Information Daphne G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any or preferences for your pet, or if they have any specific behaviors or habits I should know about. I'll do my best to prepare and adapt to each pet individually.

A typical day

With your dog, we'll explore all the smells in the park to stimulate them both physically and mentally. At the end of a good walk, I'll reward with a "good girl!/boy!" And a treat, if you prefer. If you have a preferred park, let me know! I'm new to the area. With cats, I cater to their personality. For the playful ones, I provide interactive play activities for socialization, delicious treats, and pawsitive reinforcement.

Quality care for your pets

Pet care experience

I believe that our pets enhance our well-being and improve human connection. With over 7 years of pet-sitting and dog walking experience, my clients have described me as patient, communicative, and helpful. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs my whole life, and used to work in the animal welfare and veterinarian field. I enjoy working with all types of pets - young, old, special needs, healthy. I work in compliance for a youth development organization and love doing Rover as a side gig. My schedule is most flexible for morning and afternoon/evening drop-ins during the weekday, and open flexibility during the weekend. very flexible and open. I'm available everyday for walking and drop-in visits, but prefer advance notice for house stays. I'm available for overnight stays, or I can visit your pet(s) at home. For new clients, I prefer meeting beforehand to discuss care, any expectations, or instructions.

Daphne made our fur babies feel cozy and well looked after—complete with playtime and lots of cuddles. She even brought in a couple plants that were in danger of freezing on our back porch. We would definitely have Daphne watch our pets again!

Daphne was great! We really appreciated the kindness she showed toward our two kitties, as well as her detailed updates about how they were doing.
