Safety, trust & environment

We have a large yard that has proved safe to date but with new dogs I will go out with them or watch from the window to make sure they are safe. Feeding times are separate from all other animals. So each dog gets their own space and time to eat. If ever left alone the floors are cleaned of any toys and doors are closed to other rooms. Crated dogs will be put in a crate.

Snuggle Time is my favorite time

Pet care experience

* dogs are allowed on couches and free reign of the house * When I am not home animals will be left inside * I will work with all preferences you have and special needs of your animal ex. special feeding times, special sleeping quarters, special outdoor time * Small dogs can sleep on a bed if they want or our couches (medium to large dogs depending on their energy level) * a large grass yard if they love to be out and sniff all day * If dog needs exercise we love to play with dogs or take them on runs if needed Really, we are here to love your pup like you do! We (husband and I) have 2 small dogs of our own and we spoil them beyond belief! They love company and so do we! We are flexible on pricing as well just send me a message. We have a two under 4yo so I am home almost all the time, and they love animals too! * no same day bookings. (2 day notice minimim)

We are so grateful to Dana and her family for taking such great care of Milo. They treated him like part of their own family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Milo was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. We truly appreciate the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely trust them again!

Dana is a fantastic sitter for my two dogs. I feel like I am leaving them with family knowing they are in a safe and loving home and that they will be well taken care of.
