Pet care experience

Animal lover at heart :)

I love all animals. I'm the type of person to spend more time with pets at a party than actual people. I'll have an hour long conversation just meowing at a cat, or telling a dog they're a good boy. I grew up around cats, and while I haven't owned dogs myself (yet), I have always enjoyed taking care of my family and friends' dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm able to spend lots of time with your babies during the daytime, in addition to evenings and weekends. I am attentive to the needs of the animals and people around me. I want everyone to feel safe, comfortable, and respected, and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen! Animals require consistency, attentive care, and genuine love that I'm ready to provide.

Safety, trust & environment

Dana is great, Beau took to her right away. She has a calm demeanor, which is great for Beau, because he can be a bit anxious when leaving me to walk with someone he doesn’t know. He was so excited the next day when Dana came back! I’d definitely recommend Dana. She has the “animal whisperer” vibe!

Dana did a fantastic job petsitting my senior dog. My dog looked like she had so much fun with her! She gave great updates, and is easy to communicate with. I’d ask her to petsit again!

Dana was fantastic and took great care of our kitties. Great communication made us feel comfortable while away from home.

Our dog Lola doesn't always want to do her full walk time especially if it’s raining, Dana will play with her in the house to make sure she gets her exercise and we really appreciate how much she cares for Lola.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I'm also interested in getting to know their quirks. What are their favorite treats, favorite toys, favorite games to play? Do they love snuggles, or prefer their own space? What makes them anxious or afraid, so that I can look out for those triggers?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
