TLC for small dogs ❤️🐶
Pet care experience
✨H I G H L I G H T S✨ - Fenced, grassy backyard for your pup to play in - Dogs allowed on all furniture! Snuggles on the couch / in bed are most welcome 🥰 - Working from home—24/7 care for your doggo I love dogs - I have been dogsitting and walking since I was 12, and have fostered five dogs sequentially over the past year. The dogs I have fostered range from 1.5 yrs - 9 yrs old with temperaments easygoing to extremely anxious - I’ve learned so much about how to care for them with diligence and vigilance, as well as how to reward/encourage positive behaviors. I'm conscientious and experienced with caring for elderly or rehabilitating dogs (Muttville alum). Your dog will LOVE frolicking in my fenced backyard!
Reviews
Dana and her boyfriend did an amazing job watching my toy poodle earlier this fall. It was obvious they love dogs and brought my pup on some really fun excursions. They were very communicative, kind, helpful, and sent daily photos and updates of my little one. I really trust them and would definitely hire them again in the future.
Dana was great! Willie seemed very happy after pick up and we loved her photo and video updates! Would definitely book again ?
Dana was great with Evie! Frequent updates, great communication. My puppy is very shy, but she warmed up to Dana very quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving Evie with her. Thanks again!
My puppy was happy when I picked him up and that is what matters to me : )

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a quiet, comfortable home with a sunny, grassy, and fenced backyard for doggie guests to play in. Any dog that stays with my boyfriend and me is allowed to meander throughout the house and onto any furniture so long as you allow them the same in your home - I want our little guest to feel completely at home :) I also have a crate and 2x dog beds sized to accommodate dogs up to 20 lbs (washed after each guest's stay), as well as toys, dog bowls, and doggy diapers for incontinent senior dogs - no need to lug these supplies over when dropping off your doggo (just their food/treats/favorite toys if your dog has any)!
Information Dana N. would like to know about your pet
Personality? Dominant/submissive/etc. Fears? Things/places/people they tend to avoid. Motivation(s)? Treats/play/petting/etc. House-trained? Any nervous behaviors like chewing on furniture/clothes? Pet insurance / vet contact number? Always good to be prepared for emergencies. Games? Fetch/tug-o-war/etc. Diet? Feeding schedule, particularly favorite snacks, etc. Any special needs?
A typical day
I live in a sunny, quiet Nob Hill neighborhood within quick walking distance of four dog-friendly parks. I'll take your pup on two walks daily - one 15-minute jaunt in the morning before work and one longer one to a park after work - with potty breaks, sunbathing in the backyard (perks of WFH!), and PLENTY of snuggles throughout the day :)

Availability
I'm working from home and am excited to devote vigilant TLC to your pup (young or old) while you are away so you can truly rest easy! I have a sunny, grassy, fully-enclosed backyard that dogs love to nap and play in, and am a 10-minute walk from Washington Square Park, to which people bring their dogs around 5pm daily to socialize. I would love to take your dog here or to any of the other three dog parks within a 20-minute walk for exercise and socialization! I'll follow your instructions carefully, i.e., feeding schedules, medications, etc. I also maintain frequent picture and activity/temperament updates over email or text so you can rest easy while you're away. Your precious pup is in good hands at this home away from home!
