Pet care experience
Loved Until You're Home
Hi, I'm Dani! I've always believed the world is a little softer because animals are in it. I've spent years caring for pets of every kind through professional pet sitting and my background in veterinary medicine, and somewhere along the way, I realized there isn't much that makes me happier than earning an animal's trust. Whether they're the fearless adventurer who can't wait for a walk, the anxious soul who needs someone patient beside them, or the senior whose favorite hobby is finding the warmest patch of sunlight, I love getting to know them exactly as they are. As a professional photographer by trade, I tend to notice the little things. The happy dance before dinner. The goofy grin after a game of fetch. The slow blink from a cat who's finally decided you're worthy of their friendship. So don't be surprised if your updates include a few frame-worthy portraits along the way. I can't help myself. My priority is never just checking off a to-do list. It's preserving your pet's routine, respecting their personality, and making sure they feel safe, enriched, and genuinely loved until you're home again. Whether that means long walks, muddy adventures, enrichment games, medication schedules, or simply sharing a quiet afternoon on the couch, I'll meet them where they are. I know what it feels like to leave a piece of your heart in someone else's hands. That's exactly why I care the way I do. My hope is simple: that when you walk back through your front door, your pet is happy, your home is just as you left it, and you never once had to wonder if they were being cared for. I'd be honored to love your best friend like one of my own.

Ratings and reviews
Danielle stepped in for us at the last minute for drop in visits when our original sitter canceled. She was really great with our pup! She was punctual, patient, friendly, and sent plenty of photos and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!
Danielle has dog/house sat for me multiple times. She, hands down, is the best sitter I have had. On a couple occasions I called last minute yet she happily accepted and fixed her own personal schedule. She is an animal lover and a very nice, caring person. She consistently walked and fed my dog, and even went out of her way to bathe her! Upon my returns my dog is always very happy seemed she didn't want Danielle to leave! Not to mention my house was cleaner then when I left it! In conclusion if your looking for a top notch dog-sitter then look no further! Danielle is punctual, responsible, caring, and all round animal lover and a good person. you will not be disappointed!
Danielle is by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our three boys. All my dogs are rescues, which means they all come with their own quirks and needs, and Danielle handles it like a pro, and trust me, with my needy pack that is not an easy task. Not only does she provide the most loving care and attention to your fur babies, but she goes above and beyond. One time while watching our dogs for our anniversary, Danielle took a professional photo shoot of each of our dogs to surprise us, which are still today are favorite pictures of our babies. Anytime I need a dog sitter, I know exactly where to turn to, and that is Danielle. I am telling you, you won’t be disappointed!
Danielle has watched my VERY energetic dog a few times overnight. She loves dogs and has her own furbaby, so she knows how important they are. She has a great attitude, followed my instructions well and communicated if there was anything missing. If you're lucky, she'll snap some awesome photos of your pup and send them your way for reassurance :)

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I intentionally plan my calendar well in advance. I balance several freelance roles, so staying organized is second nature to me. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly, which means if my profile shows that I'm available, you can trust that I've set aside the time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is intentionally dog-friendly, with a spacious, securely fenced backyard that's perfect for zoomies, exploring, and soaking up the sunshine. We have a doggie door for easy outdoor access, bubble windows built into the fence for the cutest neighborhood watch imaginable, and a wonderful neighborhood filled with peaceful walking trails for safe daily adventures. Even my furniture is pet friendly because I believe dogs should feel at home, not like they're tiptoeing around someone else's. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any house rules you've established because I know those familiar routines help pets feel safe, comfortable, and confident while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet has their own version of a perfect day, and my goal is to give them exactly that. Whether it's a long adventure, enrichment games, a stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, or a cozy afternoon of belly rubs and naps, I tailor every visit to their personality and routine. Along the way, you'll receive thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, loved, and in good hands!
