I'll love your Dog like my own!
Pet care experience
Hello! 👋🏻 My name is Dana and we might have already met before, I’m the girl who walks around Hoboken asking to pet everyone’s dogs! 😁 I have always been a HUGE animal lover! Growing up, I had both a dog & cat. I also spent a Summer volunteering at my local animal shelter where I was responsible for walking, feeding and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I spent many hours in the Cat room as well! I have a great amount of experience caring for dogs & cats for my friends and family. Previously, a roommate of mine was an active Rover-sitter and was always bringing home new furry friends for us to care for. I LOVED having the Dogs around and thought it would be great to do this now living on my own! I am also very active walking dogs on Wag! (Photos attached). On Wag, I am a “Top Pet Caregiver” and have been awarded many achievements such as “Preferred Clients”, “Above and Beyond”, “Extra Caring” and more. (Photo attached showing all achievements). I am happy to take care of both cats and dogs… and fish, hamsters, bunnies, etc.! I live near multiple dog parks and love being outside for a long walk!
Reviews
Dana was amazing- so communicative and responsible. She was the first person to ever watch my puppy that wasn’t my parents so I was a bit nervous but Dana really went above and beyond with continuously updating me. Would definitely use her again- my puppy seemed so happy!!!!
Dana S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Dana is the best! We trust Dana to take care of Hazel and know Hazel always misses Dana when she leaves. Dana is very flexible with her schedule and we appreciate the cute photo updates we get throughout the day :)
She was great! My cats were very happy.

I will treat your dog as if they are mine, your dog will be allowed on the couch, bed, etc. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible! I am also surrounded by dog parks and great areas to walk. There are 4-7 dog parks within a 5-10 minutes walking distance from me. I live in a one bedroom apartment on the second floor in Uptown Hoboken. The building has an elevator and the front door is secured. I am located right on Washington Street, so your pet can enjoy their daily people watching by the window! I have a Animal free, smoke free home and also have a car, if needed for any emergency situations.

Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet
We will review many details prior, in order to give your Dog the best experience possible! Some things I will like to know ahead of time are: How friendly is your dog when it comes to other people/animals? Does your dog have specific way they communicate? (example: barking when they want to go outside). Dietary guidelines? Sleeping habits?
A typical day
I love to go on walks myself, and walking with a furry friend makes it even better! I live near the Hoboken waterfront, making this my favorite place to walk. Of course, I will follow your instructions on walking times/frequencies, but will also provide your furry bff that extra love and affection, so they don’t get too homesick! I will always provide the highest quality belly rubs, head scratches, treats, toys, etc. Your best friend is my best friend too!

Availability
I am currently working from home 3-4 days a week; typically WFH on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have a very flexible work schedule, if I needed to be available on a Tuesday or Thursday during the day I would just need about a 48 hour notice. I am free most weekends and am happy to stop in to feed and walk during the day!
