Danielle has cared for my senior cat many times over the past year and a half. It is so comforting to know that my cat is being cared for by someone so reliable, trustworthy, and intuitive. She truly loves cats and bonded easily with my own. I highly recommend her!!!

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet care provider with 2 years of experience in both dog walking and sitting. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, playing fetch, or keeping your pet company while you're away, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I'm currently a University Student and would love to care for some pups during my summer break! I will have more than enough time to work and provide care for your pups! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always aim to keep their routine normal and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, along with regular feedings, walks, and any special care they need. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.

About: I’ve had two dogs at home for most of my life and loved each second of being a dog mom! At Stanford I am on the rugby team and love being outside playing with the team dog. In my free time I enjoy going to east bay spca and SF SPCA to walk the dogs and share my love with the doggies who have been there a bit longer. I have trained both of my dogs in my home state to do off leash walks, protective watch and the classic tricks like shake and roll over . I am home most afternoons and will spend the evening after the sun has cooled off playing with your furbaby and making sure they get their steps in! This looks like 2-3 hours of play time and 3-4 walks in the after noon. Campus is such a dog friendly neighborhood and multiple private fenced areas. Having two off leash dogs back home I and very attentive in our walks and take time to learn your dogs play style so we are both having fun! I also have training with crate time and reactive dogs (all fur babies deserve love).

About: My experience with dogs started when I rescued a 1-month dog. At that time, I was all his family. I felt in love with him, and named him Limo. Ever since, I informed myself and started taking care of all aspects of Limo's life. I educated him to be respectful of spaces in the house, where to sleep and where not to, how to behave when I was not home, and also some nice tricks to entertain him such as sitting, laying, closing a cupboard, and others. I enjoyed my time with Limo so much, he was my companion. When I moved to the US, I left Limo with my family in the house we all lived together, as I was afraid that the long flight from Italy would be too stressful for him. Life with a dog is fulfilling, and I miss Limo a lot, hence I thought hosting and taking care of dogs here could be a great way to keep being surrounded by these amazing animals. I love pets in general, and I'am always happy to have them sleeping next to me, cuddle them, play with them and walk them around - everything I could do with them is just magic. I currently work as a cook at mornings, but have normally plenty of time in the afternoon to walk dogs. At weekends, I could also host dogs at night - me and my wife are normally home, wither both or one of us, and love pets. Me and my wife have a fenced backyard where pets can safely stay, run and play. We also have a nice front yard, and plenty of area we can walk to. Our house isn't too big, but does not have carpet, which is ideal for hosting pets.

About: I've always been very attached to dogs but I love all the animals small and big. I have a deep fascination for insects, reptiles and birds aswell. I'm usually flexible and have a big sized backyard at my current inlaw unit where dogs can walk around freely and be safe. I love to hike and take animal care very serious. I am certified in information and cloud security (by isc2) and live by security standards which includes privacy. I will listen to instructions of the owner and won't let my clients dogs off-leash without their agreement or my assessment (for example).
