🐱🐶 Every Pet Gets VIP Treatment

Hi, I’m Dana! 🐾 Pet sitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. As a lifelong animal lover, I love spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. At one point, I lived in a household with three dogs and a cat, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines. Because I work remotely from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a companion nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I’m also an avid runner, so if you have a high-energy dog who enjoys jogging, I’d be thrilled to bring them along for a run! I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and pet boarding, and I’m happy to help with household tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in mail, or checking on your home. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐱🐶❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful and will cater to each of your fur babies needs! I understand some animals want lots of affection while others like to do their own thing.

We could not have been happier with Dana’s drop ins! We went on a trip and it was going to be the longest we had been away in a while so we were a little anxious about leaving our two cats . Dana sent pictures and an update every time she stopped by which was great. Our cats loved her and will definitely be in contact when we go out of town again . She also went above and beyond to bring in any packages we had received & offered to water our plants ! 10/10 she was great

Dana was excellent. Abby was well cared for, Dana read her cues resulting in Abby accepting and trusting Dana within the first few visits. We couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided. ? ???

This is the first time we have used a drop in pet sitter for our 13 year old cat and were very pleased with our sitter, Dana. We were initially impressed with her attention to the details regarding Kitty’s care and her sensitivity to any concerns we had. And she did not let us down. She contacted us each visit as soon as she arrived and described in great detail what she did and Kitty’s behavior, and sent pictures. When part of our instructions were unclear, she immediately contacted us to clarify rather than possibly proceed in error. Conscientious, thorough, considerate - we highly recommend Dana.

Dana is great! She’s very reliable and great with communication. Our dog seems really happy in the report cards she sends. We will definitely use her again!

Exceptional care given to my cats & exceptional communication during each visit. Dana always provides a written summary of each visit with photos. We were in contact every day I was away from home. I am very impressed with Dana & Rover. I will be recommending Rover to my friends!

Schedule

I work remotely from home, which allows me to be flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs breakfast, a midday visit, evening cuddles, or a customized care schedule, I’m happy to work around your needs whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐱💕

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dana can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know a few things about your pet before our visit: • How they interact with other animals and people • Their feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions • Their potty routine and any special bathroom habits • Their favorite toys, activities, and treats • Any history of accidents in the house and where cleaning supplies are located, just in case • Their preferred leash, harness, or walking equipment • Their energy level and exercise needs • Any medications, health concerns, or special instructions • Any fears, anxieties, or behaviors you’d like me to be aware of The more I know about your pet’s routine and personality, the better I can make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾💕
