About the author

Danielle Sigmon grew up in New England. Her love for animals started at a very young age, rescuing lost cats and loving all dogs. After high school, she joined the US Navy and lived and traveled extensively abroad. After the Navy, she continued her public service career and worked for the Federal Government for twenty-four years. Her jobs took her to Puerto Rico, Maryland, Florida, and Washington, DC. In DC she met and married her husband, John, and they lived a few miles from the US Capitol, where Danielle also worked. They enjoyed the city life and all it had to offer. They welcomed their first dog into their home, Kayla the German Shepherd, and she changed their lives forever. After a couple of years, they also welcomed Falco and then Oskar, both shepherds as well. They bought a house in the country in the Finger Lakes of New York and enjoyed many weekends and vacations up there. Then came a day when Danielle decided to change her life. She decided to quit her federal job, move to the country home, and build her own dog-walking business. This is her first book, and she is currently working on the sequel. Danielle also spends time on her photography and volunteering at the Humane Society of Yates County, where she and her dog Oskar are on the board of directors.
