Pet care experience

Let me your baby's loving Aunt!

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

Dana is just wonderful. I have zero worries anytime our Bear is left with her. We receive several updates and pictures daily and I know for a fact he’s being loved there!

Chlo’e got an abundance of attention she was herself. She can be a diva sometimes. Happy for her. She has a safe place when we are in Charlotte. Dana took her last minute for boarding care, for me to be with my new grandbabies. Forever thankful for that. Most sitters want notice before booking understandable, these trips last few weeks was not scheduled trips. Grandbabies were ready to make their grand debu. Thank you Dana.

Dana was so great with my senior dog! She has a lot of experience with seniors and Lucy settled right in for her 5 day stay. Her care involves medication which was no problem for Dana. She also texted daily with updates and pictures. She has a large fenced in yard and Lucy loved exploring it in depth! Dana truly loves dogs and it shows!

Doggy Day Care • May 08, 2026

Oive's first time daycare with Dana and we both give two thumbs up! Dana and her sweet Bailey were a pleasure to meet, and I knew right away that I was leaving my girl in good caring hands. Pictures and updates and more pictures and updates were very much appreciated. Thank you Dana, Olive is looking forward to her next visit!

Schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

My Roomba runs all of the time to keep anything off of the floor. I only use dog approved cleaning products in my home. Your dog is secure before I open my front door to get packages etc. I do not take any chances with them being able to run out the front door.

Pets

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.

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.
