Love all animals! Especially dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I grew up with a dear family dog named Bailey, and a chinchilla named Maisy. I was always surrounded by their love and affection and they were a huge part of the family. I have been pet sitting for close friends for a couple of years, and recently even fostered a dog for a month. (I got way too attached!). I helped the agency find the perfect home for him and I still occasionally dog sit, as his new mom saw the bond we formed. I lived with a roommate who had a cat, and occasionally would take care of him for her, give him his meals, meds, and all the cuddles. I love and work with kids, as well as working as an actress. Being an actress has helped me greatly with being able to improvise, think fast, be focused and empathetic to anyone and anything! My schedule is very flexible and open. I am looking forward to meeting your pets and spending time with those cuties who always warm my heart. Thank you! :)
Reviews
Dana has been watching my 3-year-old beagle since he was a puppy. He absolutely loves when she shows up to take him on walks, and I've always felt complete confidence in Dana caring for him when I have to travel for work. My beagle also suffers from numerous allergies and Dana is very responsible and careful of what he puts in his mouth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to watch your pets!
Dana is one of the most caring people I know. She has a big heart and has lots of love to share. She is very responsible, reliable and trustworthy. She loves animals and has had experience taking care of her pets as well as other people's.
I love my dog, and I would only trust Dana with him. Dana is very reliable, responsible, smart and charming, but what I appreciate most about her is her love for animals. You won't regret entrusting your pet to her.
Dana is very responsible and reliable! She loves animals and children, and has babysat for us and also taken care of our dog, walking him as well as caring for him and feeding him when we are not home. Dana is charming, intelligent and extremely trustworthy. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Safety, trust & environment
I just moved into a lovely studio apartment in Bedstuy right be Herbert Von King park. So if you ever need me to bring your dog over to mine, we have a park we can take numerous walks to. I love playing with dogs, cuddling with them. I have a lot of energy to run around with toys and throw a ball. I am organized and clean and don't mind the occasional potty mishap. I don't believe in punishment but positive reinforcement and rewards. If I were to sit at your home I will keep the place clean just as you left it, and will give your pet the constant attention and love it deserves.
Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, what he's like with other dogs/humans, and what I can expect when he first meets a new human who's caring for him.
A typical day
I love exploring new parks and green areas, especially with a dog by my side. I love letting them play with other dogs and engaging them myself by throwing a toy, or running around. I always follow their lead, let them sniff around and engage their curiosity, while always staying safe and alert.

Availability
I am working part time as a freelancer and actor, so my schedule changes often. I am looking for a flexible part time schedule. I am available mostly during the week and some weekends. I am available on short notice, and will never cancel within less than a week if I've made the commitment, I will be there :)
