Leaving Rover

Pet care experience

After much consideration I have decided to leave Rover. To my frequent clients I am sorry, but my time is needed elsewhere in my life. I thank you all for letting me care for your animals. This profile will get deleted by 2024

We were in MI for several weeks so wanted to bring the dog. But we were also visiting Isle Royale Nat’l Park which forbids dogs. Dana cared for our dog while we were in the park. She is 10 minutes from the sea plane or the Ranger and about an hour from the other ferry in Copper Harbor. She was super easy to work with and drop off and pick up was flexible and flawless. The dog had the run of her home and was not in an institutional kennel. She sent us photos during his stay. He seemed very happy and well adjusted upon pickup and enjoyed playing with Dana’s kitten. We highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet is treated just like my own. They are allowed on furniture, they can sleep on bed with me, whatever makes them the most comfortable. I do have an extra large kennel can I use as a safe space for those nervous ones. No one is forced to be in there unless it's a safety issue. I live just a block away from a really nice nature trail for walks. I have a dog lead in my backyard (fencing is a goal) that dogs can chill and explore on, I'm always there to supervise that time. I DO NOT like to use retractable leashes. I've had them explode on me and a dog run away, I have scars on my legs from burns from the leash itself. I will use it if it is necessary. I have a selection of leashes that I prefer to use and will probably use instead.

Information Dana P. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog good with other dogs? Cats? Kids? Men? Women? Any aggression I should be aware of? Do they have any medical needs? Giving me a detailed note is amazing and I do try to follow directions as best I can but sometimes concessions are made to make everyones lives easier.

A typical day

This depends on the dog and their energy level. A senior who barely can make it around the yard is going to get lots of loaf time on the couch. A rambunctious high energy dog is going to get outside exercise either walks or playtime on the lead. I will wrap up their food in a towel and have them unwrap the towel as enrichment. I have lucky mats and plenty of different types of toys from fetch to chewing.
