Pet Sitting Darnall

“This was my first time using Rover for any services, and I’m entirely pleased with the care that my puppy received! I have a busy schedule and adopted a new puppy that needs more attention than I can give right now, and Dana helped my puppy transition to her new life. I came home every day to a clean space, and a happy puppy! Dana is a reliable and caring puppy sitter!!”

About: Hi pet guardians! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. Please take a moment to review my bio and if you think I would be a good fit I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂 _____ About Me _____ I am a certified and insured dog trainer specialized in the area of applied canine ethology (dog socialization, and body language). _____ Experience, Education & Philosophy _____ I've done a lot of work in kennels, shelters and with rescue organizations, rehabilitating dogs with behavioral issues. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a certification in Canine Agonistic Behavior from Cambridge University's Ethology Institute, and I'm also a trainer in good standing with the Pet Professionals Guild. I'm a Fear Free practitioner, a positive (R+) trainer, and I adhere to ethical standards for modern, humane, science-based training. I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity. All dogs in my care enjoy a managed environment prioritizing safety, comfort, fairness, and fun. Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise. Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!

“Paige has been amazing and made sure to keep me posted on my little cat! Not only did my cat get the basics covered but was also provided with well needed cuddles!”

“Took great care of my cat for the 2 weeks I was gone. Kept in touch each drop in and was super easy to communicate with. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Sabrina!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.

About: I have been a cat owner and dog owner for the majority of my life. I have extra time now as I have just retired and would love to help you care for your pet when you are unavailable.

The pets that I have had in the past have been part of my family, and I take the utmost care to make sure they are safe and comfortable and loved.

About: No matter what age your pet is, I have some form of experience with them ranging from walking, feeding, bathing, and at times medical care. I've owned both big and small dogs, and my priority is keeping them safe and happy. I'm currently a student so I'll be working around my class schedule. I'm available in the morning M/W, and late-morning and afternoons T/Th/F. I'm up for scheduling on weekends as well! I'll always make sure your home stays clean while taking care of your pet(s). While making sure your pet is taken care of, I'll do my best to make sure they don't get into any trouble and no mess is left behind.

“Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”
