Love caring for all fur babies!

Pet care experience

As of May 2023, I will only be booking Monday - Friday & only within the Lakewood area. Some exceptions will made for existing clients & pets with medical needs! Grateful to all of my previous and current clients that continue to keep me busy! I have been been pet sitting for friends and family for the last 8-10 years. I have always grown up with cats in my home since I was a child. I have had my pitbull for almost 7 years and absolutely love having a pup. I volunteered walking dogs at City Dogs Cleveland (mostly pitties) last summer. I also have five cats right now along with 1 foster cat. I'm well versed in giving cats medication of all kinds (allergy meds, insulin, IV fluids, etc.). My wife and I had a diabetic cat until he passed in 2022. I am working part-time with babysitting so I am fairly flexible! I will only be able to watch fur babies in their own homes as my house is not equipped for guest pets. Our cats would not be pleased :)

Dana is amazing and did such a great job with our puppy who’s got a fractured leg.

Dana is THE best❤️ I have a diabetic cat and felt confident in her abilities to administer care. She even befriended my sassy cat! Loads of pictures and detailed reports every day. We definitely found our person in Dana! Thank you so much!

Dana is hands down the best cat sitter we have ever had! She went above and beyond to keep us updated and even cleaned off the silverware she used to put out cat food. Cannot recommend enough!!

Safety, trust & environment

I am working part-time with babysitting so I am fairly flexible! I will only be able to watch fur babies in their own homes as my house is not equipped for guest pets. I use a safety sash and connect all of my pups to it when going outside on a leash. It helps to keep them safe and give everyone piece of mind! I am always very careful to keep pups close on walks and will only walk dogs if that is agreed on - I am happy to let them out into a fenced yard. I am always on watch for cats that are runners and keep a close eye when going in and out of doors! I take every precaution that I do with my own animals and more!

Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about any special needs, medications, your expectations, and any behaviors that would help navigate your fur babies better! It'll be important to know if pups are high energy, bathroom cues, etc.

A typical day

For pups I will definitely get them in some good walks in! I'm happy to give more than one walk, play fetch, tug, or cuddle up! Whatever they want to do, I'm happy to go along with it. For cats, my cats love being brushed, chasing laser, stick toys, etc. so I can entertain them as much as they want - or leave them alone if they prefer haha.
