Safety, trust & environment

My top priority is to make sure your pet(s) are happy and safe until their family returns. That includes making sure they have everything they need regarding food, toys and attention. I also do check-ins with the client every few days for peace of mind.

Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet

Besides a rundown of your pet's feeding/walking/medication schedule, I like to learn about their personality. Are they quiet? Energetic? Stubborn? What's their favorite toy? Anything you can tell me about your pet(s) habits and personality helps.

A typical day

Most pets have their own routine, so I as stick as close to it as possible in order to make the family's absence less stressful on them. I take things slowly for the first couple of days so they can get used to me, and I can get to know them. If they like a certain toy or game, or like to go for long walks, or prefer a certain treat, I will make sure they get it.

I Will Treat Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and taking care of them since I got my first pet (cat) at age twelve. A few years ago I did house/pet sits while backpacking around England and Wales, taking care of homes, gardens, and pets in exchange for a free place to stay (with plenty of free time to see the sights). I currently have a part-time job and am looking to make some extra money on the side, as well as enjoy the serenity of change of scenery and animal companionship. I offer both drop-in and full-time house sits. I'm reliable, punctual, and follow instructions to the letter. I am also polite and considerate houseguest, very mindful of my surroundings and always keep my living space clean and tidy. If you're looking for a reliable house sitter who genuinely cares enjoys their work, shoot me a message. I look forward to hearing from you! Dana

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dana was wonderful! She took great care of our pets while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. We came home to happy pets and everything just as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we’d be happy to book her again. Thank you, Dana!
