Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Dana. I live with my amazing dog Oliver, a Cocker Spaniel. We'd love to have your pup stay over! I only work outside of the house part-time, so I have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to your pup. I have many years of experience caring for other dogs in their homes and mine (including working as a Rover sitter full-time for about five years). This neighborhood is great for dogs! It's pretty calm and quiet, and there is a park nearby. Your pup can choose to hang out and sleep on the furniture, the floor, or wherever else he/she wants. Oliver is good about sharing his space and his toys. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Why I love dog sitting: I have always loved dogs! Growing up, my brothers and I begged my parents for a dog. They got us gerbils, turtles, and fish - all the wannabe-dogs in the world - until finally giving in and getting Maggie, a Springer Spaniel. Since then, I have cared for many, many dogs. They have been on all kinds of diets and medications - that stuff is no problem for me. I couldn't get a dog of my own until I got out of grad school; as soon as I could, I found Oliver. My experience administering medication: I am a neuroscientist by training; I do not balk at a couple of pills and needles. I have cared for dogs with health problems before and know how important it is that they take their medication on time every day. I also know to watch for the symptoms of various diseases.

Dana took amazing care of my senior dog, she made sure to update me regularly while I was away; I was confident that she was in capable hands when I couldn't be there.

Very satisfied with the care my dog gets here. Easy to book and very easy pick up. Will certainly come back for more.

I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. All dogs in my care get lots of love, belly rubs, and treats! Please note that dogs in my care may be left alone for up to six hours at a time while I am working, so this is not the best option for dogs with separation anxiety.
