Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to work with you to ensure your needs are met and you have peace of mind while away. I walk my dog twice a day. Depending on your specific needs, I can walk your dog separately, take them to a dog park to socialize, or simple cuddle them on the couch. I know how important it is for people to know their dogs are safe and loved and I want to provide that for you.

Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks. My own dog is very friendly with other dogs but I am familiar with leash aggression, anxiety and other behavioral issues so these are important things to know in advance to help guide us on our walks or outings.

A typical day

Whether it's a game of catch in the backyard, throwing a frisbee at the dog park, or simply smelling all the smells in the neighborhood, I know how important it is for your dog to get their zoomies out! I will work with you on your specific dogs preferences to help guide our adventures!

Pawsitively love dogs!

Pet care experience

As a lover of all 4-legged creatures and waggy tails, including my beloved dog Cheddar, I am excited to offer loving and attentive pet sitting services for your fur babies. My home is a warm, pet-friendly haven complete with a securely fenced yard where dogs can play and explore freely. Here, dogs are treated like family and are allowed on furniture and beds. I work from home and maintain a flexible schedule, ensuring your pet is never left alone and can enjoy multiple walks a day - and more importantly, giving you peace of mind. While my pie in the sky dream is to rescue every dog and live on a farm, for now I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away. Available for dog walking and potty breaks as well!

Dana is a heartfelt dog lover, and was very detailed in her care of my dog. She’s easy to work with and has great communication before and during the dog-stay.

it is no surprise that Dana gets many five star reviews. She’s the nicest sweetest gal who went above and beyond to meet us to pick up our Nellie and watch her for a few hours while we had an event to attend. of course, I would highly recommend Dana to anyone who needs pet sitting.
