Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. I am very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which helps me ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and responsibility that I would expect for my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human

Pet care experience

I have been rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for animals from a very young age. Animals have always been a deep passion of mine, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. Over the years I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, pocket pets, and even wildlife. My personal experience ranges from dogs and cats to rats, mice, rabbits, iguanas, frogs, fish, and other unique companions. While each species has different needs, they all rely on our ability to be attentive and responsive to their nonverbal ways of communicating. Because of this lifelong experience, I have developed a strong ability to read animal behavior and respond to their needs with patience and care. I naturally connect with animals and take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience providing oral medications, caring for senior pets, and reinforcing basic training and good behavioral habits while pets are in my care. Whether a pet needs a slower pace, extra patience, or consistent structure, I am attentive to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets will be cared for with the same attentiveness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m always happy to send photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Dana has watched our dogs several times. She’s an amazing pet sitter. Our dogs just love her because she’s so fun for them and takes great care of them. I would highly recommend using Dana for your pet care needs.

I’ve known Dana for about 15 years. Throughout the entirety of our friendship, she has taken great care of her own pets and fostered others in times of need. Dana has a true passion and love for animals, and there is no one else better qualified to care for yours. She treats both pets and people with respect, and her patience is truly admirable. Her attitude is always compassionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic when it comes to caring for animals. Dana is a reliable person and very trustworthy, there is no one else I trust more than her.

I have personally known Dana for over twenty years. Within those years, found Dana responsible, reliable, respectful and trust worthy. By entrusting your pet’s care with Dana, she will be their champion as she embraces them with gentle care, companionship and compasssion. In other words, your pet will be treated like her very own including hugs and kisses! Carol W

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.
