Pet care experience

Let's PAWty!!

I've owned both cats and dogs of my own for about 15 years that I love beyond words. While in college I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and worked as a foster through SPCA for 4 years. In both instances I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Because of my work in an animal hospital, I am also very familiar with and comfortable with administering a wide range of medications. Please feel free to contact me about any questions you might have!

Dana was incredibly welcoming and kind. She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures. It was great being able to enjoy being away knowing our dog was in good hands

We highly recommend Dana! This was a great first experience using Rover. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we didn't have any worries. Their fenced yard was great for our pup to run around in!

Dana and Jared were so patient and amazing with our babies. This was the first time we have ever left them with anyone and Dana was so proactive in keeping me reassured. She was sending us photo updates throughout the day. They received so much love from them and I know they’re going to be super happy to see her again next month.

Finn spent 12 amazing days on his own "vacation" while we were away. They kept him busy, took him for walks/runs, played frisbee, played in the fenced in back yard with him. The communication was fantastic, we received daily text messages and pictures of Finn having the time of his life while we were away. My kids, my wife and I felt very comfortable and confident in the care and attention he was receiving while we were away. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter and will absolutely plan to have Finn stay with them again in the future!

Dana and Jared were amazing with Theo. Dana sent the best and cutest pics of Theo multiple times a day with updates on what he was up to. Pick up and drop off was super smooth.

Dana was amazing ! She send updates multiple times a day, with a ton of pictures. Our flight was delayed and our doggies had to stay till late in the night, and she was very understanding. Will definitely be using her services again.

Schedule

I'm currently working full time but still have a fairly flexible schedule. After work I enjoy keeping the day going by working out and staying active, so a nice afternoon and evening walk or check-in would fit in perfectly with my schedule. My fiancé and I do live together and have always been animal lovers. In short, your fur baby gets twice the attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a huge animal lover with a big heart and treat all fur babies as if they were my own. Your pet's day with me would consist of plenty of outside time in our large yard, walks around the neighborhood (if wanted), and naturally all the snuggles in the world. I want you and your pet to be equally as comfortable while I am caring for them, so I readily provide updates and pictures of them during their time here. We are also conveniently located about 10 minutes from MCO if you’re headed in or out of town!

A typical day

First I would ask you about any extra special activities your fur baby enjoys! For a typical visit, your dog can expect many different activities such as fetch, rope tug, replenished enrichment toys if you have them, and lots of love!
