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.

You are my #1 pet sitter. My dogs can have some anxiety, but O can tell by the look on their face they are happy and content. You give them a beautiful place to be, that I am so thankful for. I can't imagine having them stay in a kennel. I appreciate all you do for them, and provide pictures to me, making my time away from them, stress free.

Dana was very accommodating with our uncertainty about the length of time we would need her to watch our puppy. She and her daughter took excellent care of our super active boy. I have never left him before and wasn't sure how he would react, but he did beautifully and I couldn't be more pleased with the care they gave him. I would definitely ask her to watch him again if we need a sitter for him.

Dana took excellent care of Rusty. He came home happy and healthy. I got updates daily for my peace of mind. If we are in the area again we will definitely use Dana.

I’m so grateful for Dana and her family, they took such great care of Max! And accepted a last minute booking. Communication was stellar, lots of pics, Max had the best time. I knew he was in great hands. Highly recommend, and we’ll be back next time we’re in the area!

We consider Dana and her daughter as an extension of our family. They care for our two doodles with love and attention. So grateful to have them near us.

Schedule

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.

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.
