Pet care experience
I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2021. I am studying to become a licensed mental health clinician. I was born and raised in Cambridge. I love animals! At UVA, I would foster puppies and kittens with SPCA in Charlottesville, VA. My family and I have two small dogs, but I have experience with larger dogs as well (including a Mastiff). I love cats just as much as dogs! I’m excited to be of service for you. Anything you need please let me know. I’m here to make things easier for you and your family. I’ll send lots of pics and videos! I prefer to work in my clients’ home to ensure safety and familiarity for the pets I care for. I want them to be the most comfortable they can be while you are away! I pay close attention to details about your fur baby and ask questions if I am uncertain! I do have a gated communal backyard. There’s also a gated dog park nearby. If we are at your home, I will be very observant and make sure to crate the pup if instructed, etc. I will make sure they don’t escape when I go in and out if they are not crated.
Reviews
Best walker I've ever had! Takes amazing care of my huge Alaskan malamute! Would recommend to everyone!
Thank you!
Ja'Dana was absolutely fantastic taking care of our pup for 3 days when were out of town. She even made time for a meet-and-great ahead of the stay. She kept us updated throughout the stay, and helped out with a favor when someone needed to pick up an item from the house. Our pup is still looking for her around the house :) We would highly recommend Ja'Dana's services!!
Ja'Dana did a fantastic job house sitting with our dog and made our first-ever experience with Rover.com so much less stressful! She came over to our place a couple of days in advance to meet our dog and to give me a chance to show her around and explain our routine. I was immediately at ease with her and felt confident leaving my dog with a 'stranger' for the first time. We were especially grateful that she was willing to stay in our apt. Ja'Dana sent us multiple photos and even a couple of videos. She communicated with us regularly with any questions. Can't recommend her enough!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am careful to ask a lot of questions to make sure I am providing what is needed. I haven’t run into something I don’t know how to do yet, especially with clear instructions, but if I did I would not hesitate to reach out.

Information Ja'Dana E. would like to know about your pet
During undergrad, I took a course to learn how to administer CPR/first aid, but we practiced solely on humans. I haven’t had to use those skills since then. I have recently refreshed my knowledge online, but have no formal dog CPR training. I do have a car, so I would be able to bring the dog to the Vet immediately in any emergency.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs/cats physically and mentally! We’ll play together, check out all the smells in the city, and I even have a “bark park” near my house!

I am mostly available right now. I have class for 2.5 hours on thursdays during this spring semester. During the summer, I will be taking two weekend courses, so I will be unavailable for 4 weekends. Otherwise I am free. I will keep my Rover schedule updated.
