Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. I follow all instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, litter/cleanup, and any special care needs are done properly. I also take time to observe each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they feel secure while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and always aim to leave things as clean and organized as I found them.

Information Dana M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs. It’s helpful to know feeding instructions, medical conditions, medication schedules, behavioral quirks, triggers, and how they typically respond to new people. I also ask about emergency contacts, vet information, and any home-specific instructions to ensure everything goes smoothly and safely.

A typical day

I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and engaged while maintaining their usual routine. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, feeding, potty breaks, and playtime such as fetch or gentle enrichment activities. I also make sure there is plenty of downtime so they don’t get overstimulated. I adjust everything based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel safe and relaxed.

Calm, Confident Care for All Dogs

Pet care experience

I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs with a strong focus on safety, structure, and positive experiences. I have professional experience working in a dog kennel and daycare facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This included supervising playgroups, maintaining safe environments, and closely monitoring behavior and wellbeing. I’m comfortable with dogs who are energetic, shy, or reactive, and I always prioritize reading body language and maintaining a calm, controlled environment. I follow feeding and walking routines closely and make sure each dog receives the attention and care they need based on their personality. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, well cared for, and treated with patience and respect.
