Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Pet Support You Can Trust
I bring a calm, safety‑first approach to pet care thanks to my background in hands‑on operations and emergency response. I’ve worked in fast‑paced environments where attention to detail, communication, and animal safety were non‑negotiable, and that carries directly into how I care for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m especially good with pets who need a little extra patience or structure. I’m reliable, observant, and always make sure animals feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or settling in at home. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and understood.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take a calm, safety‑first approach in every home I enter. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, litter, walks, medications, and any house rules—so your pet stays comfortable and your home stays just the way you left it. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and windows, and I always double‑check that your pet is secure before I leave. I keep the environment clean and low‑stress, whether that means refreshing water, tidying up after meals, or making sure litter boxes are fully cleaned. I’m respectful of your space, careful with your belongings, and focused on giving your pet a safe, predictable experience while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Dana did a wonderful job watching our two cats while we were out of town. He was available on short notice, which we really appreciated, and even took the time to meet with us beforehand so everyone felt comfortable. While we were away, he communicated regularly and sent pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, everything was clean and well taken care of and our cats were clearly happy and comfortable. Dana was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! Thanks Dana
I had Dana take care of my wife’s and I cat for about a week when my wife and I went out of town. Dan took full care of her feeding her regularly and also looking out for signs of illness or discomfort requiring vet attention. He was very careful and attentive to detail. He helped make sure that she was fed, and engaged through play time. I have also seen him take care of other people’s animals including a friend’s dog while they were away taking him in regular walks and making sure he was fed. Dana also took active care of a pet bird growing up, so he is very familiar with animals.
Dana K. has walked my dog, Akaal (a 5 year old chocolate lab mix with Shar Pei), a few times and I’ve been really happy every time. Dana is reliable, clearly follows instructions, and pays attention to the details I share about Akaal’s walk routine and feeding. Akaal always comes back calm and happy, and it’s obvious Dana genuinely cares. I’d absolutely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker or sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I keep a consistent, structured schedule. I’m available for drop‑ins and walks during the day and early evenings, and I build my week so I can give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate last‑minute needs when they come up. My goal is to make your routine easier and keep your pet feeling safe and cared for while you’re away.
