Pet care experience

Experienced, Loving, Home FT

Hi! I’m a work-from-home pet lover with over 18 years of experience caring for Yorkies. Our beloved pups have since passed, and while we don’t currently have pets, we have plenty of love and attention to share with yours. Our home has a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe playtime and fresh-air breaks. My teenage kids adore dogs and are always excited to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving each pup the affection they deserve. Your dog will be treated like part of our family. With someone home most of the day, plenty of outdoor space, and a household full of dog-loving humans, your pet will get individualized attention, comfort, and lots of fun. We can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home!

Dana is AMAZING! Working as a nurse for 13 hours a day 3x a week it’s so comforting to know that my sweet CoCo Chanel is being care for from someone who also is a Yorkie lover! She is so attentive and sweet! 🩷

We felt comfortable knowing our beloved pup was being well cared for by Dana and her family whilst being on another continent for two weeks! We would recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter. Highly responsive and offers a safe and clean home for your pup!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets frequent attention, outdoor breaks, and lots of interaction throughout the day. My teenage kids also love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddle time after school. With someone home most of the time and plenty of hands ready to give love and care, visiting pets easily become part of our everyday life.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pets are treated like part of the family. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular outdoor breaks in our fenced yard, and plenty of playtime and affection. We keep a calm, clean, and safe environment, and our teenage kids love helping with walks, games, and cuddles. With no pets of our own, your dog gets our full focus and lots of love during their stay

A typical day

A typical day in our home is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. We start with morning potty time and a walk or some fresh-air play in our fenced yard. Throughout the day, since I work from home, your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and routine outdoor breaks. There’s time for play—fetch, tug-of-war, or whatever your dog enjoys—as well as quiet cuddle time indoors. When my teenage kids get home, they love joining in for extra walks, backyard games, and lots of affection. Evenings are relaxed with more snuggles, calm time, and one last outdoor break before bed. Every day is structured around your pet’s needs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Before your stay, we’d love for you to bring your pup over for a meet-and-greet so you can feel comfortable leaving your dog with us! ***Please note: Owners who do not pick their dog(s) up by 1:00pm on the day of departure (for overnight stays) will be charged our daily day care rate.

It’s important for me to know anything that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. This includes their temperament, energy level, and how they behave around new people, kids, and other dogs. We have three teenage children, and their friends are often in and out of the house, so if your dog has issues with kids or a busy household environment, our home may not be the right fit. I also need to know about any special needs, medications, allergies, or health concerns, as well as their feeding schedule, routines, and any anxieties or dislikes. For everyone’s safety, I do require that all pets staying with us have up-to-date vaccinations and current heartworm prevention. The more I know upfront, the better I can make their stay feel just like home.
