About: I've been surrounded by the loving presence of dogs and cats my entire life. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I'm comfortable with all stages of pet life, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I work from 6pm to 2 am so my days and afternoons are very flexible and free, perfect if you need me to take care of your pet while you are working. I taker care of them, play with them, make sure they eat and drink water when they need to, and make sure they are having a good time, always.

About: I am a big animal lover and have one of my own! Love playing and walking dogs it’s my stress release! I have worked with animals my whole life, grew up on a farm in a small town which meant you helped all your neighbors no matter how many miles apart. If you need to get away or just are having a busy weekend I can help you out so give me a call. I am free a lot of the time except for Thursday so I can stop in when you need me I just need a day or two notice. When it’s nice out we will go outside to play and when it’s gross out we can stay in or go for a car ride.
6. Daena S.
“We used Daena several times to pet sit for our elderly golden retriever, and she was terrific! She genuinely cared for our pet and went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and well taken care of while we were gone. It was always such a comfort knowing that our sweet, old dog was in excellent hands while we were away. Daena is very loving and patient with animals and is highly knowledgeable with caring for them. Our dog was on a lot of medications at the time, and Daena did a super job managing all of this for us. I highly recommend Daena and will use her again in the future!”
