Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets
What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and respect I give every pet and home. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for several years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and routines. I genuinely love animals and take their wellbeing seriously — I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I’m especially mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, or quiet companionship. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the patience and gentleness they require. I also take pride in being reliable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for with kindness, consistency, and genuine love while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate preferences, and any household rules — to keep things consistent and stress-free. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of secure doors and gates, and careful about food, treats, and household hazards. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. I treat every home with the utmost respect — keeping spaces clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Dana was absolutely amazing and took such wonderful care of my senior dog, Riley, over the weekend! She provided frequent updates which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn't have asked for a more attentive or professional sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!
Dana is our absolute favorite dog sitter. She is prompt, kind, loving, trusting, and extremely responsible and respectful. She is worth every penny and I often overpay because of how happy we are with her services. She provides updates, pictures, and is extremely gracious with our high maintenance dogs. One is very old and the other has behavior issues and they both take medications at different times and it can be complicated. We are always relieved when Dana can watch them because it’s hard to find someone we trust with all of their issues. I cannot recommend her enough!
I used Dana for overnight pet/ house sitting over the holidays, the entire process was seamless and positive. The communication from scheduling all the way through her stay was top tier. She took extra time beforehand to stop by and meet my dogs and learn their routines. Throughout her stay, Dana provided periodic updates and photos - which gave me peace of mind. Upon my return home, my dogs seemed very happy and well taken care of. I have no doubt that my dogs would be happy with her staying again!!
I truly can’t recommend Dana enough. She’s the absolute best and always provides plenty of updates and pictures, which is so reassuring for an anxious dog mom like myself. I had only ever left my dog with family before, but after meeting Dana last year I immediately felt comfortable trusting her ~ honestly, I now prefer leaving my pup with her over family. 😂💕My dog is 11 years old, blind, and takes multiple medications and supplements, and Dana is amazing about staying on top of his routine. He sometimes struggles getting around at night, but she is incredibly patient, attentive, and kind with him. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands.
Our 3 dogs love Dana and I think they are more excited to see her than us. She sends us updates, takes em on walkies, and is a great communicator. Shes always our first choice whenever a trip comes up.
My 3 dogs LOVE when Dana dogsits them! She is a great communicator with us, and we don't worry when Dana is with the dogs because we know they get cuddles, walks, and lots of love while we're gone.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work primarily remote with reliable WiFi, but also must visit the office for only a couple of hours a day, 3 days per week. Working remotely allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a flexible part-time job with shifts up to four hours (up to five hours total including travel time). However, my schedule is adjustable, and I’m usually able to move or release shifts when needed — especially for pets who require more frequent care. I’m mindful of how long pets are left alone and plan my schedule carefully to prioritize their comfort and routine.
