Pet care experience

Hi - I’m Dana, and I want to meet your dog! I started dogsitting while I was dogless and working along the west coast. I wanted a way to get some quality time with dogs because I missed them so much! That was back in 2016, and since then I’ve adopted a dog of my own and built my Rover business to become a top-rated sitter. I’m grateful for the continued trust my clients place in me! ***SERVICE UPDATE - I’m only able to accept house sitting clients who are comfortable with me bringing my dog Ranger with me. He is friendly with both dogs and cats. Ranger is crate trained and is never out of his crate unsupervised. He is a graduate of Cleveland’s BossK9 training program and is very well-mannered. *** HOUSE SITTING - My dog and I will spend the night at your house and care for your pup in the comfort of their home. I provide dogs in my care with not only affection, but also structure, routine, and clear boundaries; I do not spoil or encourage bad behavior. If you are working on any obedience issues with your dog, please let me know so I can reinforce that training and encourage good behaviors! While housesitting, I am a guest in your home, and I will treat it with respect. I do my best to make sure you come back to a clean house and a happy dog. Please show me the same courtesy by leaving a clean space in which I can comfortably care for your pet! You can be sure I will leave it as I found it. If it sounds like Ranger and I will be a good fit for your dog, please send me a message to schedule a free meet and greet!

absolutely amazing experience with Dana. She communicated consistently, took great care of our 3 fur babies, and took care of our home! She went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend her and are so grateful for her and Rover’s expertise!!

Dana is always amazing, and my dogs favorite sitter (and my dog is exceptionally picky). She does a wonderful job, sends pictures, leaves the house clean, and is always loving to my dog. Her pup is also super well trained. I can’t recommend her enough.

PRICING - Rover charges by the night, and does not take into account any services provided on the last day of your trip. Therefore, beginning Sept, 2021, if I’m needed after 12pm on the last day of your scheduled stay, there will be a $20 add on charge so that I am compensated for my time and work. Thank you for understanding!

Information Dana B. would like to know about your pet

To ensure that I am the best fit for you and your dog, I ask that you first read (or just skim!) my profile. The more specific you can be about your dog's needs when sending me a request, the quicker I can determine whether we will be a match!

A typical day

When I stay with your dog, I make sure we get quality time together to play, walk, and adventure (if your dog is into that!). Walks are free for housesitting clients, and will just be part of our routine! When I’m not outside, I’m usually studying or just relaxing on the couch - if you’re dog likes to cuddle, we will get along just fine.

SCHEDULE - I am back to work full-time at my day job, which is Mon-Fri. If your dog has gotten a little too used to you working from home and is not OK to spend a typical workday by themselves, then I will not be a good fit at this time. When I’m not working, I do my best to spend the majority of my time with the dogs I’m watching.
