Your pets are in good paws with me!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of my own pets plus friends, family, and neighbors pets for 8 years.. I've stayed at others house, made sure medications were given as needed, walked/exercised regularly, fed, groomed, and of course making sure they felt safe. I believe its important to understand the body language and attitude of others pets especially if you're going into their home. You're new to them and their owner is leaving you in charge of them so they are likely to be anxious and uncertain of how to take you being there so allowing them to grow their trust and comfort in you is crucial. I am a veterinary assistant so i am very informed and have experience comforting animals and knowing when something is wrong and how to take action. Along with that i also have worked in a boarding/daycare business and have been always the person going the extra mile whether it was just giving extra blankets, more frequent/longer play time outside, treats, or just something as simple as sitting with them and letting them lay on me for their peace of mind. I do have experience in puppy training techniques, such as potty/crate training and obedience. Along with puppy training i do have experience with senior care, such as lifting/carrying, providing extra bedding, help walking/guiding (pets who are blind), waking up your pet, getting their attention, signaling (pets who are deaf), often senior pets need a lot more care then a puppy or young adult pet given the fact they can lose their abilities to do everyday tasks. I'm sure everyone says they will give your pet the best care but i promise that its me that will do the best job. I am proud of the knowledge and experience i have that allows me to be so great and confident when working with others pets. These are your family and i would hope someone would treat my pets as their family if i needed them to so i promise to do the same for you.

Danielle is a exciting young lady who is well knowledgeable in dogs and animals. She has watched our four dogs on numerous occasions. We have an older dog that she takes extra time with. I would recommend her for pet and house sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs of my own, a 3 year old chocolate lab named Cecil, and a 7 year old english pointer named Ember. They both are very high energy especially Ember as she is a bird hunting dog. They both go on a walk at 6A.M. every morning and again at 5P.M. We also have a fenced in backyard that they run around regularly all day everyday when they want to. At a clients home if the owner has a fenced in backyard or they take their dogs on regular walks to get exercise i would gladly do whatever their preference is. Even if my client has a fenced in yard I still go out with the pet just for their safety and mine and play as well. Throughout the day if my client wants me to dog sit but has rules regarding where their pet is allowed in the house, on or off furniture, feeding schedules, medication schedules, bathroom breaks i would follow instructions that are given. If i am overnight sitting i would follow whatever routine the client normally follows unless more action is needed such as if they seem to be territorial or aggressive due to not knowing me or being uncomfortable for any reason i would reach out to the owner if i absolutely had to if i feel unsafe or that i cant control the situation and that goes for any time of day.

Information Danielle S. would like to know about your pet

How they take to new people, if they are territorial over objects/spaces in their home or going to new homes, if they are food/dog/child aggressive, the owners expectations/rules/routines, if they have any medication requirements, health issues such as seizures, arthritis, sensitive skin (allergies such as grass), allergic to any treats/food, what scares them/what makes them feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

There is a dog park 5 minutes up the street from me, is a large fenced in dog park that allows all size dogs. If able I’d take my clients pets there if they are dog friendly and the owner says it’s okay. There is also a large field behind my old middle/elementary school that’s 3 minutes walking distance from my house that I take my own dogs to run around, if my clients dog knows commands and is accurate with coming back when called I’d be more then glad to take them there as well. To be simple and make sure the dog still gets their exercise I love to play with toys inside and outside to interact with them and get some energy out. If your pet loves water and you’re okay with me taking your pet to the beach, i love 20 minutes from first landing National state park, there is hiking trails, Chesapeake bay, lots of sand and trees.
