Dana was amazing!! We’ve used a ton of different Rovers and she was by far one of the best. My dog and cat looked so comfortable in every picture- my cat who is a little shy was laying on his back and cuddling with her. She kept me updated the whole way with pictures and was super punctual. 100% recommend!

Dana is kind, loving and fun in general... and maybe even more so with animals.! She took care of our older mixed breed dog; slept next to him at night, cuddled with him, took him on multiple short walks daily, and kept him to his special food diet. She kept us appraised the whole time we were away by sending us great photo's, so we felt completely at ease and comfortable the whole time :) We would not hesitate to recommend Dana to anyone, who needs a dog or cat walker or house sitter!!

Any pet owner would be lucky to have Dana care for their animal. Dana is a warm, compassionate person who easily makes loving connections with pets (and people!). She is attuned to an animal's needs and will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for. I have had the pleasure of leaving my 6 year old cat, Java, under Dana's care. Dana provided updates and pictures with Java while I was away and communicated effectively about expectations and needs. I cannot recommend Dana enough!

I am an experienced doggie daycare employee. I've worked with hundreds of dogs of all temperaments, sometimes managing 30 dogs at a time by myself. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I treat you and your pet’s home with utmost respect and care and do whatever I can to give your pet their normal routine as much as possible.

Information Dana G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs I can accommodate, how they tend to feel being near other dogs, humans, babies. I’d love to know about specific anxieties and/or specific joys, too.

A typical day

I am available full time to tend to your pets and their specific needs and happy to receive your instructions! I am familiar with many dog parks around Somerville and am happy to take your dog for play time if that is part of their routine. I love long walks as well! Happy to provide lots of at-home love and play for all types of furry friends.
