Ratings and reviews
As always, Ivy had a great time with Danielle and Gibuu, and a little more structure than she sometimes gets at home is always helpful with her training and development!
Glory is so well taken care of with Danielle. We really appreciate being able to relax and enjoy where we are and what we are doing because we know Glory is happy and thriving.
Danielle was amazing with Mo Mo! She is very patient and caring with my puppy, and I really appreciated that she also spent time training her and reinforcing good behaviours. Mo Mo had a great time with her and her dog and looked so happy and comfortable during her stay. I felt very comfortable leaving Mo Mo in her care and would definitely recommend her. We will absolutely book with her again!
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!

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.

Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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."
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeDanielle can host up to 1 pet per night
- 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.
