Reviews
My long-time dog sitter moved away so we used Rover to find someone to replace her. When we found Dana she not only filled that hole but exceeded our expectations. She was professional with all of the questions she asked during our meet and greet. She spent a huge majority of her time in our home actually spending time with the dogs in addition to their basic care/needs. She adhered to all of requests and directions and respected our home. Dana sent tons of pics and updates throughout the stay. One day my larger dog broke his color while they were walking and Dana quickly thought on her feet and was able to use his leash as a collar to get him safely back inside. She notified me of what happened and it gave me a great sense of calm and trust. When we returned from our trip our babies were as happy as the day we left and did not seem the least bit stressed. I highly recommend Dana as a dog sitter and will definitely request her services again in the future.
Dana did an excellent job taking care of our 15 year old cockapoo. Before we left Baxter was not eating very well. We contacted the vet and they recommended a certain type of food. Dana went to the vets office and picked up the food. He started eating which gave my wife and I piece of mind. Dana sent us a lot of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her.
Dana is an excellent sitter. My dog Gunnar is always happy to see her!
Dana really helped us when we were in a bind, and took wonderful care of our difficult, geriatric dog in less than ideal circumstances. She was responsive leading up to our trip, and provided updates multiple times a day while we were away. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Dana!
