Pet care experience

Ready to love animals of all kind!

I have been taking care of pets my entire life, and love having the opportunity to meet new animals! I recently said goodbye to my best friend and first cat I had on my own, Kitty, and she taught me everything I needed to know about pet parenting and senior care. Since then, I’ve adopted two kittens, Nelly and Ollie. I also participate in Providence Animal Shelters ‘rover’ program, where you get to take a dog out for a walk/to hang out with for a few hours, as often as I can. Growing up I had a job as an assistant and took care of their dog during the day every summer. This included feedings, walks, medications, playtime, grooming and cleaning up after them. I have frequently house-sat for people in the past (pre-rover) with both cats and dogs and understand the importance of helping them stay in their routine. There’s no job too big or too small, I’m simply grateful to be able to help!

Safety, trust & environment

I can take care of multiple pets at once if needed. I’m also up for an activities like play time and walks! Or if your pet is a couch potato, we can do that too 😂. I understand how important it is to help your animal feel comfortable and maintain their routine while you aren’t there.

Dana made herself available at the last minute so we could finish an electrical project at our home. I appreciate her flexibility and professionalism !

Dana was great. It felt like we left Scout with family. She was super responsive and flexible, too.

Dana was so great with our three big pups! We have never felt so comfortable on vacation because Dana sent updates and photos, so we knew all went well. We will definitely book Dana again! Thanks

Dana was excellent with my dog! She was prompt, had good communication, has a somewhat flexible schedule and followed the routine I asked. I highly recommend Dana and will be having her care for Buck again.

Let me know if your pet has any special rules they just follow, any certain commands you have for them, special quirks, if there are certain things they like/don’t like, or any certain things you do/don’t like for them! Also, I am highly allergic to peanut butter, which I know is a favorite amongst dogs, if you use peanut butter as a treat please offer a substitute for my time with your dog or warn me ahead of time so I can take proper precaution, thanks!
