I’ll love ‘em like they’re my own!
Pet care experience
I am a certified veterinary technician and former professional firefighter/paramedic looking to care for your pets and/or home while you are away! I got into Veterinary medicine later in life and if only I had known the love I have for animals sooner! I have fostered over 100 dogs/puppies and have several that return regularly for boarding! We have a huge backyard with a 6ft fence where your dogs can run & play to their hearts desire! We live in a beautiful dog friendly neighborhood! I have worked in vet med for 13 years including shelter care, surgical care as well as general practice! I am comfortable with in home medical care if needed! My family and I will love on your pets as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions!

Excellent sitter! All went well with our last minute need. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
Dana watched our Irish Setter, Shannon, for three nights while we were passing through town for the weekend but staying at a friend's house where we couldn't have our dog with us. Dana took amazing care of her... she managed her medicine perfectly and got her to eat all her meals (which can sometimes be tricky!). Not only has she thought of everything for her doggy guests (a room in the basement with noise machines for dogs who are scared of fireworks & thunder, a shallow doggy pool in the backyard, pill pockets for helping dogs take their pills... just to name a few), it was also clear that she genuinely cared about Shannon and was happy to keep me updated. I felt so comfortable knowing she was with Dana and will ABSOLUTELY book her every time we are coming through town... she is worth every penny!
Dana is awesome and took great care of both or our dogs. Thank you!
I have had my 2 babies taken care by Dana for almost 8 days while we were on cruise. We were always updated with pictures and their activities during the day. We felt our babies were safe on their care and environment. Not only they took care of our babies , she and her daughter taught Nemo who’s very scared to use stairs, to go up and down the stairs without being nervous. We had a good time while away with our pets because we know they were well taken cared of. We will definitely ask their help again on our next trip. Thank you Dana and Sophie…
