Availability

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!

Information Dana G. would like to know about your pet

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.

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!

Pet care experience

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!

Ms. Dana is the sweetest “Doggy Hotel” hostess!! She was very thorough about what we can expect during Deebo’s stay and asked questions to know Deebo better. I enjoyed receiving multiple daily updates about Deebo while he was there over a long weekend. Ms. Dana is kind and showed a ton of affection toward our dog, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She even had no issues giving him his medicine to calm his nerves. I will rebook with Ms. Dana again and again.
