Energetic as a puppy!

Pet care experience

I am experienced with pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care. As an owner of our family dogs, I have experience caring for dogs from 8 weeks old through their entire life cycle. In addition, I am energetic, athletic, and active and really enjoy physical activities with dogs, whether its playing, going for walks, or other ways to engage your dogs both physically and mentally, going above and beyond to ensure their happiness. I can also do basic training, such as crate training, obedience, or tricks to keep the dogs' minds alert and active. In general, I love the time I spend with your dogs and find they generally love me too! I am available mornings, later afternoons, and evenings to care for your dogs.

Dana was great! Responded quickly, made coordinating easy, and was sweet with our dog. Will definitely use her again in the future.

Dana is amazing! Our 9 month old pup, Chaco, loves going for walks with Dana. We are working with Chaco on not jumping when greeting people and Dana was clam and gentle yet firm with Chaco when she started to jump. Dana was also super responsive to messages and always took great photos for us!! Chaco even excitedly left play time with our nieces to go with Dana and we have never seen Chaco do that before. Normally Chaco will not leave their sides even for meals!!! But Chaco was so excited to see Dana and go with her! We are so grateful for Dana’s work!

Dana did a great job walking Arlo and getting his energy out! She was very communicative and reliable.

We have used Dana to care for two of our dogs. Both from when they were puppies of 8 weeks old through their lives. She has been great with the dogs and treats them as her own -- because she works in playtime and mental activities for the dogs they love it when she is with them. Besides that she is incredibly responsible, always on time, follows through on anything that is needed, and takes the initiative if she sees issues with the dogs. She will also handle taking the dogs to the vet for checkups or emergencies and provides great documentation on what happened or what is needed. We also use her for overnights so we don't have to kennel our dogs when we go on vacation. Overall, she's the best we've ever had!
