About: I have adopted and owned two small dogs since 2018. I have done all dog grooming including daily dog wash and weekly dog bath so they have been kept so clean and healthy. I was an IT professional working on life science at academic institutions and recently retired. I love pets and always spend my time with them. Now I have a plenty of time to supervise, watch and play with dogs. No matter a day or week or month, I will try to meet your schedule. My house has a deck connected to a small fenced backyard with locked gate and unfenced well-maintained 2-acre land surrounding the house, away from traffic road so dogs could freely roam.

About: With over 30 years of pet care experience growing up on a small farm, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats to livestock. My experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care needs. Living on 100 acres, I offer a unique environment where pets have plenty of space to explore and play in a safe, supervised setting. Unlike many sitters, dog sitting is my main source of income, which means I am fully dedicated to giving your pet my full attention, love, and care. Whether it’s puppy training, senior pet care, or just providing lots of love and exercise, I treat every pet like they’re my own! *I also offer a contactless pet drop-offs and pick-ups if needed for early morning/late evening pick ups. You can drop your fur baby off in my outdoor kennel, text me and I will be sure to come get you pup as soon as I can and move them inside or to the fenced in area! I prefer to do this after we have met in person at least once to show you the kennel drop off/pick up. Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. As a full-time pet sitter living on 100 acres, my day revolves around providing attentive, personalized care. From morning walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and cuddling, I ensure every pet gets the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Since pet sitting is my main source of income, I have the flexibility and time to accommodate individual needs—whether it’s extra potty breaks, medication schedules, or play sessions. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority every single day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for all pets in my care. My property includes a fenced-in area detached from the house, allowing for secure, off-leash playtime where pets can run, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. In addition to regular walks and exercise, I also offer bathing services, with pricing based on breed and size. My priority is ensuring each pet feels loved, comfortable, and well-cared for—whether they’re getting their zoomies out in the fenced area or enjoying a calm, cozy space indoors. Please make sure fur baby is up to date on all their vaccinations, flea and tick meds.


“Chris is a really good dog sitter, he sends you updates of what your pet is doing throughout the day. This helps a lot when having a puppy.”


“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”



“Charity was super responsive and sent pictures of Jax right away! My schedule was a bit in flux and Charity was very understanding and willing to work with me. Jax came home happy and tuckered out from a day of playing!”


“Nadia took great care of my boy - he played lots with her dog and came home tired!! Got lots of photos all day which made me still feel a part of his day.”


“She sent pictures and Ellie wss happy to be with her 10/10 experience would let her watch Ellie again✌🏾”


“Heidi treats Milo as if he’s her own! I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in her care. She sent lots of photos and ensured he had fun all day! :)”


“Stephanie was such an attentive caretaker! Thanks for all the pictures by the way. Hazel loved it at your place, with all the toys and the pool, and places to play. It was very good for her to make friends and play with your dog Ellie as well! Thanks for being such a great dog sitter.”


