I work about 35 hours a week, Monday through Friday. I share my home with my own dog and have fostered many others over the years. Our days start around 7:30 a.m. with a few minutes of morning cuddles followed by breakfast. After that, we head out for a 30–60‑minute walk to stretch our legs and enjoy the fresh air. I leave for work around 9:30 a.m. and return by 5 p.m., when we go straight out again—either a long walk, trail hike, or visit to the dog park for about an hour to an hour and a half, weather permitting. Dinner is around 6:30 p.m., followed by some playtime and treats. We sometimes go out again if necessary. Evenings are quiet and cozy: we relax, watch a bit of TV, and snuggle on the couch until bedtime at 10:30 p.m. During weekends I do more and longer walks. I stay home, sewing, reading, cooking. I like to bring dogs with me when I run errands, they often love car rides!

I love keeping dogs active and happy! We spend lots of time outside—walking, exploring trails, or playing in the yard. Indoors, I keep things fun with toys, mental games, and plenty of cuddles. My own friendly dog enjoys having company, big or small, so your pup will always have a buddy to play with and relax beside.

Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What really sets me apart is my experience fostering dogs with fear, trauma, or anxiety. I understand how to earn trust slowly and create a calm, predictable environment so nervous pets can relax and feel safe. I’m also comfortable with senior‑dog care—administering medication, keeping routines consistent, and adapting walks or playtime to match their comfort level. Every dog in my care gets patience, structure, and affection. Whether we’re going for a long trail walk, enjoying quiet cuddle time, or working on confidence through gentle interaction, I treat each dog like my own.

Daphne took care of my dog twice and it has gone great each time! I would book with her again.
Daphne took care of my dog for about 9.5 hours. Her home is dog friendly and she clearly loves dogs. My only instruction was to keep my dog separated from her dog and she promised to do so. We discussed this several times before booking and at drop off and Daphne assured me she would do so. Unfortunately, Daphne disregarded our agreement and decided to train my dog to interact with her dog. She sent me a photo of her dog and my dog being walked together without any comment. I was alarmed by the photo and when I tried calling Daphne to make arrangements to pick up my dog, I could not reach her for about 90 minutes. I called repeatedly and texted without response and finally called Rover for assistance in contacting her. It was very stressful and inconvenient that she was unreachable for such a long period of time when I needed to pick up my dog. I would strongly encourage Daphne to follow her client's instructions as agreed and to carry her phone with her so clients can reach her.
Daphne gave our puppy,Roux, a fun day full of outings. She took her the dog park, the trails and the beach! Roux also got on very well with Daphne’s dog, Maggie. Roux had such a great time, I had a hard time getting her to leave 😂 Will definitely be booking with Daphne again!
Dapne did an excellent job with Gray. Taking him to the dog park and on trails. Loved the pictures and videos she sent. I would definitely book her again 🥰
