Pet care experience

I’ll care of your dog or cat!

I hold caring for your dog and/or cat with the upmost importance. With that said I have many years experience with raising my dogs (German Shepard and Puggle), cats and other animals (sheep, donkeys, rabbits, fish) for most of my life. I pride myself on their excellent health and overall wellness. I practice the Positive Reinforcement philosophy of animal care. In my professional experience, I am on the Board of Directors of a local rescue where I care for dogs and cats and have animal fostering experience. I lead the Dog Enrichment Team and coordinate our rescue dogs outings to dog friendly spots in town, parks, and the beach as well as train volunteers. I will send you written updates throughout my visit through your preferred method of communication with photos as needed. Setting up a meet and greet anytime prior to providing care can be arranged so I may be introduced to your dog or cat and discuss with you your pets needs for my visit. With your preferences in mind, your dog will be in good hands ensuring your pet is happy, healthy and having a safe and fun time when you are away. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet in the near future! I have volunteered from 2019-present at the local rescue where I am on the Board of Directors and have been trained in an array of pet care skills including animal behavior, administering medication, basic dog training, proper cleaning methods, and enrichment lifestyles for both cats and dogs.

Dog Walking • Nov 23, 2025

Danielle is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. Bean loves her and he always learns better skills when he’s with her. Always professional. Recommend her enthusiastically and without reservations!

I highly recommend Danielle as your next Rover, and here’s why. As a fellow Rover, I’ve had Danielle cover for me multiple times, and each time she has provided exceptional care for the dogs I walk. In addition to being a dedicated animal lover, Danielle volunteers at the local animal rescue, where she sits as a board member. In her role, she helps evaluate new dogs, assesses their temperaments, and creates individualized care plans to ensure their comfort. She’s certified in Pet CPR and is often referred to as the "dog whisperer" of the rescue. With her dog training experience, your pet will not only be in great hands but may also learn new skills. Don’t miss the chance to book a trusted sitter!

Danielle is so great with dogs and all animals in general! She is so knowledgeable about their behavior and clearly has a passion for animals and their welfare.

Every once and a while you meet someone in life who has found their calling. Danielle has clearly found her calling when it comes to pet care and pet training. Danielle cared for both my dogs and cats and it was clear from the outset she has a great deal of experience and knowledge with animals. She was friendly, kind and easy to work with and made accommodations to work around our schedule. Given her background with animal behavior, rescue and training I felt her rates were very reasonable. Our pets clearly felt comfortable with Danielle. She practices positive reinforcement not the outdated dominant hierarchy which put my mind at rest. Danielle has provided us invaluable dog behavior observations about our dog with suggested exercises for us to work on. I enthusiastically recommend Danielle for all your pet care needs.

It’s important to know your dog and cats general behavior and how they interact with other people and animals and any triggers I should be aware of. Also, information about your dogs and cats medical status and disabilities is needed to know prior to my visit. No breed preferences. A meet and greet is always preferred in advance of services so we can start out on the right paw!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
