Loving Care for Your Dog

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm currently a Registered Nurse and I work as a Home Care Nurse for AHN Healthcare at Home. I travel around the North Hills area during mostly daylight/evening hours and have a relatively flexible schedule. My husband lives with me and he works 8-5. We just moved to a 4 bedroom home in Franklin Park and live with our friendly Tabby cat and high energy Vizsla, Cooper! Our yard is mostly unfenced but we do have a fenced in "play area" for our dog to run around in. Our dog has an invisible fence around the yard and our property is 1.25 acres. We also have multiple parks nearby where we can go for nice evening walks. I love all furry friends but definitely consider myself a dog person and lover! Our home is open to preferably larger dogs who are socialized. I hope I can help care for your beloved pet when you can't! 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 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!

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!
