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!

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…

Dana watched my lab puppy in our home overnight and was wonderful! She checked in multiple times throughout the day and night and sent me photos. I know my pup was in great hands with her. We will definitely book with Dana again!!

Dana has watched my dogs multiple times in the past few years. I have never been concerned or worried leaving my furry loved ones in her care. I know they are in a safe place with someone that truly cares about animals. Every time I pick them up I felt like they were treated as if they were her dogs. Her having a background in animal care was a big plus knowing they were safe and with somebody who has experience. BJ

I would love to know the specifics of your fur baby! No detail is too small! I want them to be as comfortable as possible! That given, I will probably ask lots of questions!
