Information Danielle M. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time, I would like to be informed of the animals quirks and even specific routines you take when coming out of kennel, leashing, walks or car rides. I would also like to know your general area in which you usually walk them.

A typical day

When I spend time with your animals, we can go on walks, do enriching exercises or we could refresh on training. Even just sit around and bond and really get to know each other

Pet care experience

I specialize in medical animal care, and special needs clients. I know a lot of basic injury/ER care treatments and you can feel safe with your special needs babies in my care 💕 Starting at very young, before I could even say it correctly, I was always excited to tell people that I wanted to be a "vegetarian" (Veterinarian)! I started taking care of my aunts animals and her "zoo" when I was about 7 years old, 3 times a year. She knew others who needed animal care, feeding brushing walking, ect, and I began taking care of others' animals as well for years! Continued with this all throughout the time that I waitresses, but few years later got a job as a doggy day care attendant. Which put me into the position of a groomer a year later, and then even a dog trainer the next year. I now work at an after hours animal ER and as a Veterinarians assistant. I really do believe you can fully trust me with your animals, as I've been doing it for years. It makes me nervous putting my own animals in others care, but I would trust myself 10 times over!

Danielle was kind, communicative and reliable while doing drop-in visits for my 7 month old puppy, and I was very pleased with her services. Unfortunately, during his first boarding stay in her home while we were on vacation, he sustained a broken leg. While I do not believe this was intentional, it was a serious injury and I feel that closer supervision and additional safety precautions could have prevented it. I would recommend that anyone booking have a detailed discussion about supervision and safety measures beforehand.

We felt comfortable leaving Nahko with Danielle. She had other dogs there and he was having fun before we even left. She sent us videos over the weekend and Nahko came home exhausted from playing all weekend. We will definitely be using Danielle again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Danielle did a good job watching my dog. She gave different food when she wouldn't eat her own. She let her go in and out when she was bored. She goes above and beyond what is expected. I would highly recommend.
