Puppy Love while you are away!
Pet care experience
They can't always go with you, so feel secure that while you are away, your puppy is well cared for. My name is Dana, I am a 32 year old professional. I currently have no dogs or children in my home. I work from home, and your pups will be given overloads of attention, play, rest, and special care for the entire time of their stay! Whether you are going on a trip for a few days, have long days at the office, or are just taking the family to the waterpark - I offer overnight, daycare, or just drop in services! I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and even special needs and administrating medication. I have owned dogs all my life, and absolutely love them! Additionally, I used to volunteer for a DAWS (Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I have had experience with loads of various sizes / breeds of dogs. I have additionally become somewhat of an expert on 'stuffed animal surgery'. I have sewn together more monkeys, lamb chops, and squirrels than i can count, in order for my furry friends to continue to play with their favorite toys!! I have been dog sitting for the last several years and have several long term Clients, and love meeting new furry friends! About my home: I live in a large apartment off the tollway and George Bush. My complex is extremely pet friendly, with tons of gardens, and safe, clean, grassy areas to walk around. I have a HUGE balcony (walls are cement not wire, so little ones can't get out). There is a 25 acre dog park right next to my complex! Is your dog social? Love to just run around? Your dog will have tons of fun, make new friends, and get plenty of exercise! My experience with special needs or administering medication: I have experience with insulin shots, along with administering medication orally during feedings. I have used both the liquid and pill pockets. Please mention upfront so I may decide if I am comfortable delivering medication depending on your pups specific situation.
Reviews
I have used multiple Rover hosts and this is by far the most DISAPPOINTED I have been. I do NOT recommend boarding with Dana. She was very unprofessional- did not provide a secure environment for our dog, barely sent pictures, and lacked communication.
Our black lab Grace recently spent the weekend with Dana and her husband while we went out of town. Dana was an amazing host to grace and when we picked her up she was a very happy puppy. My wife and I were extremely happy with the care that Dana and her husband showed Grace and would not hesitate to call upon them in the future. Dana and Jason are very nice people, you can tell from the minute you meet them that they are true animal lovers who will treat your dog like their own. Thank you Dana for the wonderful experience
Absolutely wonderful. Dana took amazing care of my Thor. From the pictures I got he seemed like he was on vacation. Will definitely use Dana again as well as suggest her to anyone that is looking for a sitter.
Dana has a natural love for animals and Buddy (my son) whom I'm very protecting over loved her. My discerning nature brings with it particulars that were easily absorbed and implemented into Buddy's daily routine by Dana. She works from home which was another benefit for me since Buddy is usually with me all day long and rarely left along longer than a couple of hours. I only use one sitter for Buddy and need a long term relationship, therefore, my interview process is not easy. I usually look to Buddy for his feedback about the person. As soon as I leave buddy I miss him but feeling comfortable that he's really well taken care of is most important. He's not simply a dog, he's my companion and I need to feel 100% secure leaving him with someone. Dana fills that role
