Pet care experience

Best care of your best friend!

Check your dog into this historic 1857 Northside rowhouse DogBnB! Hi, I'm Damara! I have grown up with dogs my entire life. We recently said goodbye to our senior Boston Terrier in January of this year. We have owned multiple Boston Terriers for the past 20 years. I also recently fostered a Goberian (half Golden Retriever/half Husky) for 4 months so am comfortable with large dogs as well as small. I work a hybrid schedule that I manage myself so can be home most of the time with your pet. If I do need to be in the office I am only gone for 4-5 hours at a time. I have a fenced in, brick courtyard that's great for quick potty breaks and lounging in the sun. But I also really enjoy long walks so can accomodate whatever your pet prefers. Happy to discuss everything and will do whatever is best for your pet. We also own a Syrian Hamster named Cookie Dough that is completely secure in her enclosure. Your pet would have to be ok with children (extra play time for your pet) because I have a 9 year old daughter who is here most of the time. I will be the person providing care to your pet 100% of the time. At no time will my child be responsible for or left alone with your pet. Any additional questions, please ask. We are not yet ready for our own full time dog and we miss having one around so I figured we would give Rover a try. Look forward to meeting you and your pet. I have ny own pet care insurance through PCI.

Damara was soo amazing with my puppy June. It was my first time leaving her so I was nervous. Damara sent a ton of updates and even taught June a new trick! I felt so at ease knowing June was in good hands. Damara really treated her like her own and I know June was comfortable and happy there. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!

Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!

Damara handled my husky’s shenanigans perfectly! Great communication, always gave me updates/photos, and my dog looked so happy to be with her. I would recommend her to anyone and trust her with my fur baby any time!

Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.

Damara was easy to meet and talk about dogs and other things and we had a great time just meeting. Laddie I am sure enjoyed his visit--he actually acted a bit peeved that Andrea was picking him up. We are happy to have found Damara and plan on using her services more often.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in brick courtyard that is great for quick potty breaks or basking in the sun. Also comfortable walking your pet long distances if they need a lot of exercise. I have my own pet care insurance through PCI.

A typical day

I can do whatever your pet desires. I can take long walks in the local park or neighborhood. We can play fetch in the house or yard. Or just cuddle on the couch all day. Your pet will be the only pet here and will be looked after like our own.

Let me know if your pet doesn't do well with children. I have a 9 year old daughter who will be here most of the time. At no time will my child be left alone with your pet.
