Foodie, fitty, outdoorsy dog lover!
Pet care experience
Help me get my Fido Fix! I am a lifelong owner and lover of dogs, currently living in a no pet zone. This means I am overflowing with puppy love, and I’d be delighted to help care for your dog! I am extremely communicative and will send you regular updates and will be extremely available to you while you are gone. You won’t miss a thing! I am attentive to pets and will make sure they are happy and occupied at all times. Pet and owner satisfaction are my goal! I have cat, dog, house, and babysitting experience! I grew up with two dogs and cannot have any of my own, as my landlord doesn't allow pets. But I love to dog sit on the side! I am a full-time child therapist and have years of experience working with children with autism doing applied behavior analysis, which makes me really good at dog training! I am consistent, reliable, and LOVE to cuddle and play with dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy running, hiking, and generally being outside, especially if it's with a furry friend! I also have a car and don't mind allowing dogs to ride along with me, especially if we're on our way to a great dog park or even the beach! Please reach out to me to learn more. I'd love to set up a meet and greet with you and your dog!
Reviews
Danielle did a great job with our old dog. He was happy and healthy when we got home.
Danielle stayed in our home to care for our 152 lb baby, Roma, while my husband and I were away on vacation. Roma is a sensitive Great Dane mix who is anxious around other dogs and prefers not to be left alone. Danielle bonded quickly with Roma - they were cuddling in no time. :) Danielle was able to handle Roma on walks and provided a calm presence for Roma at home. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone wanting a loving and experienced companion for their furry friend.
Danielle has watched our dog, Frank, many times. Frank is always happy after spending time with her. She is a loving and responsible caretaker and I would definitely recommend her!
Danielle is an incredibly responsible, kind, and warm-hearted woman. My little Molly always seems to enjoy her time with Danielle, and it's such a pleasure for me to not experience any doubt or nervousness about the care Molly is in - Danielle is great and I have so much trust in her as my dog-sitter, I'll continue to be using her to watch Molly for sure. Couldn't recommend her more.

Information Danielle S. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to meet you and your dog ahead of time, as well as get a feel for the home I'll be staying in, to make sure this will be a positive stay for everyone involved. I always like to establish a rapport with you and your dog to make sure you're both comfortable with me. Communication is key in any successful endeavor, and when we meet I will ask many questions, such as: -What does a regular day look like for you and your dog? -Does your dog have any aggressive tendencies? -Is there anything that frightens your dog? Loud sounds, etc. - What is your feeding schedule/what kind of food/how much? -What, if any, training has your dog had? Can they be off leash? -Does your dog have any allergies or medical conditions?
A typical day
There’s nothing like hitting the trails with a furry companion! I love to get out and enjoy our beautiful city, so your dog will get plenty of exercise with me. We can check out Golden Gate Park, Bernal Heights Park, or maybe head to the beach to play fetch in the sand. I am also a proficient snuggler, and love to curl up on the couch with a dog and a book.
