I care for pets in my home and at their home as well. I have a big back yard that is fenced in on all sides. I go outside with the pets most of the time and engage and play with them. I don't just let them out. There are 2 people parks near my home (one well shaded and great for hot summer days) that are great for walking to. I find dogs like to people watching too. I think giving pups time to sniffy snoop around is important. I even have a backpack with a mesh screen "window" for a cat as some cats love walks. In your home, I follow their routine to give them a sense of security, play, train, and introduce new toys and tricks if your pup is up for that. With cats I can read their cute little faces pretty well and give them what they want: play, pets, scratches, and/or, for example, introduce them to new smells to engage their minds.

Pet care experience
You name it, I probably have lovingly done it. From medical care, giving shots, playing, training, elder pet care, cleaning ears, wiping paws, giving baths, walking and playing with super high energy pets, etc., I can handle it. I specialize in anxious dogs. I get that there is a formula for making them feel safe and I can follow it to a T, plus I have a lot of tools and tricks. I also specialize in elder care of pets. Beyond medical needs which I am comfortable doing, I also have tons of ways of engaging elders pets that can no longer play nor walk like they used. I am loving, lead with empathy, and NEVER strike nor yell at a pet. That should go without saying, but I like to be very clear. I can assert leadership for pets that need it. I can handle any size pet and I get that each pet has their own needs, so don't worry if your dog has a long list of things they cannot do or a list of needs. I get it!
Reviews
Dannel and her husband were truly more than we imagined we were getting for our sweet pup, Magnolia. They took incredible care of her while she stayed with them for a week. The week was full of storms which make her very nervous but Dannel made sure that Mags was comforted throughout and even sang to her to keep her distracted, truly going above and beyond and Magnolia came home happy, healthy, and with new found friends. We’ve found our go-to sitter(s) for sure! We can’t recommend Dannel enough, she’s a trusted, caring, animal lover through and through.
My dog Luna absolutely loves Dannel! She's 14 with high anxiety and requires a lot of extra attention and medications. I never feel worried when we're away because I know that Dannel is paying close attention and Luna is happy for all of the love and attention she's getting. Dannel has such a gentle presence when my dog is feeling anxious that she's able to help her calm down. It means the world to me that I can leave Luna with someone who cares as much about her as I do!
Dannel Wilson is very caring and professional with my dog. My pet requires specialized medications and feeding schedules and Dannel was able to handle these requirements with no issue. She was very kind and loving with my dog and my dog was excited to see her on subsequent visits.
Dannel is just absolutely amazing! Not only is she kind, personable and very easy to talk to, she makes you feel at ease that your animals are in good hands. She is very accommodating to your pets needs and is so incredibly loving and caring with them. She made sure my animals were comfortable, given lots of love and affection, and was attentive to my dogs anxiety. She has done both housesitting with my pets at home and has babysat them at her home, as well as drop-ins. I always came home to happy pets and a clean home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
