Safety, trust & environment

I have experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments. My typical process for a visit is to establish trust with your pet by playing with them for a bit. I then make sure their leash/ harness are secure and take them out for a walk. After returning from outside, I make sure they’re fed and have access to clean water, give them treats if they’re allowed, and secure them in their space (crate, room, etc.)

Information Dana C. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences but just let me know how your dog is with other people and other dogs so that I can prepare for our day together :)

A typical day

Whether your dog has a lot of energy or is a couch potato (as my doggy is, haha!), I'm up for the job! I love being outside, but I also value a good cuddle and play session indoors.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Dana and I have over 10 years of experience working with cats and dogs. I had a cat for 15 years until she passed the rainbow bridge. I also have a 12 year old Miniature Pinscher so I understand the special relationship you have with your furry family member. I also used to work at a local boarding kennel with dogs of all sizes and needs. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits.

Dana is the perfect cat sitter. She takes care of all the details and is absolutely dependable. My cat loves her. I always feel completely comfortable going away and knowing that Dana will be keeping my cat happy.

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.
