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."

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!

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.
