“Danielle was amazing! She is kind and professional and very good at communicating. She arrived to the scheduled visits on time (if not early! Even at 6 am!) And she seemed to click right away with my shy cat. She was also incredibly helpful when we had an ant issue with our cats food as she cleaned it up and crafted a method to leave the food out in a way the ants wouldn't get to it. I highly recommend Danielle as a pet sitter and will absolutely be using her services again.”
About: Other than growing up with numerous pets my whole life, I have had a lot of pet care experience over the past years for families around my community that rely on me when they are away. I have a fairly open schedule all week and I do not mind checking up on pets early in the morning or late at night. I am able and comfortable with feeding your pets, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I do my best to stick to their routine that is provided to me and will respect the animals space and boundaries as well as your home.

Previously, when I am taking care of a pet at a client’s home I will ask the owner what they typically do for their pets during the day and try to replicate that as best as I can for the pets!

“Rachele has been an advocate for animals throughout her life. She currently owns 2 cats and provides them with love and nurturing every day. She took in her most recent cat from a woman who could not provide for it any longer. I can't recall a time when I saw her without a furry feline in her home. Rachele is also at ease with dogs. She has spent time with my Jack Russel Terrier as well as my sister's 3 dogs. She shows them the same affection as her own pets.

Anna M.
“We are incredibly grateful for Anna's exceptional care of our beloved Yorkies, Rory and Finley, while we were away. Anna graciously stayed at our home, allowing our pups to remain in their familiar environment, which is so important for their well-being. Both Rory and Finley are quite small (4 and 5 pounds), and we find that having a sitter stay with them is the best option compared to using kennels. Anna treated them like her own, showering them with love and attention. She provided us with regular updates and check-ins, which put our minds at ease while we were away. To our surprise, Rory and Finley seemed genuinely happy and enjoyed having Anna as their playmate! It's clear they formed a wonderful bond, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Anna did a fantastic job, and we will definitely rely on her as our go-to house and pet sitter in the future. She is courteous, polite, and remarkably trustworthy. Thank you, Anna, for being such a wonderful friend to our fur babies!”
