Pet care experience

I currently work part time as a caregiver, host Cacao Ceremonies, and I pet sit. I recently lost the last of my three dogs and have a very motherly heart full of love and am hoping for new pet friends to offer it to. Previously I worked at the San Diego Humane Society as an adoption counselor, where I matched the animals to their ideal humans. Prior to that I worked at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Big Game department where I worked hands on with wild animals like deer and elk! I have been pet sitting for people since I was sixteen, and have previously had three dogs of my own, so I am very comfortable around them. I also used to volunteer for the Sacramento Zoo as a keeper's aid so I am used to cleaning up messes and will have no problem around larger animals. I also worked at U.C. Davis' sheep barn where I fed the animals, cleaned their quarters, administered shots and ultrasounds, and assisted in births. I have the utmost respect for all animals but have a very special place in my heart for dogs and cats. My goal is to provide animals with ample comfort and mental and physical stimulation while their families are away. Pets are little angel babies and deserve all the love in the world. I'd love to care for your baby/babies so hit me up with any questions!

Danielle was great! She helped on a last minute request for a single day daycare for my fur son (9 year old black lab) and was super communicative and accommodating! Would recommend!

Danielle was wonderful with Murph! She can be a bit anxious in new environments, but Danielle went above and beyond with long walks, plenty of playtime, and regular photo updates kept Murph (and me!) at ease. It’s clear she genuinely loves the dogs she cares for. We’ll absolutely be booking again!

Danielle is an excellent dog sitter, patient, knowledgeable and clearly an expert! She kept me frequently posted on Sombra my jumpy black lab pup and their activities. I will be re-booking frequently in the future!

Danielle was great with Luna sending photos and videos. Luna came back happy and we didn’t have to worry at all. Thanks!

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.
