I’m currently working part-time with a lot of days off or short shifts, and my schedule for next week comes every Wednesday, so I’ll have a lot of time to come in and take care of a client’s pets for an hour or a few hours, as long as I’m given at least 2 days in advance so I can work around my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

My cats are kept indoors and are fed twice a day (once in the morning, and once in early evening). They spend most of their day lying around, but will occasionally get playful with catnip and balls.

Information Dana P. would like to know about your pet

Rusty is very skittish around strangers and will often hide when they come into the home. Margo doesn’t like being picked up or pet on her belly.

A typical day

I like to take the dogs out for a walk to get some exercise or sit with them on the couch while petting them. I also like sitting and petting the cats.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I used to walk my dogs, pick up after them, feed them, and give them their medicine. I also feed my cats, brushed their fur, and clean their litter boxes every day. I also did volunteer work at animal shelters, mostly with cats and rabbits. I also took livestock practicum courses in college that involved feeding, grooming, restraining, and administering injections to sheep, goats, and cattle as well as cleaning their pens.

Dana was very helpful and attentive. Sent me pictures and let me know how the cats were doing as well. It was a stress free experience. 10/10 would recommend.

I cannot express enough how amazing Dana was with my dog Pongo! To start, I reached out very last minute in need of her help and she responded super quickly and professionally. She asked about the care he needed and even asked for an emergency contact in case something happened since I was at work. Then she of course arrives in time (which is always appreciated) only to find my lock wasn’t working properly so she could get in. Where others would likely have tried calling once before giving up and leaving, she was persistent and waited until she could get in contact with me so she could get into the house to take care of Pongo. Last but not least was her care for Pongo. She went above and beyond showing up, walking him, and leaving. She took excellent care of him playing, walking, and refreshing is water. All while keeping me updated along the way. Dana was absolutely amazing and I will be using her again in the future!

Dana has always been a natural with all animals. She has taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember and they sense her love for them. She is dependable and would be an excellent caregiver for your dog or cat. I would highly recommend her.
