LOVE DOGS! Worked @ vet for 5 yrs!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Dana and I relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado in October 2017. Although I am new to Rover, I have more than 5 years of experience in a veterinary hospital, working around other veterinary professionals providing exceptional pet care and client education. I also have experience administering medications. I have extensive knowledge about: *Veterinary medications and possible side effects *Serious health conditions and warning signs *Flea and parasite prevention and treatments *Prescription diets and food/skin allergies *Separation anxiety & other behavioral conditions I love spending time in the outdoors, particularly walking or hiking! I adopted my amazing mixed breed dog Mojo 5 years ago and I can't imagine my life without him! Before working at the veterinary hospital, I was an Assistant Manager at Nordstrom and before that I was a preschool teacher! I am very responsible and experienced with dogs and currently am home full-time. I treat dogs as they should be treated-like family. I would LOVE to spend time with and take the BEST care of your dog!

We could not be happier with Dana and her care of our two dogs! Her energy and love of animals truly shines and your dogs will know it! She provided them with daily exercise , handled the meds for our senior citizen dogs with ease and made sure we had daily photos of them so we wouldn't worry while traveling. If you want someone who will treat your dogs like they were her own pet kids - pick DANA! We will certainly be using her again in the future!!

I had a really wonderful experience with Dana. My four pups can be quite the hand ful but Dana handled all of the challenges like a pro. My dogs were always so happy in all of the photos Dana sent so I could relax and enjoy my time away .

Dana is a lifesaver! I contacted her on Wednesday. On Thursday, she came to meet my dogs. On Friday morning, she walked them for the first time and by Friday afternoon, I was contacting her to see if she could go back that evening, and she could! It was so wonderful to know my pups were getting loved and cared for while I was at the hospital with my daughter! When I met Dana the first time, it was obvious how much she loves dogs. She brought treats to meet them and knew how to connect with one of my dogs, who is particularly shy. She was ridiculously patient with that same dog the next day, when that dog didn't want to come to Dana for a walk. Then she was super flexible when I contacted her to see if she could come back that evening. I am so excited that I found Dana on Rover! I'll be booking with her again soon, i hope!

Large fenced yard, work from home most days. Many years of experience around dogs. Comfortable with all ages and sizes, as long as they are comfortable with my 11-year-old doggo.

Information Dana L. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds! I have experience with dogs who have "leash-aggression", general dog-aggression and separation anxiety. I know some dogs just don't care for certain breeds or sizes of dogs, etc. All I ask is to have this information relayed to me so I can keep your dog safe and happy.

A typical day

I love the outdoors! I enjoy walking around neighborhoods and really like finding new parks to walk around in and going on fun hikes! I would be happy to play fetch and other games too! I know how important it is for dogs to get time to 'smell the flowers' and enjoy their walks. I love the weather and the scenery here and I enjoy the walks just as much as they do!
