I work remotely from home and can care and love on your pets all day. You can call them my furry co-workers! We take frequent potty breaks and walks, impromptu play breaks, sun bathe on the deck or patio and I jealously watch as they nap. We live 2 blocks off of the Occoquan Reservoir and can go have a splash or for a walk on the trail!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard for your pet to hang outside, or for quick potty breaks (ideal for senior dogs and puppy training). I can also keep them crated, if that is what you prefer. Also, I can keep your pet completely seperated from our dog Max, if needed. We have enough space and the flexibility to spread out. Your pet can have the whole first floor, or stick close to us around the house, whatever works best!

I'm flexible and well experienced so just let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks or challenges that I can accont for.

We can play ball in the backyard, go have a splash in the lake, jog the trail and whatever else your dog loves to do for fun! I've been known to pull out the doggy swimming pool and make homemade doggy treats as well!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and cared for dogs for the majority of my life (at least 30 years), from being a small in-home dog breeder, a trained dog groomer, to dog sitting and training. I frequently pet sit for friends , and on Rover, as it is second nature for me!

I use Dana often, and she’s always amazing! She takes great care of my baby Smttzy, sending regular updates and pictures. It's clear she truly cares about animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!"

Dana and her son have done a great job in watching Grizzy since I started taking him over there for daycare services. He really loves being over there and never wants to leave. She is a true professional and willing to work to accommodate your puppies needs. Thanks again Dana!
