Pet care experience
Growing up, we had quite a pet menagerie that included everything but dogs and cats, so my sitting experience made up for it. With well over a decade of experience house and pet minding, I’ve worked with a wide range of species of all ages, sizes, temperaments and health restrictions-which includes administering medication like insulin injections. So, you can breathe easy! If your pet needs a cardio companion, I’m capable and excited to help with anything from strolls around the neighborhood at a leisurely pace to even becoming a running partner! Be it check-ins, feedings, walks or overnight assistance, I’m your helper and can work at your pet’s pace, respecting the rules of your house and including them in my own. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Daphne has been wonderful with our dog from the time he was just 4 months old. She is reliable, communicative, and friendly. She took the time to get to know us and our pup to make sure he was well taken care of and enjoying his walks! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Daphne is a great and kind dog walker! She encouraged my little blind girl to walk around the block and really get good exercise!
Daphne was awesome. She was extremely communicative and Xena loved her!
She sat with Matty for longer than expected. He seemed to really enjoy the company. She was able to get him to sit long enough that he could be brushed and was happy when I got home.

Safety, trust & environment
It’s important to me that we do a meet and greet beforehand, with a few urgent last minute requests as exception, just to asses and establish your pet’s comfort level, pace of trust and sense of security. Also, scheduling a meet and greet helps me to maintain the training and rules of the house. With urgent requests, that is a little harder, but having as much detail as possible on your animals behavior, would be beneficial. Like, are they scared of certain sounds, objects like skateboards/scooters? Are there areas in the neighborhood they get anxiety or worked up about, that I should redirect from?

Information Daphne C. would like to know about your pet
Are they animal or human reactive or apprehensive? If so, for consistency’s sake, what training recommendations would your household like me to maintain? Also, does your pet have any allergies or dietary restrictions I should be aware of?
A typical day
Walks around your neighborhood. If discussed, I don’t mind taking your pup on field trips to the dog park or other parks, if they have spots they enjoy going to!

Availability
I am working remotely, so I’m very flexible and available to assist with maintaining your pet’s schedule. I’m normally an early morning riser, which I’ve found helpful to leaving my schedule open and avoiding more of the peak heat times and crowds with anxious pets.
