Pet care experience

I Will Treat Your Pet Like My Own

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 enjoy the change of scenery and the serenity of 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

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.

Dana took very good care of our 16 yo dog while we were away. She kept house clean and neat, watered my plants and brought in paper. Prompt communication while we were away. Thank you Dana, life went on as usual for Ms Lola🥰

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Dana can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
