House Sitting • Jan 03, 2026

Great experience from beginning to end with Dana. He stayed at my place for the entire time frame, which isn't always comfortable, but we did a meet and greet and both got comfortable beforehand. Highly communicative throughout the process, and just a general pleasure to work with. Seemed like he really took an interest and making sure that he followed the process, and that the dogs were taken care of as expected. Would happily use him again and I'm sure my dogs would love it too.

I think my dog likes Dana even more than me! Dana is a kind, patient, and incredibly loving caretaker who we have trusted for the last 13 years to take care of our favorite family member.

Dana is an animal lover, through and through! When I first met Dana, he had the pleasure of being a pet-parent to two sweet cats and one lovable, large dog. He is currently the proud owner of a beautiful 8-year-old kitty named Chloe. Chloe has been the loving 'community cat' through many family milestones, offering lots of love through the good and difficult times of life--and Dana is always looking for ways to win her over as she prefers females...except for Dana :) Dana is also a great companion and dog walker to his friend's senior dog, Oscar. Aside from his actual parents, Dana is one of Oscar's favorite friends. Dana is trustworthy, kind, and funny--and he would be a great pet companion to your furry friend!

Dana is a fantastic and loving pet caregiver. I watched him raise two wonderful cats Flo and Boy. He lives with another cat now, Chloe, who seems to LOVE him. He also raised a purebred St. Bernard to be a wonderful adult dog who was gentle and loving, and beautiful. Could not speak highly enough about Dana as a pet caregiver.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently semi-retired and looking for positive ways that I can get out, meet people, and make a little money on the side. I will make sure we are aligned on expectations before we enter into a booking.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I would feed, walk, and play with your pet according to what you expect and/or typically do for him/her during the day. I will be in contact with you before and after my time with your pet. Transparency and communication is key for me to be successful here, as I will be entrusted with the safety of your companion.

Pets

A typical day

We will walk around different neighborhoods and parks. We will play ball and throw some sticks. We may go to the dog park if dad/mom say its ok. Also, if we are allowed to play some tug, we will do that as well. I like to try to maintain the schedule that he/she typically experiences with mom/dad.

I would like to discuss activities and behaviors (e.g. "jumping" - not good for many dogs) that are to be disallowed or discouraged. Also, any and all of the favorite things/activities that your pet is used to. For larger or more aggressive dogs, I would just ask to please be formally introduced before we proceed. Would like to ensure he/she believes I am a good match to be a friend.
