About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.

I am knowledgeable in many areas, including: Animal Behaviors Dog/Cat Grooming (basic-nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression dogs) CPR and First Aid I do have dogs and cats of my own to take care of daily.

“Danielle watches our lab Cooper whenever we are in the Detroit area. He has such a blast with their dogs and is always so excited to visit! They have a fenced in yard and Cooper LOVES to be outside so this is so perfect for him. When we go on vacation and Danielle watches him, Cooper goes on his own vacation too staying with them (he arguably has more fun than we do)!!! Great pet caregiver, would highly recommend”
