Safety, trust & environment

I live in a nice little neighborhood where there are plenty of places to go for walks. I could definitely crate your dog if needed. I’m perfectly fine letting it roam around my place as well. I keep my place very clean and always make sure that I’m not leaving anything that my own dog could eat or chew on the floor.

Information Dana A. would like to know about your pet

Since I have a dog of my own, I need to know if your dog gets along with others before scheduling a meet and greet.

A typical day

I have no problem playing fetch with a pup in my home and I also live near plenty of places to walk when it’s not too hot or cold out.

Happy to look after your pup!

Pet care experience

I grew up with goldens in my home. I recently got a dog of my own! I’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Nala received! From the moment we met Dana, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the sweetest parts was seeing how well Nala got along with her dog, Marvel. They became such good buddies and would even snuggle together for naps, which was absolutely adorable and made us feel even better knowing Nala was so comfortable and happy there. Nala came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. Communication was always prompt and professional, and scheduling was easy. We’ve already booked future stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Nala!

Dana was fantastic! My dog Romeo was with her for 12 days while I was away on a business trip and she sent updates (with photos) daily. She clearly loves animals and took great care of Romeo. I'll definitely book her again!
