Dana did a great job caring for our elderly cat, making sure she got her meds. She also did a fantastic job with our ducks and chickens, who didn't make things easy for her. Thanks again Dana!

Dana has cared for our pets many times over the years. With her veterinary background, she is confident in administering a multitude of medications, and gives all her love and attention to make sure my pets are happy and well cared for. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a responsible, knowledgeable, and affordable pet sitter for their next vacation.

Dana has been an excellent, trustworthy caregiver for our dog. She always gives us peace of mind whenever we entrust her with our dog that he will be well taken care of and loved up while we’re gone. He loves her a lot too! She is great with communication and providing updates. I would recommend her 100% with no hesitation!
