Expert and trusted care for your pet.


Who I am
Tailored Pet Care Solutions.
Hello, I’m Danette! With over 20 years of experience in caring for pets belonging to friends and family, I have turned my lifelong passion for animals into a fulfilling profession. I founded Danette’s Comfy Critters to create a space where pets are treated like family, and over time, this venture has blossomed into something truly beautiful.
I am a licensed and insured pet sitter with a solid background in veterinary assistance, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to provide top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a certified Pet First Aid and CPR provider, the safety and well-being of your furry friends are my top priorities.
At home, I share my life with my wonderful husband, Steve, along with our 5 dogs, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon. Our home environment is calm and nurturing, and we are excited to extend that love and care to your pets. Together, we have the experience and dedication to provide a safe and comfortable home away from home for your furry companions.
I believe in personalized care and foster a loving atmosphere for all pets entrusted to me. This approach, combined with a commitment to patience and understanding, ensures that both owners and pets feel secure and cared for. I am here to make sure your pets receive the best while giving you peace of mind during your time away.
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Posted on Michele BergerJune 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do I begin?! We recently moved here from the East Coast of Florida and I was so nervous to board my Miss Molly! High anxiety, scared of storms, and more!! She immediately took to Danette and Uncle Steve! She usually doesn’t do well with men so I was worried! We did a meet and greet and she was in her element right away with all the love and warmth they brought. By her first overnight trial she pretty much claimed them as part of the pack! We just returned from a week long getaway and Molly became part of their family right away. The love, attention and communication daily was top notch! Our connecting flight was cancelled and they were actually happy they could have her another night over. I am beyond blessed to have found such wonderful humans to love and care for my sweet girl! I highly recommend and would give them 100 stars!!!Posted on alyseyuhasApril 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never used a pet sitter before and I was a little nervous at first, but Danette made the process of leaving my animals super easy. She went above and beyond, providing me with lots of pictures and videos! Danette truly made me feel safe leaving them in her care. Both of my animals can be picky with people and they adore her. I would defiantly recommend using Danette’s Comfy Critters!Posted on Patty OuelletteMarch 1, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Violet is new to daycare and I know because of Danette’s smooth transition, Violet is always happy to be there. Thanks Danette!Posted on Rita SilversDecember 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Danette’s Comfy Critters for doggie daycare. Abby goes every Friday!!Posted on Laurie HollowayDecember 14, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danette, is a energetic animal lover. She is dependable and terrific with our cats. You might think of her as a "cat whisper " She takes time to get to know and work with the "girls". We appreciate all that she does for them.Posted on Alan HermanSeptember 19, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Danette through Facebook and we are so happy we did. Danette came to our home to meet Maddie our 10+ year old Shar Pei - Retriever mix. Maddie has some separation anxiety issues so we were looking for someone that could care for her for day trips, overnight stays and vacations. Maddie loved Danette and vice a versa from the moment they met. Danette’s background absolutely plays a huge role in her taking care of pups that have “some special needs”. Danette takes such wonderful care of Maddie, we jokingly wonder if she will want to to come back home given how much fun she has playing with all the other furry friends. Danette keeps us posted with whatever is going on with Maddie and we just don’t worry when she’s with her. Maddie has some diet & medication protocols and Danette is right on top of that for her. That peace of mind means everything. If you’re looking for someone to love and take care of your fur babies like you do, we highly recommend Danette. Thanks Danette for taking such good care of our fur baby 🐾💕🐶.Posted on Linda TownsendJune 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danette is amazing with our cats. She is so patient and kind. She spends time with each of them(5) playing. She really loves them we can tell and our domesticated feral loves her which is rare. She tells them she loves them. She talks to them and sings to them. We highly recommend Danette for reliable loving and compassionate pet care.Posted on Elizabeth RogerioJune 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danette is the best! She watched my two tabby felines, Biscuit and Saracha, for a whole week while I was vacationing in Las Vegas. She made daily house visits for litter scooping and feeding, hung out and played with them and sent me lots of photos of them having a blast. She even brought them Churu treats which was a very thoughtful touch (and I had to buy more because they loved them so much). I really felt at ease knowing she was there with them - she treated them like they were her own pets. I can't thank her enough! I 100% recommend her for your pet sitting needs!Posted on Raeanna DurhamJune 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danette is amazing. Atlas loves visiting her and her doggies! He comes home so tuckered out but never wants to leave when we pick him up! Her land is huge with plenty of safe space for my pup to get all his energy out. I also love that she sends me periodic photos of my dog doing his activities throughout the day! could not recommend more highly!Posted on Anna KnappJune 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When you have to leave your pups I highly recommend Danette, she watched my dog for over a week and sent me pics and kept me updated on how my boy was doing Dexter had a blast there and I will definitely have him stay with Danette again when we go on vacationVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
