Your Dog's Devotee

Pet care experience

My family has always had an affinity for rescue dogs. Over the years we have adopted many mixed breeds. In addition to dog walking, I’ve worked on farms with goats, cows, rabbits, and chickens. I believe in the life-enhancing potential of pet therapy because I have experienced it countless times! I’m glad to provide excellent care for your furry friend while adhering to desired pet-training regiments &/or attending to medical needs . My active, responsible, and compassionate personality lends itself well to befriending new animals. Enjoy some respite from dog duty while your four legged companion has a heyday with me! Thanks for your inquiry and I look forward to hanging with your doggie 🐾 ~dd Typically available a couple of long weekends per month (F-M) with occasional extended availability (Th/Tue) Will uphold all reasonable safety precautions regarding pet/home care and act in the best interest of your dog’s well being. If any uncertainties or issues arise, I won’t hesitate to contact you (or an emergency contact) for clarification/support. Your buddies' safety and contentment are my priority. 🐾😌

Dana was an amazing dog sitter. She sent lots of pictures and had great communication. She stayed at our house and left it in great shape. We would highly recommend Dana to take care of your pets and house!

Dana was excellent! She took great care of Roux and I arrived back to a spotless home and a happy pup. She was very friendly and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
