I'm definitely the most free on nights and weekends but I am also available early morning for those morning walks and feeding schedules! I work in calendar management so structuring my day is something I excel at in order to ensure all my commitments are pre-planned and executed effectively.

About Dana B.

Communication

23 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
100% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

7 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I always defer to the instructions the owner gives me. If the cat is not allowed on the counters, I will ensure they are not there. If the dog needs a certain amount of play time or a certain toy, I will always give them what they need in order to properly care for them.

Information Dana B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there's anything that's out-of-bounds for them to do/get on top of, and of course if they have certain medications they need to take.

A typical day

For cats, I love using wand toys and laser pointers for enrichment. Cat nip can be great for motivation, but only if it's okay with the owner. For dogs, I tend to play tug-of-war and can help motivate them to run with spirited movements and speech. I'm also a fan of getting my steps in with pups, and allowing them the freedom to sniff their environment for enrichment.

Pet care experience

I have cared for a plethora of animals from dogs to birds to bearded dragons to cats and I know that the pet owner knows best. I respect and implement routines that you set including feeding schedules, commands, crate time, house rules, and overall routines. I also ensure to provide plenty of love and affection for your pets while you are away. **Please be advised that I unfortunately do not have middle-of-the-day availability during the week. I can offer appointments prior to 8am and after 5pm M-F. My time is a little more flexible on the weekends, though.**

We were so lucky to connect with Dana for a last minute pet sit. She was very communicative and followed our instructions to a tee. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

Dana is the best. She has taken such great care of our boys for almost 2 years now. She is incredibly communicative, caring, and takes great pictures!

Dana did great with my senior cat! It was nice to be away and not worry about him, even though he has become more frail. I was happy with the communication and adherence to my requests for care. I could tell Dana had a lot of experience and knew all the right questions to ask before the booking began. Highly recommend! I will be using this sitter again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
