One client at a time
Pet care experience
I only take one client at a time! Though I will reference dogs a lot, I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, parakeets, cockatiels, turtles, and fishes. About three years ago, I adopted a pup that was running around the streets of Puerto Rico for about 4 years of his life. Since then I've been focused on educating myself (aka watching YouTube videos and connecting with trainers) in understanding behaviors, training manners and setting structures. We're almost always training and we've come quite a long way! I have experience with reactive dogs and how to properly use tools such as the prong collar and R+ methods(I worked with a trainer). I can continue any training while you’re gone while making them feel like they're also on vacation. I am open to care for pets that are deemed any type of aggressive. However, I will require fully transparent conversations beforehand and however many meetings we decide is necessary. I have a soft spot for special pups. It takes special humans(you!) to care for special pups and you deserve a responsible and trustworthy human to care for them while you're away.
Reviews
We had a great experience boarding our dog, Stacie, with Danielle. During our meet and greet Danielle was very thorough and while traveling we received regular updates on how Stacie was doing. I would happily use Danielle again in the future.
Danielle was awesome! Accommodated a last min request and my dog loved her :)
Danielle is great with our two dogs. She genuinely cares about them and gets to know their individual personalities. She met their needs, even when it was raining. She gave me peace of mind when going on vacation and I trust her with our dogs whole heartedly.
Danielle was so great with my boys! I was on a long vacation and have two special needs animals. One who requires meds and the other that is just getting over an surgery. She was beyond amazing! Very communicative, asked great questions. A few unexpected things came up during her stay and she was on top of it! So thankful she was able to care for my boys!

Information Danielle Y. would like to know about your pet
I need to be aware beforehand if your pet has any unpleasant traits/tendencies no matter how rare they occur. Most pets are different when the pawrents are not around—just how they deal with anxiety or even things they do for fun but I should keep an eye out for. Examples: Leash aggression and/or pulling Running away Likes to roll in mud (to prevent unplanned baths) Separation Anxiety-chewing, licking, scratching, not eating, excessive crying Possible accidents even though he/she is potty trained Resource guarding Aggressive chewer My pup has done all of these and I completely understand. All dogs are good dogs! I just need to know ahead of time. The more I know about your pup, the better care I can provide for them.
A typical day
Playtime with your pet is completely defined by you and how they like to play and what their needs are especially when it comes to walks. My furbaby will be my assistant to keep your pet company while you're gone, yes cats included. He is a great host and respects whatever type of play (or not) your pet likes. I'm not open to board any aggressive pets, but I'm happy to watch them in your home.

Availability
Current pet owners make the best sitters because we’re already on some sort of potty and walk schedule haha! I don't make any personal plans during a service. Exact schedule will be discussed prior to booking and any deviations from it will be communicated with you.
