Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle & Caring Pet/House Sitter
I have been taking care of pets for a little over four years now. I provide daily updates and photos, maintain a clean home, and keep your pets on their routine. Ultimately, my goal is to keep your fur babies as comfortable as possible while you’re gone, as I know kenneling can be very anxiety-inducing.
Cat care experience
Dana also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

My main priority is to keep your pets company and make sure they are fully cared for and comfortable while you are away. Walks, cuddles, whatever they need!
Ratings and reviews
Dana was great with my cat, Remy. She was very responsive via message and flexible when arranging a time to do a meet and greet. Remy can be shy but I was so happy to see that he was out and about with Dana. This really put me at ease while I was gone!
We had an awful experience with this sitter. She left our 2 dogs in their kennels over 16 hours two days in a row. She strategically left messages and sent photos as if she was actually house sitting. I reached out after we reviewed the cameras and she blatantly lied stating she was actually at the house because her car was being worked on and was dropped off. What she didn’t realize was we have cameras at ALL entry points to our home. When brought to her attention she admitted she was not at the house more than 5 of 48 hours. She stated she had “personal issues “ and that is why she was not there. I pointed out she could have informed us she was unavailable and we could have made other arrangements. She chose to leave our dogs unattended for up to 17 hours and actively lie that she was caring for our dogs. We reported her to Rover for safety and trust concerns and asked her to leave the property immediately. We love our dogs and would never choose to expose them to such animal abuse. It will be a very ling time before we trust anyone with our beloved pets again.
Dana was great when taking care of my two dogs. She followed my care instructions and was very responsive to communication. Also, she was able to be flexible and extend the housesitting by a few days when we were delayed returning home due to a winter storm.
Very nice, did great with our animals. We will use her again!
Dana did and excellent job doing drop in visits for our two cats. We’ve booked her twice for our cats and have been happy both times. Shes punctual, sends pictures/updates, and everything was clean and well taken care of when we came home. We will definitely continue to use her to care for our cats in the future.
We are extremely happy with Dana housesitting for our home and dog! She sent pictures, communicated regularly, and was super accommodating. I would definitely recommend and hire her again.

This is my job for the school and summer months. I do online class so I am available whenever you need me to be! Frequent drop-in’s are not an issue and I am available for house sitting as well.
