Danielle Niaz | Trusted & Trauma-Informed House + Pet Sitter

About this sitter

Hello! I’m Danielle — a trauma-informed educator, yoga therapist, and lifelong animal lover with deep experience caring for everything from senior dogs and feisty cats to horses, reptiles, and even a house rooster. I grew up in a home full of animals and now offer respectful, professional house and pet sitting rooted in patience, intuition, and kindness.

I specialize in senior care, medication administration, and supporting rescue or shelter animals using trauma-informed practices. My approach is calm, reliable, and deeply nurturing — for both pets and their people.

I’m currently traveling while working remotely, and I’m seeking peaceful, grounded sits where I can care for animals, tend to the home, and contribute to a sense of ease while the owners are away. I treat every space with reverence and love to send updates so you can truly relax on your travels.

Whether it’s a cozy apartment or a quiet farm, I’m honored to hold space for your home and your beloved companions. Let’s connect — I’d love to care for your world while you rest or roam.

Warmly,
Danielle ??

Why they want to house sit

House sitting is more than just a way to travel — for me, it’s a meaningful exchange rooted in trust, care, and connection. I love creating calm, nurturing environments where animals feel safe and homes are honored with respect. As someone who works remotely and values peaceful, grounding spaces, house sitting allows me to offer what I do best: attentive care, patience, and kindness.

I also find joy and comfort in the companionship of animals. Each sit is a chance to build connection, share love, and help people travel with peace of mind knowing their home and pets are in good hands. It’s a beautiful way to live in service while traveling with intention and grace.

Their experience

Yes — I’ve house sat in Venice, CA, Austin, TX, and Charlotte, NC, caring for pets, homes, and plants while homeowners traveled. Though these sits were before the pandemic, and I no longer have formal references from them, the experience remains foundational. I’ve continued to care for animals and homes in personal and professional settings ever since.

My deep experience with animals — from horses and senior pets to rescue animals and exotics — combined with my background in trauma-informed care and education has helped me become an intuitive, dependable sitter. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, regardless of whether I’m staying for a weekend or a month.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a calm, steady presence and a deep respect for the sacredness of home. With a background in trauma-informed education and wellness, I care for pets and homes with intuitive awareness, clear communication, and loving consistency.

You can expect:
• Thoughtful pet care (including medications, special diets, senior and rescue support)
• A quiet, clean presence that honors your space
• Daily updates with photos if desired
• Attention to detail with mail, plants, routines, and house care
• Remote work flexibility — I’m present, quiet, and rarely leave the home for long stretches

I bring patience, kindness, and a deep appreciation for the trust homeowners place in me. Whether you have a shy cat, an energetic pup, or a cozy garden sanctuary, I offer a peaceful and trustworthy presence while you’re away.
