Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.

Information Dana M. would like to know about your pet

I trust pet parents to know their pets best, so I love when they share anything important I should know like routines, favorite things, or little quirks that make their pet feel most comfortable. Whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or love extra cuddles, I just want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and feeling extra loved while their owners are away! We’ll do fun things like walks, fetch, playtime with toys, cuddle time, and lots of attention based on what they enjoy most. Whether they’re super energetic or more of a couch cuddler, I make sure they feel safe, entertained, and spoiled with love

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, as well as provide plenty of love and attention. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets daily ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well groomed. I also volunteer with the SMU feral cat community, helping feed, monitor, and care for stray cats on campus. My experience spans from puppies and kittens to senior pets, and I’m comfortable with all temperaments and sizes.

Dan is very kind caring and compassionate. If something is needed, it gets done. Easily one of the most responsible and effective people I’ve ever met.
