Pet care experience
Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a canine caregiver with over 10 years of diverse experience under her belt who simply does not feel whole without having dogs in her life. Having grown up with a Daschund, I am knowledgeable about the responsibilities associated with caring for dogs suffering from back problems and general aggression and anxiety issues towards other canines. However, I am also familiar with socializing (in dog parks and otherwise) and training puppies, having recently cared for a shelter puppy from the ages of 2 months to 6 months. I am therefore familiar with puppy crate and general training, as well as health issues including kennel cough, worms, and genital irritation, most frequently afflicting shelter dogs. I have also had direct and prolonged experience caring for my families Chinese Crested who was diagnosed with kidney failure several months ago. Besides spoon feeding, medicating, and taking him for his veterinary visits, I have also had experience with the specialized meal prep, grooming, pampering and attention required by Chinese Cresteds generally. However, my experience is not limited to small, anxious, or aggressive dogs. I have also had the opportunity to board a wonderfully friendly and sweet 7-year-old lab for over a month (see testimonials) with whom I took trips to different parks and hiking trails and who I cared for during his recovery from knee surgery. Thus, I am an experienced caregiver familiar with a number of different breeds, ailments, and restrictions. I am able to provide your canine companion with any specialized care and attention they may need and to report back regularly and promptly with any and all updates during my time spent with your pupper. Thanks for stopping by and happy petting! :) Other things you may want to know about me: -There are no other pets in my apartment - I live in downtown Brooklyn - I am usually available on short notice - I live near a park and boardwalk
Reviews
Danielle watched our sweet Lab, Zeke, twice during the summer of 2016 and we really lucked out. She spoiled him with several walks a day, lots of attention and outings around town. She sent us texts and photos to keep us up to date on how he was doing while we were on a long vacation. She responds quickly to my texts/ emails and asks questions before making any decisions. While we were away, Zeke got a vacation, too! On a shorter stay, we also were happy that she was able to care for Zeke after he had a small surgery on his leg. It was nearly healed by the time he stayed with her and she was very careful and attentive to it. We had total confidence that Zeke was in good hands with a seasoned dog owner and caregiver. He loved Danielle and I would love to have her to watch him again.
Danielle is amazing at taking care of animals. She would watch my dog and cat anytime I needed her, or had an emergency so I asked her to come and check on them or stay with them. My dog can be difficult and needs certain instructions in order to take care of her. Danielle followed every instruction and made sure my dog was happy at all times. She has a love for animals and is a great dog sitter. I highly recommend her and will ask her for her services again when I go out of town.
