Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Dana, an Alpha-Mom to my many fur babies and a Mom to my 2 Human Boys (16 years old & 9 years old)! I have been dog sitting and dog walking since I was a teenager (I'm over 35 years old now) and I've always loved caring for animals! I have worked at kennels, volunteered at animal shelters, and bathed/groomed dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and ferrets throughout my life (I also have experience clipping nails & dispensing medicine to Dogs, Cats, and Ferrets too). ***Please Keep in Mind*** I also work a busy full-time job Monday thru Friday, care for 2 minor children, care for all my fur-babies, and care for others fur-babies too, please be patient with me when responding to messages... As I may not respond to messages very quickly, but I will message you back as soon as I possibly can (usually within the same day / within 24 hours). Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding! *For Additional Services: Nail Trimming & Dog or Cat Poop Scooping Services... Please visit my FB page at "DB's Dog & Cat Services" (Located in Genoa, IL). Message me anytime to discuss extra services I can provide. *For Dog Walking: All dogs should have a type of harness for dog walking (Example: body harness, martingale collar, gentle leader)... These types of harnesses help with walking a dog properly and keeping them safe on a leash. ***Retractable Leashes are UNSAFE and NOT recommended for Dog Walking!***
Reviews
Dana is amazing!!!! She loves our dogs and our dogs love her! They are always excited to see Dana! You can tell Dana is always full hearted for the animals. The first time with my dogs you could tell that she was taking the time to make sure they were comfortable with her. That alone told me that my dogs would be in good hands.
Dana did an amazing job watching my doggo while away for two weeks! She sent multiple pictures on a daily basis along with a message on how the day went. I know my pooch loved her fenced yard and enjoyed time playing with her own two dogs as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Dana is GREAT! First time EVER having to leave a pet with someone we didn't know. Just from meeting Dana, I knew she was genuine, loving and has a passion for animals. She even taught our dog (or taught us) a new trick that worked to get our dog to eat AT mealtime! She sent pictures or videos daily so we could see our baby having fun. That helped us have fun on vacation knowing our fur baby was having fun too! Would give her 10 stars if I could! Will use her services every time we need to go. Hate to refer anyone to her because she will be booked!! But if you need to leave your baby with someone, Dana is the one.
Dana is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog loved staying there and Dana kept me updated with pictures the entire time. She is extremely easy to work with and it made our trip more enjoyable knowing our pup was well taken care of. I would 100% use Dana again as a dog sitter!

Information Dana B. would like to know about your pet
I will only care for your pet(s) if you have a "Meet & Greet" before your booking. We need to make sure your pets like me, and it'll be a good fit for you as the owner and me as the pet sitter. When I watch your pet(s), Please make sure they have their current Rabies Tag and ID Tag on their collar. Please let me know if your dog has any certain behaviors I need to know about before a booking... - Examples: Pees when they are excited, Prone to nervous reactions like having diarrhea or shaking or panting when afraid or anxious, doesn't like to be picked up a certain way or doesn't like their feet/ears/tail/etc touched, doesn't like loud noises or fireworks or thunderstorms or vacuums, gets car sick, can jump or climb a fence, etc. I know how to preform Animal CPR, and I am currently looking into Animal Certifications like Dog Training, Vet Tech, First Aid/CPR, Fear-Free, etc... As I want to continue working with Animals for the rest of my life.
A typical day
We can go for walks with weather permitting, we can play fetch, and/or play with a favorite toy! Or we can relax together, if that's what your dog likes to do instead. I typically spend around 1 hour with your pet(s) during my Drop-in Visits and/or Walking Visits!
