Ruffin' Around in Brooklyn

Pet care experience

I am a full-time Graduate student pursing a Masters in Nonprofit Management with a focus on food policy & farm animal welfare. I am home during most days and would love to fill my time walking and caring for local dogs. I grew up in a home full of animals and currently have a beautiful rescue dog named Lexie, as well as two rescue cats. My dog Lexie LOVES other dogs and I am always happy to bring her along, if your dog is in need of a playmate or walk companion. I have interned at NYC Animal Care Centers where I provided care for dogs of all kinds and I have volunteered at a host of animal rescue organizations over the years. I truly respect and adore animals of all species, but dogs have a special place in my heart. Additionally, I can administer medications and have some experience with special needs dogs, including seniors. My dog Lexie battles anxiety (loud NYC streets can be tough), and she has taught me the patience needed to encourage all types of dogs to be brave little New Yorkers!

Dana was fantastic with Samira! Dana was easy to communicate with and sent updates from the visit, plus it was clear that Samira had a great time.

Dana is great! She has a super sweet doggy who gets along really nicely with our dog, which makes us really happy. She is wonderful with our dog (who really likes her) and makes us feel completely confident when we leave our pet in her hands. She is super communicative about walks, feedings, and any other tasks we have discussed for our dog. She sends pictures and is super quick to respond to any and all requests. A wonderful professional who clearly really loves dogs!

A typical day

I live in the Lefferts Garden neighborhood of Brooklyn. Right along the East side of Prospect Park. I can take your dog on a walk or for some playtime in the park. If you prefer, I am also happy to take a stroll around the neighborhood. My dog Lexie is always overjoyed at the prospect of a playmate, as she thrives around other dogs. If you wanted your dog to have some doggy playtime, I am happy to bring her along.
