Experienced dog lover
Pet care experience
I have had and cared for dogs for over 20 years. I adopted my own dog in 2010, trained her from her puppyhood, provided her with exercise throughout her most active period, and loved and supported her through her senior years. I recently lost my girl and want to share my love of dogs with other pets! I know how hard it can be to leave a senior pup when travel needs arise. Rest assured that I can provide them with the same care that I showed my girl. I have a flexible schedule for work and can work from home when a pet is in my care. Follow our adventures on instagram at nalas_rover_friends ! We do request that all pet pick ups and drop offs occur by 7 pm. If you’ll be picking up after that we request that you add a day to your reservation. Thanks for understanding!
Reviews
Dana was amazing with our dog Penny! Penny is usually very cautious and a bit shy, but Dana was so patient and gentle with her. She offered a meet and greet ahead of time, which made us feel really comfortable. During the stay, Dana kept us updated and was super communicative. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she watches. We’re so glad we found her on Rover and would absolutely book with her again!
Dana is amazing! She played lots of fetch with my pup (in her amazing yard), gave him lots of enrichment, and sent me lots of pictures. Would definitely use her again!
Dana is the perfect fit for our little nervous Annie. Dana respected my wishes and took extra time to make Annie comfortable. She even allowed our pup to sleep with her. I loved getting pictures and updates. We have been doing a few trial visits and now I have NO hesitation in using her for the week we go on vacation. Thank you Dana!
Dana was great! My dog settled in like he was at home right away, and she kept me updated about how things were going the whole time I was away. I look forward to having a place in the future where my buddy feels comfortable to go again!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard where dogs can romp around and chase sticks or balls. To ensure safety for all pets, I prefer to limit dog-dog interactions to those who are already known to each other. We allow pets to cuddle with us on protective blankets on the couch. We have a crate available for crate trained pets as needed.

Information Dana L. would like to know about your pet
To be able to provide your pup with the best experience, please share your pet's: Feeding schedule, Medication needs, Any reactivity issues (people, children, or pets), Exercise requirements (is your dog happy playing in the back yard or do they need to be walked?), Whether your pup has ever jumped a fence, and Food/treat restrictions (kongs, bully sticks, collagen chews, rawhide, etc). Our priority is always safety and followed by fun!
A typical day
During the work day, we can of course fit in walks and chasing sticks or balls in the back yard. Treats are available as allowed. On weekends, my husband and I are always keen to take the pups on a hike nearby!

Dana can host
Availability
During the week, I typically go to the office once or twice but I can adjust as needed to accommodate your pet. If not in the office, I work from home.