About: I wholeheartedly appreciate integrity, transparency, and respect - trusting someone with your family is not something to take lightly in today's world! Here’s a quick rundown on me to help YOU decide if/how I'm a good a fit for your fur family! I spent 5 yrs on the United States Humane Society’s animal rescue team & district leader programs (experience with a variety of topical and intramuscular medications, ages, sizes and temperaments, Dog First Aid/CPR certified, catered to special needs, coordinated canine engagement and enrichment, it was an incredible chapter of my life!). I’ve also spent 5 yrs as volunteer Fire/EMS and then started a holistic nutrition & natural health practice, which all together has given me the experience & afforded me more time with one of the things I cherish most: DOGS. They’re the most selfless animals I’ve loved learning how to communicate with and being there to love if/when you can’t. I’m 31 yo with 2 dogs of our own and love making them feel like family! I’d love to help take care of your fur babies while you’re away! My hope is you can rest easy knowing your pet and home are in loving, knowledgeable hands while you’re away. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME - SAFETY: I’ve learned to never get complacent & reasonably prioritize situational awareness for your pets like I would my own family (strangers, locking doors, choking hazards, health emergencies, etc). LOVE: dogs make our days so much better and I love to fill their day(s) with the joy, laughter, and belly rubs they deserve! INTEGRITY: I say what I mean and I do what I say! Trust & transparency are hard bridges to build back once burnt so with clear expectations set, your dog(s) will be cared for exactly the way you ask them to be no matter how simple or complex their routine may be (with lots of photos/videos along the way!). WHAT I’D LOVE FROM YOU - COMMUNICATION: every dog is different with unique needs so please never hesitate to promptly specify what your dog(s) need more/less of! OBEDIENCE: I never expect perfect obedience!! But I do believe manners are important. I've been (unintentionally) injured, seen dogs damage property, and believe setting boundaries (lovingly) is important if we want to coexist! With the HSUS, I was taught how to train basic obedience using Pavlovian pairing/classical conditioning techniques (ex: rewarding for what’s acceptable, creating opportunities to praise, replacing minimal physical correction with verbal correction for desired outcome, etc) and witnessed all breeds learn better behaviors with consistent guidelines. However I only offer training and will never praise or correct behavior unless asked. Otherwise, the only behavior I'll stop is any behavior that harms your pet(s), people, or property. Services: 🏠 DAYCARE/OVERNIGHT: a fun way for me to supervise your pup while they socialize and play at home away from home! We’re grateful to have hvac, a fenced yard, clean carbon filtered water, and plenty of antlers to share. We love welcoming 1 dog to stay (and snuggle) with us and our crew (2 female dogs, 1 toddler) where they’ll get greeted with belly rubs over coffee and talked to like family throughout the day! Plenty of yard to roam, a dedicated den to make their own (toys, beds, blankets, etc), and way more opportunity to go potty/exert energy than 2-3 drop-ins. You pack the food and maybe their favorite treats, I’ll make sure they feel right at home with daily pictures/videos throughout the stay! Daycare: $60/daily | Overnight: $70/daily Availability: Monday-Sunday 🦮 DROP-INS/DOG WALKS: they’re essentially the same service (same price!)! In theory, “drop-ins” are potty breaks/playtime for dogs with fenced in yards, large open properties, dogs who spend most of their time inside, or need more than a walk… while “dog walks” are leashed walks around your neighborhood. In my book, they both include lots of belly rubs, playtime, poop pickup, cleaned dog bowls/fresh water, meals & meds, and tons of time outdoors. 1-3 dogs $25 | 3+ dogs $30 Availability: Monday-Sunday HOUSESITTING: I no longer offer “overnight” housesitting but I do as many visits as you’d like, so your pups still enjoy steady company in the comfort of home sweet home. Always includes walks or potty breaks daily, meals & meds, playtime & exercise, lots of cuddles for dogs who’d rather snuggle than play, and light tidying up (clean dog bowls, poop pickup, quick sweep) so you come home to your space the way you left it. See drop-in/dog walk pricing. CAT CARE: more than willing to help with cat care for clients already paying for dog care (no cat-only services). Includes meals & meds, snuggles, playtime, and cat litter. On average its only an extra $5-15 total (depending on duration of stay). A note on distance/radius: please keep in mind Rover takes 20% of my rate, so in order to make a profit after gas and Rover fees, I only offer dog walks within a certain radius. Please touch base with any Qs! I'd love to help! WARNING: malicious inquiries have definitely come through so we'll schedule a free 20-30 minutes together beforehand! $20 OFF for first time clients when you use Danika 20 at rover.com/sit/danikalauren $20 OFF when you refer a neighbor/friend who books any service. Rover asks, “describe a typical visit.” A worn out dog is a happy dog! Walking is such a great opportunity to train & reinforce commands together too. But potty breaks, a game of fetch, tug, toys that release treats, ropes, stuffed animals, a local park, or snugglin on the couch can be just as interactive! I also know the stress that comes with living in various types of locations: our own dogs have lived on a busy road and a wide open farm. While I'm so proud of how obedient they've been off leash all these years, I know recall takes time to train so I’m more than willing to entertain your dog(s) on leash or in your yard. I understand they're domesticated animals that depend on us to supervise them! The least intimidating introductions, positive body language, smiles, belly rubs, and sticking to routines you've already built for them to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!

“Wonderful. Dave not only took care of my dog but helped me by picking Junior up and dropping him off. Junior was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Dave to help you with doggy day care or longer stays if needed.”


“Great communication, and wonderful care!”


About: I have many years of experience in animal care. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 4 years as a young adult. Since then I have cared for many pets, including my own. I also worked as a naturalist for a decade and during that time I cared for animals like birds, snakes and even tarantulas! I am calm, responsible and friendly and I am good with both human and animal communication and will work to help you and your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am currently finishing graduate school and am primarily working from home with a pretty flexible schedule. I am available for house sitting with advanced notice. I will always follow your lead when it comes to caring for your pet. I am able to accommodate pets with special needs, senior dogs, and dogs that need medication.
