Pet care experience
**Note: Due to a recent back injury, I am limiting the type of larger clients I can accept. If your big fur baby is very active, requires a strong hand on walks, or needs regular lifting, I am currently unable to accept our request. If you are unsure, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss. Thanks!** I will treat your fur babies like they're my own. 🐾 I have been around animals for as long as I can remember - I grew up with a Dobermann and a German Shepard mix as a very young child, cared for two adorable rats in middle school, spent my time around horses as much as possible, and now I spoil my cat as much as I possibly can. Besides always having mutiple family dogs, my parents also worked at an animal shelter when I was growing up. They often took me with them to make sure that I learned the proper way of caring for animals from the get-go and respected them as a part of the family. Throughout the years we owned many dogs of all shapes and sizes. It goes without saying that I loved them all! During high school, I volunteered at a horse stable, teaching and practicing proper animal care while also keeping the pack at home happy & healthy. Currently, I spend my freetime spoiling my kitty (The Captain) - but I think it's time the cuddles are shared with your pets! :) I have years of experience with animals of all sorts and backgrounds - at home as well as from my time working at a vet clinic. All of my pets have been rescues, and many of them had been scarred by their past and brought individual challenges with them. So through years of personal and professional experience, I feel very well prepared and equipped to handle your beloved pets!
Reviews
Daphne was great! We wanted the dogs to keep their routine in our house and have someone around for them and Daphne did a great job! She shared lots of photos and multiple updates per day - just what we needed while we were away. We’ll definitely use her in the future!
Daphne really is the most wonderful person you could ever hope to take care of your pet. I have terrible anxiety about leaving my dog but I always feel completely comfortable and at ease having her in Daphne’s care. She is so kind, respectful and my dog Star absolutely loves her. Thank you so so much.
We recently moved to San Diego from NYC and the hardest part of that whole process was leaving our amazing sitter. We found Daphne on Rover and are SO GLAD we did. She was kind, considerate, and so lovely with our bossy pup, Frankie. We received regular updates and gorgeous photos, and our apartment was sparkly clean when we returned. Daphne was also kind enough to come over for a meet and greet ahead of the booking and asked so many thoughtful questions about Frankie and the apartment. We already have another booking with Daphne lined up - and have recommended her to others!
Daphne is a responsible & kind sitter. While pet sitting, she followed all care instructions precisely, gave me timely updates (with cute pics!), & most importantly made my pets feel comfortable & cared for. She also took good care of my home by keeping it clean & brining packages inside. I will absolutely book Daphne again!

Home
Information Daphne B. would like to know about your pet
* Is there anything specific that scares/threatens them? * How are they around kids/strangers/other animals etc? * Where do and don't they like to be pet? * Do they have any illnesses or special diets I need to be aware of? * What is the best way to get their attention?(certain commands/phrases, calling their name, whistling, treats etc.) * For house sittings, how long can they be left alone? * And most importantly: what are their favorite toys and treats? :)
A typical day
I love playing tug of war and fetch with your dog, and playing with wand toys with your cats. As a remote worker, I enjoy taking your dogs on long walks around the neighborhood 2-3 times a day (plus a potty break before bed) and treating them to lots of cuddles afterwards. I always look forward to ending the day with a movie and a cuddly companion - there's nothing better!

Availability
I work from home, so if requested I can provide around the clock pet care when sitting in your home to ensure your pets are taken care of like when you are home (my house sitting base rate inculdes up to three walks per day). However, please be aware that I generally will have other bookings to take care of during house sitting services. If your pup requires constant 24/7 care, please be sure to inform me of this so we can talk details, costs, and expectations.
