Hi! My name is Danika
I am a freelance graphic designer/photographer working from home who loves using my pup Koda as an excuse to go to the beach for a walk.
I have grown up around animals my whole life and was raised on a 10 acre lifestyle block always surrounded by cows, sheep, cats and dogs. I am the biggest fan of dogs big or small! I have a 2 year old Black Labrador named Kenai and a 6 year old Black Minature Poodle x Papillon x Silky Terrier named Koda. Kenai lives with my family in Mangawhai on the 10 acre lifestyle block and Koda lives between me and my sister. I grew up with a Chocolate Labrador named Bennett who absolutley stole my heart and unfortunatly passed away two years ago.
While I was in high school, I would babysit and/or house sit almost every weekend for family friends or friends of friends. As I work from home, being able to house sit 24/7 would be no issue as I am already home for most of my day.
I am more than happy to bring Koda along with me if you're keen for you're pup to have some socialising :)
I am happy to do the following and am flexible to change:
- House sitting. There is where I stay at your home overnight to ensure that the animals feel safe and are not left alone. I will clear your mailbox for you & watch over your home. Because I work from home I am most likely able to stay in your home 24/7. The reason why I charge slightly higher for my pet sitting service is because I try my best to be there 24/7 :)
I love dogs of all ages and sizes so you can trust that your pup will be well taken care of and loved while you're away from them.
Looking forward to meeting you and your pups!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Danika took wonderful care of my lab, Archie, who is still in recovery mode from ACL surgeries. She ensured he got his walks twice a day and kept an eye out for signs of limping, resting him when needed. She gave him lots of love and cuddles and sent regular updates with photos. My house was very clean upon my return. Archie and I wouldn't hesitate to use Danika again :).
Once again, Danika did a stellar job of looking after our house and our wee dog Freddie — this time for an extended period while we were away in Europe. It was so reassuring to get frequent reports and cute doggie photos to let us know that all was well at home. Danika is a very conscientious house- and petsitter, and Freddie bonded with her little dog Koda — a positive experience all round!
