I live full-time on the road with my four-legged sidekick, Cody—a Jack Russell–Beagle mix and best buddy. His safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal I care for with the same devotion. Your pets will be protected, comforted, and showered with attention (and yes—probably too many pictures!).
I stay active as a trail runner, skier, and rock climber, and I absolutely love being outdoors—especially with dogs by my side.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur family soon!
I’m a dog mom, lifelong animal lover, and professional pet and house sitter since 2013. Over the past decade, I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs across the country, offering dependable, loving care while their families are away. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m here to help your pets feel like they’re on a vacation of their own!
Drop-ins for kitties too. Quick visits for food, litter scooping, and love while you're away.
Whether it’s cuddles or space—they get exactly what they need.
Quick check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, and ear scratches while you're out.
Walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. A sniffing safari or brisk walk for fresh air and exercise.
Reliable in-home care for your pets and property while you're out of town
More than just feeding and walking—I move in, keep your routine going, and give your pets consistent, loving care while you’re away. I treat your home with the same attention and respect I give your pets: clean, quiet, and secure. Whether it’s managing meds, easing anxiety, or sticking to exact feeding schedules, I make sure everything runs smoothly until you’re home again. Updates and daily photos always included.
Best for: Vacations, work trips, or anytime your pet needs company overnight
Includes: Morning + evening walks, feeding, meds, mail, plants, and all the cuddles.
A safe, fun walk tailored to your dog’s pace, energy level, and personality. 30 minutes to smell all the smells and roll in the grass or run 3 miles, it's specific to your pup!
Best for: Midday energy burners, lonely pups, or dogs who thrive on routine
Includes: GPS-tracked walk, water refill, and post-walk photo update
A quick but focused check-in to care for your pets and give them love and attention while you’re out. I’ll handle feeding, potty breaks, light playtime, and whatever else they need to feel seen and safe.
Best for: Cats, senior dogs, puppies needing extra potty breaks, or pets who don’t need full walks
Includes: Potty break, food/water refresh, medication if needed, and an update with photos
"We have been working with Danette for several years now. She always exceeds our expectations. From our two older dogs to our new pup she has always catered to every need. Danette is very pro active. She has gone as far as helping us socialize our new puppy to recommending food that helped his sensitive tummy. She is extremely trustworthy and respectful. I have reserved her months in advance for fear she will not be available! She always sends updates and pictures. I would highly recommend Danette to anyone needing a pet sitter."

"If I could give Danette ten stars, I would! She was reliable, friendly and communicative. She's a lovely human and did a wonderful job with our anxious pup. I'd have her back every time if we could! Danette is absolutely wonderful and she's welcome back anytime to our home."

"Danette had a great stay with my cat and beagle along with Cody. The boys were very happy and exercised when we got back. She was clean and communicative, we’d love to have her back again."
