Dana can care for
Availability
Pet care will be my full-time focus for the next 3–4 months before I head to college, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in great hands. I also have previous pet-sitting experience with repeat families who trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, and I can provide references upon request.

Information Dana M. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, I’d love to know: Their breed, age, and personality Feeding schedule and bathroom routine Exercise and walking needs Any medications or medical concerns Likes, dislikes, fears, or triggers Favorite toys, treats, and activities Anything that helps them feel most comfortable and happy My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away!
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is always focused on keeping them happy, active, comfortable, and cared for based on their individual needs and personality. I love making sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day. Activities can include: Walks on quiet nature paths or neighborhood walks depending on what your dog is most comfortable with Hiking adventures for high-energy dogs Trips to dog parks for social dogs who enjoy interaction and play Swimming and lake outings (if your dog enjoys water) Fetch, tug-of-war, and other interactive games Basic training exercises and reinforcement of good habits Plenty of cuddles, attention, and relaxation time For drop-in visits and sitting, I make sure pets stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication if needed, playtime, and lots of love and companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Dana! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I’ve cared for paralyzed dogs, senior cats, and pets that require medication and extra patience, so I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are when it comes to your furry family members. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a quick drop-in visit while you’re away, or overnight companionship and care, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time.

Reviews
Dana was incredible and did a wonderful job with Thor and Loki. Great communicator, great with sending me pictures, relayed anything about the dogs that she felt I would need to know. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone!! She is awesome and I will definitely be reaching out to her again.
Dana was communicative, efficient and flexible. My kitty was on two meds that she had to administer and she feels so much better already! Highly recommend.
Dana did an amazing job on short notice. Was on time, communicated well and treated our dog with attention. She took pride in the house (as a hose sitter). I highly recommend her!
Dana has always been great whenever she watches our dog and cats. Super friendly, lets the dog out often, and they all love up on her anytime she comes over to help. Highly recommend.
