Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of space for running and play. Dogs have full access to the yard through the medium sized dog door. Dogs are treated as family in our home and are free to lounge on the furniture. There is also a spare room for dogs that may need their own space. My husband works from home most of the time, and our sweet 4 yr old Black Lab mix, Arrow will always be there to keep your pet company. She is 45 lbs and is used to having canine guests of all sizes and ages.

Information Dana G. would like to know about your pet

Happy to accommodate any special needs or requests you and your dog may have. Especially photo updates! I know it's helpful to have reassurance that your pal is doing ok.

A typical day

Your dog and mine will get to play together in our spacious yard. My husband and I just love to love on doggos! We will make them feel right at home with whatever level of play/relaxation/adventure suits your dog!

Pet care experience

Dogs are just the best, right!? Your dog will be treated like family in our home. My husband, Dove, is also very hands on with pets under our care. We have opposite work schedules, so there is almost always someone home. We have experience raising pups and caring for elderly dogs too. I am available for walks, runs, hikes and excursions to the dog park, as well as pet sitting in all of its forms. I am reliable and responsible and look forward to establishing a relationship with you and your dog!

Banjo always has fun with Dana and Dove! He's also worn out from playing with Arrow! We appreciate the great care that Dana gives!

Quinn was so happy and relaxed at Dana's house! We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that Quinn was in good hands and treated like one of the family.

Dana and her husband were wonderful!! They treated our pup like their own and it was obvious he was very well taken care of :) also, their dog Arrow is so sweet! Dana agreed to watch Leo on super short notice and went above and beyond!

We ended up having to cancel our trip due to a stomach bug hitting our house and in the chaos of the week I forgot to tell Dana. She was kind and understanding and though we didn’t get to actually use her services I definitely would reach out again in the future.

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.
