Safety, trust & environment

Caring for them just as I would my own, and then some. There’s a higher level of security and awareness that comes with caring for someone else's animals, and you can trust that I will always be overly cautious when it comes to any worries of escape or anything happening while your pet is in my care.

Information Danika K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any accommodations I can make for you and your pet. I am very flexible and willing to work with you.

A typical day

We will go to the local dog parks like thousand acres, which is off leash. I would only feel comfortable with doing this with owner permission and being absolutely sure that recalls will be obeyed and practiced in an enclosed space first. I don’t take any chances. Daily walks, lots of love and play with whatever your animal loves most. I have some favorite spots to go in the summer time to play in the water that has no other people or animals.

Pet care experience

Hello! A bit about me: I am Danika (Dani) I cant really remember a time when i didn't love animals, dogs always being at the forefront! I worked in a professional dog-daycare facility for five years and have run my own sitting service since 2008. Within working the daycare business I have learned the complexity of dog language and dog training and have seen the techniques I learned succeed within my own home and those i have directly worked with. I have trained many puppies through basic level and intermediate level training courses. My home is a positive reinforcement training setting. I do not practice fear based training. If that is your training method, please seek another sitter. I always conduct a meet and greet before accepting any clients in both my own home and overnights at the clients home. I also have experience with caring for active farms including horses, alpaca, llama, chickens, goats, rabbits, geese and any and all hoof stock and fowl. So stall cleanout, feed and water, turn out, brush, etc is no problem!

Dani spent over a week at our house caring for our puppy frenchie! She is excellent with communication, and cared for Coors like her own dog. She also took care of our house, and was very clean, in the hot summer! I highly recommend Dani!

Dani was fantastic with our pups! Sending pics and videos and also taking really good care of our home while we were gone. We came back to our house in better condition than we left it
