HappyPETS!

As a fellow pet parent, I understand the difficulty in entrusting your beloved pets to someone else, especially after experiencing the pain of neglect by a trusted sitter. I am committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment for your pets, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve, just as I do for my own. My pets benefit from multiple daily walks and playtime, and with my background as a certified dog trainer and veterinary technician, as well as experience in pet grooming, you can rest assured your pets are in capable hands. Please note, I do not use retractable leashes, and if you don't have a regular leash, I am happy to provide one. In the spring and summer I can offer swimming/pool time as well have a large pool. As long as pet can swim and listen to basic commands. If oet has a favorite toy please bring with them. A blanket that you have slept with like a small throw blanket is alway nice to have as it holds your scent and can help comfort your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I walk at your pets pace. No cellphone use during visits other than to take photos! I make sure I spend a little time with pets before and after walks making sure they have water.

Ms. Dana was excellent and my Baby had a wonderful stay. I got updates, pictures, and I will be booking again soon. Great to not worry about my little man.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 29, 2025

Dana was kind enough to meet and greet and on last notice give Red a go. She's very knowledgeable with animals. Dana was prompt with communication as well as taking care of Red. I'll definitely use Dana's services in the future.

I can't speak highly enough about Dana! Her knowledge of dogs and training skills made my dogs' stay not only fun, but also productive and educational. I got regular updates complete with adorable photos, and left with tons of valuable knowledge to continue training my pups. Thanks so much Dana; Walter, Willow, and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Simply amazing. My dog didn't want to get in the car to leave. Extremely flexible and kind. We will use their services 2-3 days a week for awhile. Perfect experience!

Schedule

I'm currently available and home all day. I have a elementary school age child in the home and a baby. I plan my weeks in advance so that I can be available at all times. If I do leave home it is for short times.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dana can host up to 2 walks per day
Any areas they cannot walk, are they startled by traffic noise? Can they walk on a leash? Do they pull? Are they friendly on leash? Are people allowed to pet or do you prefer I ask them nicely not to touch? Potty trained? Any commands that they know? Can they swim? Allergies? Kid friendly?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
