I work from home and that is part-time so I am always with your baby. I also don't have set hours in my part-time job so I can stop for belly rubs and playtime at any point in the day.

Information Dana K. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies or special care instructions. If they need to be kenneled because you are kennel training I have a couple of different sizes and I also have a dog playpen.

A typical day

I love the outdoors! We have our morning potty break with coffee. I have 2 different-sized size ball launchers, a bubble blower that produces dog bacon flavor bubbles, and in the summer I have a doggie pool. Tons and tons of new toys so everyone gets to pick out a new toy to take home.

Pet care experience

Hello, I am the daughter of a real life dog whisperer and like everyone in my family, I love dogs (all animals to be honest). I have decided to open my home to other dogs. Whether it’s difficult medical needs, I have trained with a vet for dog CPR, shots and even IVs are no problem. My dog Bailey is very sociable and loves to play with others. In addition, I am very adept at training should you want me to help with that (basic commands and tricks) while they are in my home. My home is set up so any dog can easily find water to stay hydrated. A large and completely fenced back yard will provide plenty of safe fun and exercise. Your baby is never left unattended outside. For a fun and loving environment, book a stay with me

Mrs. Dana was truly a blessing when we needed someone to watch our puppy, Winnie, for a quick day trip away. Since it was our first time leaving her with a sitter, we were a little nervous, but Mrs. Dana immediately made us feel comfortable. She sent us sweet pictures and updates throughout the day, which meant so much and helped us enjoy our time away knowing Winnie was happy and cared for. You can tell that Mrs. Dana has such a genuine love for animals and treats them like her own. She is incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful. We are so grateful we found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their dog/pup. We truly cannot thank her enough💕💕

Our 15-yr old Yorkie had a great stay with Dana. Because Max has some health issues, and needs some assistance with feeding, I rarely leave him with anyone. Dana provided the care and assistance he needed, and sent messages and pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my getaway without any concerns and Max came home without any signs of stress. I will definitely book Max with Dana again!

Dana watched my six year-old miniature schnauzer who I’m very particular about who I leave with. She kept me updated with text messages and pictures throughout my dog’s whole stay. I can tell that she is a true pet lover. I felt very comfortable with leaving her there and I’m definitely gonna use her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
