Loving Care for Your Dog

Hello! I'm a long time dog sitter who took a few years hiatus while starting a family. I have a high energy but aging Vizsla (Cooper), a new to the family rescue shiba inu (Winston), two young children (4, 1) and a husband who works from home most days. I love all animals but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I would love to treat your pet like family while you are away! Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs, ever since I was a little girl. Some of my earliest memories are me snuggling and playing with my first dog, a beautiful black lab named Winchester. I had years with a beloved boxer named Ebony that mark most of my childhood and the best Christmas I ever had was when my parents surprised me with Lionel, our family goldendoodle, as a puppy. I have grown up with dogs and can't imagine a life without a furry friend in it. My experience administering medication I'm a nurse practitioner so I regularly deal with medications and would be willing to help your pet as long as I am given proper instructions on how to give the medication safely!

Dana is amazing. This was our first leaving our dog and cat at a pet sitters home. The experience was perfect. Dana was so great with both animals. I felt informed as she checked in each. I will definitely use Dana again!

I'd give Dana more than 5 stars if I could! This was the first time that we left our dog with "strangers," but both Dana and her husband were kind, understanding, and took excellent care of our dog. She sent us daily pictures, was very responsive to all of my messages, was flexible with scheduling and totally put our minds at ease. Our dog had a blast and we'll definitely be using Dana again!

Ruby had a wonderful time with Dana and her dog Cooper. Dana was extremely accommodating and even let us get in a day sooner on a minute's notice! Ruby will definitely be back.

I was so nervous to use Rober and to leave my dog with a stranger. But he hated going to the dog kennel and so I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did! Dana was AMAZING, she sent me pictures the whole time Titus was with her, which really helped ease my nervous! He had a great time and Dana took the best care of my pup! I will definitely be using her again!!

Dana was great! This was the first time I was leaving my dog with someone other than a family member while I traveled and I had major guilt and anxiety about it, but as soon as I met her, I knew Abby was going to be well-taken care of. Abby was treated just like one of her own pets and Dana sent me pics and updates while I was away! My mind was totally at ease all weekend. I will definitely use Dana again in the future!

Schedule

I work full time but have some flexibility with my hours. My husband works from home most days so your pup would generally have one of us home to play with them and care for them while you are away. We have young children so we are rarely out long or late!

I would like to know any quirks and preferences (for example, I sit for a dog that will only go to the bathroom if he is taken out the back door rather than the front door), the personality of your dog (shy, excitable, etc.) and anything that will be relevant to providing the best possible care for your pet!
