Quality over Quantity

Pet care experience

Caring for your dog is not just a job... it's an absolute joy! Having my my own fur babies in the past, as well as pet sitting and walking other people's dogs, I know very well what a successful and happy day in the life of our canines entails. Not only will you get the responsibility involved in care, but your dog(s) will get a lot of love and much needed attention too. My ability to provide an outstanding level of quality is also reflected in the number of dogs that I will consider for the different type of requests. If I’m pet sitting for your babies I always make sure there is fresh water and food, treats, sufficient exercise and perhaps some cuddling, massages and scratching too ;) Unfortunately, my own dog passed away in May 2018. Instead of getting another, I've decided I wanted to join the Rover and meet as many new canine friends as possible. I have spent more of my time traveling to different countries and states and pet sitting since 2019. But now with the shutdown, I feel my help could be more useful at a local level.

Thank goodness for Dana! She was available for my Cooper last minute and took excellent care of him, she even took him to the dog park to play with his pack pals. Its hard to find sitters who love dogs as much as Dana, who is also dependable and reliable, please come back from vacation, we need you!

Dana was great with our two greyhounds. She was super communicative and sent us lots of pictures. We knew the dogs would be in great hands based on the questions Dana asked and the intuitive dialogue we had about the dogs. She is a natural with dogs, and although we hate being away from our pets—Dana makes this experience 100% better.

Dana was so kind with our pup Doki. He's a rescue, new to our family and this was his first dog daycare experience. She texted and sent pics. Very generous with communication. Even met up with us beforehand. Feel happy to have found her. Would recommend to anyone.

Dana took great care of Rambo. He absolutely loved his stay! I also got pictures and updates of my dog which made me feel comfortable. He went on plenty of walks and trips to the dog park.

Information Dana M. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are fine, but I don't have the training to take on the responsibility of having an aggressive dog.

A typical day

My back yard is big for just hanging out when the weather is nice. I own a leash that is screwed it to the ground. Otherwise, we can play ball or take the trail through the park. If your pup likes to socialize, maybe we could go to a dog park. I’m also up for hikes through wooded trails if that sounds like fun!
