Highlights
Pet care experience
Fully human Fully Dog
What kind of world would this be without animals? Less bright! I can’t help but love on every animal I see, owner permission of course! I’ve had a lot of contact with people in their homes & on several occasions comments were “ wow, my dog doesn’t like anyone but loves you”. Animals read Energy. I have my own 4 lb dog whom I have gladly made many sacrifices for. He is aging with CHF, so between between being vigilant of this & times of any danger because of his small size watching for respiratory changes rates counting, checking heart rates gums tongue and eyelid color and administering medication daily, I have the ability to care for health challenged animals. House sitting. * I don’t accept overnight bookings with active indoor cameras, but outdoor cameras are absolutely fine. * A born lover of the interior an impeccable service giver. I love to add value, be an excellent steward of the homes we are blessed to live & work hard to create love and care for. Hyper aware- as a former night mgr at a DV shelter, psychiatric tech, government contractor, I know when something is off, how to watch for safety, the importance of confidentially, how to proactively anticipate care and safety needs. An eye for detail and observations. I thrive on making things beautiful. Born hospitality giver and natural at event planning, I understand and value beauty and the aesthetic. I’m meticulous. Thorough, careful, and able to anticipate problems using projection priactivity and asking questions staying curious and doing regular checks.I have handled Home issues like water lines breaking, I repaired one myself, put in 575 ft of sod at a rental property and left that place looking light years better than found. See photos. When a squirrel chewed a hole near the Top of the garage, I climbed up there drew a template cut wood to size painted and climbed back up nailing the hole up. But made sure that no squirrels were inside by climbing through the rafters and making loud noises to ensure no animal was trapped. I was a caregiver for elderly and tasked to remodel a closet into a stackable washer dryer area, sourced dry wall contractors, sourced 100 year old wood flooring to match. I’m very resourceful creative think on my feet and always aware. Another house sitting experience when the swamp cooler blew debris all over the kitchen after the owner (who was Travel nursing & back temporarily) turned it on, I cleaned the swamp cooler that hadn’t been addressed in years, replacing the filters, dealt with basement floods from the dishwasher 3 times though the same owner ran it with knowing of the malfunction and cleaned up the back yard full of 3-4 ft weeds all with out being asked. See the bottom of my photos for examples of house care. You can trust me to take excellent care of your home and your pets! ****Rover doesn’t allow us to customize our service radius for each service. I’m willing to travel further for house sitting than for drop in or walks.

Safety, trust & environment
In my clients home, I listen attentively to instructions, ask for clarification& what if scenarios. Communication is Golden rule. 30 min daily of individual petting. I check for safety issues.
Ratings and reviews
Dana was very communicative and shared photos of our dog regularly. She cleaned and took care of the house and even changed the sheets for us so we wouldn’t have to deal with it when we got home from a late trip. Great all around!
We appreciate all of the hard work and care for our pets, Finn and Boots! We really appreciate all of the detailed check-in updates, and the questions throughout the visit, and of course the pictures! We felt at ease having a new dog sitter while we were away, and definitely would have you back again. This review doesn’t capture it all - You are very much appreciated 😊
Dana goes above and beyond. Amazing to find someone who gives this much care.
I love working with Dana so much! She is such a consistent and reliable sitter. It's clear from the picture updates and rover cards that she is fully engaged during her visits with my cats, making sure that their needs are met while I am away. Thank you so much always!
Dana is the most kind, caring, and considerate person. She loves our dogs as if they were her own. We absolutely adore Dana!
Dana was so great and our sweet pup loved having her pop in. She made sure he had water, potty break etc. will definitely book again!
