We have had Daniela watch our pets on several occasions over the past three years, including some trips that were a week or longer.  She has had to administer medication to our dog on occasion and always is willing to do whatever needs to be done with either pet.  We have always been very pleased.  Our pets seem content and well-cared for when we get home.  Daniela really seems to bond with the animals she watches, which makes it very easy to leave our pets with her when we go out of town.  

We would recommend Daniela to anyone that is looking for a competent, caring pet sitter!

Alison

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the care that you gave to my ten year old golden retriever and one year old yorkie who had never been left alone. I know they felt very comfortable in your home. Daniela you were awesome in every way from feeding, hugs, letting Darby move his bed into your room and giving Sasha plenty of outside fun and time to chase Teek.  They felt right at home and you treated them like family.  I never worried at all. 

Thank you for being such a great caregiver to my pets.

Katherine

You can certainly rely on Daniela for the absolute best care for your pet. She quickly made fast friends with my kitty (not always the easiest thing) and cared for her as if she were her own. Prior to her first visit, Daniela came by twice to get to know Seuss and asked all the right questions – some I would never have thought of.

I cannot imagine a more loving and responsible pet-sitter. 

I would be happy to talk with prospective clients.

Tracy, Charter Colony

I found Daniela thru our Charter Colony newsletter several years ago and highly recommend her services. 

My dog, Zoe, is always excited to see that’s where we are going and greets Daniela and her pets warmly. I never worry when I am out of town as I know Zoe is in good hands.
