Experienced dog walker & pet sitter
Pet care experience
*Note at this time my availability is limited to accept new clients without a referral!! I cannot accept any more weekly dog walks at this time** I started pet sitting a few years ago then increased my client base after suddenly losing a preschool teaching job. I receive client referrals from Two Aunties Pet Sitting and have watched and walked an increasing number of pets over the 2019 year. I have regular clients who I have been sitting for or walking for for years. I love doing my work and am passionate about animal wellbeing. The dogs I take care of love my compassionate and nurturing personality. I am not usually able to provide dog boarding at this point in time but I hope to in the future! I do house cleaning and dog training at additional cost when client is interested. I have a service dog who I prefer to accompany me on petsitting jobs. He is extremely well trained and gets along with all pets.
Reviews
Dana is one of the kindest, loving, and selfless people I know. (Especially when it comes to animals!) She has cared for my pets for the last 5 years through dog walks, mid day check ins, and long term vacations. She has even taken care of our cat when he was a teeny tiny kitten. Dana is very attentive and detail oriented. She has administered medicine and kept our pets for an extended length of time. Our animals (fish, cats, and dogs) absolutely adore her and always enjoy their vacations with her! Our dog even recognizes when her car as she comes down our driveway! ❤️
Dana has been watching our cats for a couple years now and we plan to keep using her as a sitter as long as she's available! Whenever she's watching our cats, she'll text us a picture or video every day to let us know that she's been to the house and that the cats are getting lots of love. It's clear in the pictures that the cats adore cuddling with her. Dana is a trustworthy sitter who will treat your pets with love and respect, I definitely recommend her!
Dana is phenomenal. Probably the best dog sitter to ever walk on earth. Seriously. I would say she is a dog whisperer, even watched our baby kitten once and took the utmost care for them both. Dana really cares and knows a lot about dogs. Not just how to care but understands their various personalities and how to properly care for them.
Peace of mind! That is what Dana has provided over the years as she has cared for our kitties as they have grown. Dana really cares about our animals and she treats them with such kindness and thoughtfulness. As first time cat-parents, Dana has shared toys, tips and trick to keep them happy and healthy. She sends us videos of little games that she will make up with the cats and they look like they are having such fun. She is reliable, trustworthy, caring and communicative. I couldn't ask for anything more. OH! and she was able to make two adorable cat dishes for us as a professional potter. I highly recommend Dana.

I take the up most care of a clients home and really respect the trust it requires. I always leave the home as clean or cleaner than when I arrived.
Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how reactive the dog is to other dogs and other animals that may be encountered on walks and in the yard. I need to know about the dogs health issues or needs. As well as if the dog has any specific behavioral issues and what those triggers are. Is the dog possessive about food or territorial about toys and beds ?
A typical day
I love taking hikes in the woods when it’s allowed by owners ! If the dogs like to swim there are specific spots I take them to

Availability
Pet care is my full time employment. I make sure dogs are not left for any long periods. However, I am currently entering back into graduate school so my schedule will be changing and because of this I am not taking on new clients without referral
