Compassion and Cuddles

I am a devoted pet owner who has experience exercising, feeding and administering medications to my own animals as well as visiting animals. I believe it is important to take each animals individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. That is why my family and friends always ask me to take care of their furry friend. In addition, my fun and compassionate personality will ensure your animal and I are best friends.

Dana is lovely, attentive, reliable, and exceptionally experienced and skilled in caring for animals. I trust her with our kitty Marshmallow without any hesitation! Dana will go above and beyond for you and your furry family members, and is a wonderful, loving, thoughtful person.

Dana was great with my puppy and very accommodating with my time of drop. Thank you Dana spending time with Brownie. I will definitely use your services again :)

Dana was amazing, going above and beyond to take care of our baby every single day! Marshmallow also loved her and said hello, cuddled, and played with her. Dana has looked after Mallow's health while we're gone and is so knowledgeable and experienced, she was able to give us valuable advice to improve Marshmallow's health - and she takes the cutest photos. I would recommend Dana to anyone in need of an attentive, loving, experienced, kind, and wise pet sitter!

We continue to book with Dana and her daughter for short and long trips. They are caring and we trust them fully with our two pups.

I work full-time from home, which allows me to easily adjust to your pet’s schedule. I’m also off on weekends, so I’m available to give them plenty of attention and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe it’s important to learn your pet’s routine and keep their daily life as consistent as possible. Since I work from home, I’m able to adjust easily to your pet’s needs and schedule. I also have a large yard for them to enjoy, and my garage is fenced in so they can safely spend time outside even when I’m there. For added security, the main door area is enclosed to ensure no furry guest can slip out.

Pets

A typical day

A bored dog is a miserable dog, so playtime is part of our daily routine. Along with plenty of time running around in the backyard, we go for walks every morning and evening. Lake Ontario is just a short drive away, making it a favorite spot for a little getaway. We also love visiting the local dog parks—there are two nearby where dogs can run freely, play fetch, and socialize with both new and familiar friends.

I always like to know a dog’s routine and schedule. That way I can prepare your dog’s vacation around things they are used to. I do my best to make my home feel like their home.
