Pet care experience
College graduate, canine enthusiast, yogini, and amateur photographer. If you're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced dog sitter, at an affordable price, I'm your gal! I have had 9 years of personal experience working with dogs, 2 years of experience volunteering for dog shelters, and have programmed several Therapy Dog programs for freshmen in their first year of college. I am a firm believer in the comfort dogs can bring to people and would love to help others take care of their dogs. I'm great at walking, playing, feeding, picking up after and generally caring for all kinds of dogs. Ever since I was 9, I've helped look after our family dog, Milo until I graduated high school. Why I love dog sitting As long as I can remember! I spent 10 years of my life caring for my beloved Goldendoodle, Milo who passed away due to lymphoma this past November. Although his passing took a toll on my family, it has encouraged me to train my next puppy to become a Therapy Dog to help spread the same comfort my dog brought our family to other people and families.

Danielle was very responsive and attentive to my dogs! They were content and happy when I returned. So much so they wanted to follow Danielle home! Also our home was neat as we left it and she took in our mail and packages which was a big plus so we didn't have to worry. I'd highly recommend Danielle to watch your pets. Thanks again Danielle!
Danielle took good care of my dog and I would use her again.
My wife refers to my dog as my son so you can imagine how important he is to me. Trying to find someone to take care of him for 3 weeks was a challenge. Thank goodness I was able to find Danielle; she was fantastic throughout the whole process. Her responses were timely, thorough, and cheerful. I was able to get updates and she asked the appropriate questions when necessary to take better care of him. She even gave him a bath on the day we were picking him up!
It was the first time that Platon was going to be with a sitter, and, since we were going to be out of town 10 days, I was really nervous and worried about that! I wrote Danielle an email to check out her availability and she was really friendly and nice. We met the day after to introduce Platon and her each other, they got along since the firt moment! So I decided to become Danielle our pet sitter. I only can say good things about Danielle and her family, all of them were so polite, kind, well manner and affectionate with Platon that I only wish that Danielle was available always! :) She sent me a lot of pictures of Platon and videos - almost every day, I did appreciate that- as well and she answered my text very quickly. Their house is big and they have a nice backyard, which Platon enjoyed a lot. A really important thing was that Platon pooped as if he were with me, which is really important and it shows how comfortable Platon was with her. They had a dog and you can tell they love animals and know how to deal and treat them. Platon never was alone and the most impressive thing was that Danielle taught Platon to obey commands, such as sitting or giving the hand!! It was amazing when I saw that and that means that they spent a lot of time with my boy. So, once again, thank you so so much! You are great!
