About Dana S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because I specialize in older dogs, I know how important their routine and comfort are. I maintain all the requests you require for your pup's care. For instance, I have no objections to pups that like to sleep in the bed, especially if it makes them happy.
Information Dana S. would like to know about your pet
How old they are. What treats they love/hate. What an average walk is like. How many poops the pup needs. Any fears. How they do with other dogs (sizes, gender, breeds).
A typical day
I will try to locate park or grass space for the pup to walk through whenever possible. I love playing throwing games with dogs (tennis balls, kongs). And for the dogs that need it, tugging games are also an option. I can also try some training reinforcement, based on your current methods, if desired.

Pet care experience
Though I did not grow up with dogs, I have either had my own dog or a roommate's dog in my house for about 17 years. This includes high energy Jack Russell Terriers, smart Tibetan Terriers, happy-go-lucky Boston Terriers and clumsy, yet adorably loyal Neapolitan Mastiffs. I have had to walk/sit/play/groom each of them, sometimes together and sometimes for extended periods. I am a grants writer and work from home, so I can easily be available most of the time to help you with your puppy needs. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs as well. I can provide as much time for long walks and playtime as is needed.
Reviews
Dana took wonderful care of our dog and home! We look forward to our next trip!
We always look forward to when Dana stays over! The babies (2 dogs, 1 cat) get all the TLC, play time, snuggles, snacks and relaxation time and we come back to a spotless house and very happy fur babies. Dana is our go-to in-house pet sitter for over a year and we're looking forward to his next visit in a few weeks!
Dana is a wonderful and dedicated dog walker.
Dana was so great with Sherlock! He easily handled all of his medication needs. He sent the funniest updates and Sherlock loved all of the cuddles. Its not easy to find someone who can match Sherlock's regular schedule of having someone home during the day so I was very happy we found Dana. We will definitely use him again!
