Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not bring pets into my home. I've found that most animals, especially anxious or high-need animals, tend to thrive best in their own homes. I can maintain their regular routines while surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells they are familiar with. I do free consultations to meet all clients and pets in order to get acquainted with their personalities and routines.

If there were 10 stars ( 10 being the highest) , would get a 10. She was on time, provided updates, did the necessities and played with the pups. - and the place was clean. Would definitely book her again!

Dana is amazing! She has taken care of our french bulldog since he was a puppy - staying at our apartment while we are away. She is incredibly caring, attentive, knowledgeable about the breed and trustworthy. Great communication and always on time! It's difficult to leave our dog but knowing he's with Dana and well cared for makes it so much easier.

I have a very high needs house pig, who is not nice to strangers. He loves to bite ankles when no one is looking, will wait for you to leave the room and then truffle through your purse, he wakes up at the crack of dawn, and his favorite past time is breaking into the pantry. He is not an easy pet. Despite numerous family and friends, I only have 2 people I trust to take care of him. Dana is one of those people. She took the time to win him over and learn his manurisms, stelth tactics, and his various different kind of oinks. Dana is trust worthy, responsible, honest, and worth every penny. I love going away knowing my baby is well taken care of, even when he probably doesn't deserve it.

Dana is amazing ! We are able to travel without worrying about our cat and dog knowing she cares for them like they are her own . She is very responsible and professional . Always confirms the time and date , communicates daily with pictures and messages and is a true animal lover which is the most important thing . She stays at our home and keeps everything perfectly running while we are away . We have used Dans’s services for 5+ years , sometimes for a day and as long as a week .I cannot say enough good things about her and if my pets could speak I am sure they would say how much they love her !

Dana is an amazing fit for anyone looking to care after their beloved pets! She is a natural with animals, and treats every dog like they are her own. While having a super caring touch, she understands that each dog has individual needs and she is very in tune to making sure that each one is met. Dana is an amazing dog walker and sitter who deeply cares about the lives and health of the animals she cares for!

Dana has watched my cats many times over the past several years and has always done an excellent job! Most recently, she watched my elderly cat for 8 days while I was on vacation, and was very reliable and professional in her care. My cat requires a special diet and medication and Dana was able to handle his needs without any problems. I was especially reassured because Dana provided daily photos and videos of Duke, my cat, which eased my anxiety about leaving him. Dana really goes the extra mile in terms of providing pets with extra attention and care; she is responsible, trustworthy, and reliable. I feel very comfortable leaving "my baby" in her care.

Schedule

My pet sitting experience dates back to my college years, but I've acquired a more consistent clientele list over the past 5-6 years. I can accommodate specialty dietary needs and administer medications. It is important to prioritize enrichment, such as walks and playtime, to keep your pet happy. I have a vehicle equipped for safe travel, in the event that a vet appointment is scheduled.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Dana can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Every animal has their own special personality, which can require some quirky or particular methods of care. I am careful to understand and approach each situation with an opportunity to learn and build a trusting relationship with the pet and the owner. Your peace of mind is essential!
