Danielle

Hi there!

My name is Danielle, and I've just moved to Vancouver as a PhD student at UBC. I've been pet-sitting with Pawshake since 2016 in Edmonton and Calgary, and am excited to continue here in Vancouver! I'm an active individual, and whether it's playing volleyball, scuba diving, or a quick mountain getaway for some skiing or hiking, I'm always looking for something to do. This is only part of what makes me a great candidate to care for your pet(s) while you're away, no matter how energetic they are!

I have 1.5 years of experience volunteering with dogs at the Edmonton Humane Society. During this time I interacted with dogs who had behavioural concerns, injuries, and/or dietary restrictions. I also grew up with large, high-energy dogs, including a border collie/Australian cattle dog mix, a Siberian husky/rough collie mix, and a husky/German shepherd mix. I have experience walking more than 1 dog at a time, feeding dogs and cats with different dietary requirements (including allergies), providing medications and doing everything I can to give your pets the attention they need while you're away! I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes.

Let me tell you a bit about the services I can offer. I'm available for pet-sitting services with 1 or 2 visits daily, where each visit is approx. 1 hour. I also offer house-sitting services where I will stay at your home with your pet(s). I have previously house-sat for cat, dog and even fish-owners! When you book me for house-sitting, I will be at home with your pet for the majority of the day outside of working times (and of course the night). But don't stress, your expectations and my availability can be discussed prior to booking!

I would love to provide my dog or cat sitting services for you and your furry best friends, so please reach out with booking requests or any other questions!
