"Dani has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. She conducted thorough intakes to understand their schedules and personalities and provided daily updates throughout the day. We've used her for walks, home visits, and overnight stays while on vacation, and couldn't be happier with her service and care. Dani's dedication and love for our dogs are evident in every interaction. Highly recommend her pet sitting services!"

"Dani was amazing! She helped my anxious dog, Poppy, get through my first trip away from her. She sent frequent updates, asked all the right questions, and made sure Poppy had all the love and attention she needed. She also left the house spotless. I will definitely be booking with Dani again!"

"It’s very unusual for Belle to warm up to someone so fast, but Daniela is someone truly special! She spent tons of time learning about Belle’s needs and routine, and is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, reliable, proactive, and thoughtful. We could not be more comfortable. Daniela will definitely be our go to sitter, and she gets our top recommendation!"

"If you’re looking for a top-notch pet sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further than Dani. During our recent trip to Italy, we entrusted Dani with the care of our beloved senior cat, Bibi. Dani's dedication and exceptional care truly exceeded our expectations. At the start of our trip, Bibi fell ill, and Dani was quick to notify us, sending us pictures and updates to keep us informed. Her proactive approach included taking Bibi to the vet, administering medication, and staying in close contact with both us and the vet throughout the entire two-week period. Thanks to Dani's vigilance and compassionate care, Bibi was fully recovered when we came home. We highly recommend Dani!!!"

"Daniela was amazing with our Saige whom is 10 1/2 and gone thru Chemo for her lymphoma over the past 2 1/2 years and became completely blind 6 months ago. Daniela was very kind and patient with her as Saige walks very slowly being nervous of her surroundings due to her blindness. Daniela made Saige feel very confident while taking her on her walks and was timely and communicated and sent pictures while she had her out for walks :) She truly spoke and was very sweet to our Saige as if she was her own dog ; which was very comforting to us; we will definately reach out to Daniela in the future when we are back in town!"

REIKI THERAPY
A research-backed relaxation therapy
What is Reiki?:
Reiki is a gentle relaxation therapy and one of the most studied complementary therapies. It is offered in many medical facilities worldwide as a supportive therapy for stress relief, pain management, and anxiety reduction. However, Reiki is not a medical treatment and does not replace veterinary care.
How it works:
During a session, I sit quietly with your pet, using light hand placements on or above specific areas of their body. Pets respond in different ways; some visibly relax or nap, others shift around and relax nearby at their own pace. All of these responses are normal, and sessions are always guided by your pet’s comfort level. Sessions for animals are usually 30 minutes or less. Most pets benefit from more frequent Reiki therapy at first, then transition to occasional “maintenance” sessions.
My credentials:
I’m certified by the International Center for Reiki Training and I also offer Reiki therapy to humans. Learn more here.
"We have always had a good experience with Daniela. She has been taking our 4 year old lab girl for walks. She has always reported how the walk went and if she notices something about her health or mood. We built up the trust to leave our girl with her for a week at our house when we were traveling out of state. They went on walks to different parks and hiking trails and let me add that my dog is a little stubborn and she is very particular about who she walks with and they did perfectly fine. She sent us photos and videos of their adventures and at the end of the day she was snoring with 4 paws up in the air on her favorite couch. Our girl is on a weight loss journey so Daniela made sure she got enough exercise and stimulation every day. Our flight got delayed on the way home and she was willing to stay with her until we got back. We can only recommend her, she is truly a devoted animal lover who you can trust your pet and your home with."

Safe rides & in-cabin companionship for your small pet
Local Transport: I provide secure, attentive ground transport for small and medium-sized pets. Whether it’s a vet appointment, grooming visit, or daycare. Your pet rides safely and comfortably, with my full supervision, secured with a seat belt or in a crate (as required by NJ law).

All pre-flight requirements (health certificates, airline bookings, crate compliance) must be completed by the pet parent in advance. Please note: I’m not responsible for denied boarding due to missing paperwork or airline-specific rules.
"Dani recently took care of our two rescue dogs and she exceeded all our expectations! She was super thorough on our initial meeting to get to know all of our dogs needs, from their food, allergies, medications, times to walk them, etc. She takes her job very seriously and ensured our dogs were well taken care of during our vacation. One of our rescue dogs, Pennie, is super scared of everything and Dani made sure she gave her extra time to adjust to her and now Pennie is so fond of her. Both of our dogs take different medications and different kind of food intake, Dani made sure to follow their meds and food regiment to the a T. We are so happy that we found Dani. She is true gem!"

"Daniela is a committed pet caregiver who provides care above and beyond her contract.

She is capable of taking action independently on behalf of her client within the scope of her care while informing and giving us choices. We were completely comfortable leaving our nearly 21-year old cat with many medical issues in her care for over a week."
