Ratings and reviews
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!
Danielle was lovely to my Frank and I felt very at peace with the fact that he was so well cared for.
Danielle has stayed with my dog and two cats for long stays and short. She is the best pet sitter I could ask for - professional, safety conscious, neat and tidy. I know my animals are loved and cared for. Her puppy- in-training is polite as can be and bonds and plays with my animals. She communicates regularly and sends pics. I have only good things to say about her and Gibuu. Thank you Danielle!!
Danielle was great with our little snuggle puggle! She let Maggie always be touching her and let us know that she was having a great time with her and Gibuu. Already have her booked again for our next trip!
Danielle has watched my animals many times and she’s the best. I know they all get lots of love and attention and I always come back to a clean house. Her therapy dogs in training are so well behaved, even my cats like them. I highly recommend Danielle.
We would love to give Danielle 10 stars out of 5, but that is not an option. Danielle is a very experienced dog sitter, who was kind and gentle with our slightly neurotic pup, Abbey. She took Abbey on lake and park walks with her Yellow Lab-in training, Gibbu, and we got regular video and text updates of these activities. Danielle was thoughtful and respectful, and we would not hesitate to recommend her. We hope she is available the next time we take a foreign vacation that cannot include Abbey. It was obvious to us that Abbey missed Danielle and Gibbu after our return. And it was very beneficial for Abbey to stay in her own home with Danielle and Gibbu as guests.

Schedule
I am retired with very few demands on my time. I train only one (full-time, live-in) service dog at a time so my hours are completely flexible. Service in the Duncan, Shawnigan, and Ladysmith area. No service to Lake Cowichan.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety first! Ensuring that the environment is safe, secure, and without fear or stress is priority one. After that, it is meeting the physical, nutritional, and emotional needs of the specific pet.

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."
