Pet care experience

I can't wait to care for your pets!

I have been a dog owner for 36 years, and had cats for 10 years before that. 10 years ago I had 4 dogs at one time! My day was filled with cuddles and dog walks. Unfortunately throughout the years I have lost all my sweet doggos to old age and the last one in my photos to cancer. I am not ready to commit to an adoption but LOVE having dogs around to care for. I have a fenced in yard for playing fetch or just sunbathing. Premium bedding for the doggos who stay with me. Lovely sidewalks and a nature trail in my neighborhood for long walks. And lots of love to share! I am patient and gentle with the senior dogs out there and firm with the dogs needing extra practice with their training. I will treat your doggos as if they are my own! I am available all day long for overnight stays from Wednesday to Monday. If you don't mind my being gone 6 hours I am available Tuesdays as well. If you're going on vacation let your pup vacation in the country with me! I can even pick them up in my SUV!

Dana is consistently the best sitter we’ve found in our 8ish years on Rover. She is always going above and beyond for our guy and he genuinely enjoys being there, which cannot be said for every sitter. Thank you for everything you do for our senior guy!

I can always count on Dana to watch our dog, I always feel at ease whenever I leave him with her and he had another wonderful stay! Thank you for making your home his second home :)

Schedule

I teach piano lessons in person and online at home part time. My work days at home are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I have mornings and afternoons free for exercise, playing, and cuddles. I can take your doggo on Tuesday too, but I have to leave from 230pm until 830pm. Otherwise a long weekend is the best choice from Friday to Monday, or a full week from Wednesday to Tuesday morning!

Safety, trust & environment

For overnight guests I have 2 large dog beds, stainless steel bowls, toys, and a fenced yard. I also am active so I will enjoy long walks weather permitting. If your doggo is crate trained I have plenty of room for your crate and can pick it up with your dog! For daily dog walks I am available every day during the morning and afternoon.

A typical day

I get up early so I can get a long walk in before it gets hot outside. I enjoy a lazy breakfast and more exercise. Having a dog with me makes everything better! We can play fetch outside or tug of war inside!

My neighborhood has miles of sidewalks and nature trails so we don't have to travel anywhere to have fun. There are many dogs that live here so I would want to know how far your dog likes to walk and if they get along with other pets.
