Information Danielle S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer specific written instructions as well as stories of the animals likes, dislikes, fears, and funs. Verbal cues and hand gestures vary among pet guardians and learning those familiar to your pet is important.

A typical day

Activities will depend on the needs of each individual animal and their guardians’ wishes. As we say in our classes, "Train the dog you have."

We felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby with Danielle while we went overseas for our holiday. We even needed to have a friend drop off and pick her up, and Danielle was so easy to coordinate with. We got lovely videos every day and even heard our Maggie was behaving herself. We would definitely try to have Danielle take care of Maggie again!

Danielle is great. She has stayed at my house and taken care of my dog and two cats many times. I know my animals are loved and cared for. She sends updates and videos and is helpful and pays attention to details. I am always happy when Danielle is available to take care of my pets.

Danielle takes amazing care of Glory - and, as my husband says, Glory comes back smarter every time!

Glory loves going to Danielle’s and having the chance to play with Gibuu. Danielle works on training points with Glory so she comes home even better than when she left!

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.
