Pet care experience

Your pets favorite auntie

I have been a dog mom and biologist for over ten years. I can stick to a schedule and you can trust me to stay on protocol. With my lab experience, I’m very attuned to animal behavior and I’m extremely committed to providing enrichment. I have taken lots of dog training courses and I love teaching puppies and older dogs alike fun new tricks to take home. I recently lost my senior dog with special needs so I am also comfortable with dogs that require more specialized care and have special diets or medications.

Boarding • Jul 05, 2026

Another wonderful stay with Dana and Zack. Our dog was clearly happy to see them upon arrival, and we appreciated the great photo updates and thoughtful attention they provided while we were away. We are grateful for the peace of mind when we have to leave our dog behind.

When our cat was recovering from surgery, Dana kept a close eye on her. We felt so reassured to know that she was there in case anything went wrong!

Schedule

I work from home about 50% of the week and have a very flexible schedule. My husband also works from home during the day so someone will always be near for your loved one. I love spending time at our neighborhoods community garden, in my back yard, and on the nearby glover archbold trail.

Safety, trust & environment

In my clients homes, I’ll send activities planned for your pet before our time together based on your needs and preferences. I also send updates and lots of photos so you’ll know exactly what your loved one is up to. I have an unfenced yard but do have a long leash/chain. Inside my home, there are baby gates to keep dogs safe in common areas and I have an X-Large crate which is optional for use during overnights and pre-approved nap times for puppies.

A typical day

I believe every pet is unique and that’s why I like to lay out my personalized plan for every pet parent before their stay. I personally have a couch potato that loves quiet cuddle time and puzzles. But I also love my energetic pups and can schedule longer and more interesting walks. For cats, play time and interaction can depend on their level of sociability but I strive to bring peace and comfort at each visit.

I don’t require meet & greets but happy to schedule one. If the dog has a history of being reactive, I can be patient with shy more reserved dogs but I’d like to meet you and your dog to ensure I can provide a safe environment for them.
