Los Feliz

Pet Sitting

I’m Danielle, your new pet sitter! I’m currently taking clients from Los Feliz and a small radius outside of Los Feliz (west silverlake & east hollywood).

I’m insured, reliable and have a background and understanding of ‘fear free’ and consent-driven pet interactions, and I have Pet First Aid & CPCR Training.

I have years of experience with diabetic, senior, hospice and special needs cats, with an understanding of diabetic injections, special diets and medication administration. I have never spent a day without a cat by my side, and I will treat yours with the love, care and empathy that I treat my own.

Have questions? Well I have answers! Click here to see my FAQs! If those don’t answer your questions, email me!

I’ve been living and running my pet photography studio in Los Feliz for 16 years, and I share my home with three happy rescue cats, Plissken and Pockets, who fill my days with love and companionship. Pets have always been at the center of my life. Growing up with two scientist parents, I was encouraged to explore and care for all kinds of animals, from lizards and hamsters to tarantulas, fish, and cats of every age and ability.

Over the years, I’ve developed a calm, gentle approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I love supporting pets with activities that keep their minds sharp, while also giving them the space to feel safe and autonomous. I specialize in working with cats, especially seniors or those with health concerns, using fear-free methods and letting each pet come to me at their own pace.

For dogs, I focus on positive, calming reinforcement during home visits and walks. My walks are relaxed and enriching, giving dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and catch up on all the “neighborhood gossip.”

I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets to see if I’m the right fit for your pet sitting needs.

Contact me below to see if I’m the right sitter for you, and set up a complimentary meet and greet. I work in Los Feliz and a radius outside of Los Feliz. Radius outside of Los Feliz often depends on drive & parking time.

Danielle is a psycho pet person…and I say that endearingly because I’m a psycho pet person! And I only trust fellow psycho pet people with my two pups, Lola and Jacks. I trust Danielle implicitly! There’s nothing more important to Danielle than her own pets, so she knows how much yours mean to you. She’s generally great with all animals. She knows how to put them at ease and they’re very comfortable with her! In an emergency situation, there’s nobody I’d trust more outside of myself! Bonus: ask her to write and perform a little jingle for your pet!

Danielle is the best! She walks our dog and also is our cat sitter for our diabetic cat. 100% reliable, punctual and goes the extra mile for both of our animals. She's been an absolute lifesaver and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or cat/dog sitter.

-Geoff from Google Reviews

Danielle truly is the best. She provided exceptional care for our diabetic cat, Junie. Managing a diabetic pet is always a concern, but Danielle quickly put us at ease—understood our cat’s complex needs and, more importantly, formed a genuine bond with her.

We received daily updates, including photos and videos, and returned home to a calm, healthy cat—which speaks to Danielle’s attentive and affectionate care.

I am so glad I found Danielle, she took the best care of my anxious cat while I was out of town. She is extremely friendly, easy to work with, responsible, caring, and left my apartment spotless. Highly recommend!!!😸
