Animal professional, loves all pets

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an experienced sitter with 10 years of professional experience working in kennels, grooming practices, and veterinary facilities. I hold a BS in Animal Behavior with a background in animal training. I am also canine CPR & first aid trained. My skills and experience have made me adept at care for animals of all ages, including exotic and pocket pets. I've successfully raised and trained puppies to be service dogs and ESAs. Administering medication/injections was part of my schooling as well as my job and I am comfortable doing so. I live an active lifestyle and take my boarding dogs swimming, hiking, and playing every day. Comfy couches and dog beds also available for geriatric pups. I also have a big fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy! Lots of toys to play with here that are cleaned after every guest. Available any day - any time! This is now my full time job and I have dedicated myself fully to pet care. I do require a meet and greet before solidifying any booking to ensure a good fit for both myself and your pet. Any pets staying in my home will also have to meet my pups. I will do my best to accommodate last minute bookings. I also require proof of a current rabies vaccine and an overview of any bite history. I follow care instructions provided to me by the client as they know their pets best. I keep a clean, safe environment and pay close attention to pets in my care.

We had a great experience with Danielle. Super communicative and Ruby is nice and tired after her week with Ellie and Danielle!

Dani took great care of my energetic retriever two weekends in a row. She was very communicative and reliable. My pup loved hanging with her and her dogs. Would definitely recommend!

My cat loves Danii & that says it all! She’s super communicative which is really important in my opinion. I’ll absolutely continue having her come to take care of my cat (gives me such peace of mind) and I would definitely recommend her.
