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 was prompt, kind, and gave wonderful updates a few times a day (including pics.) Our dogs are big and we really need someone who can handle them without getting overwhelmed and he handled it with ease! Also, he did everything we asked re: caring for the dogs and walking them. Highly recommend him!
Dana is so amazing with our Max, you'd think he's known Max since he was a puppy. He's like a dog whisperer. Knows exactly how to make him comfortable while providing excellent care. Thank you!
Dana was super accommodating and professional! We needed a last minute sitter and she was able to ensure that I felt comfortable leaving my pups with her!
Our very nervous senior dog does so well with Dana. I feel far more comfortable leaving her with him. He also leave our home so tidy and clean!

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.
