and in general goes above and beyond.
This was Danielle’s first house sitting for us, and she did a fantastic job—with our older GSD, Kodiak, who is recovering from recent surgery; with our energetic Bernedoodle pup, Asher; and in taking care of the house while we were gone. She loves animals, and they respond in kind. She is attentive on the details of their care. She corresponded with us frequently, with great pics, to let us know the pups were doing well, and also to ask any questions that came up. And she left the house (at least) as tidy as we’d left it. We already have booked her for future sittings.
Danielle did a great job taking care of my kitties. They really enjoyed her visits.
Danielle was absolutely amazing with the love and care she had for our senior dog. We had very very special needs and she went way above and beyond for our boy Casey. I would be honored to refer her

Skills
Information Danielle M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know all the house rules! Does the dog sleep in the bed? What are the dogs normal sleeping and peeing times? How much food does the dog get and does he gets into anything? Any quirks that I should be aware of? Are there treats/toys the dog shouldn't have? What areas of the house is the dog allowed? Anything and everything so I can make my stay go as smoothly as possible!
A typical day
Walks will be on your normal schedule, with extras and park visits, per your request! If you'd like your dog to go for hikes or the dog park, I'm happy to accommodate.
