Pet care experience

Local mom just helping out. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently I have a dog cat and fish of my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my family. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. As a mom of three human kiddos, patience, empathy, flexibility, and strong, situational awareness, are second nature to me. Safety is always my top priority - whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ve also worked in healthcare for 17 years. This background has given me strong attention to detail, reliability, and medical awareness. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of distress, administrating medication, and staying calm in unexpected situations. If you book with me you can expect clear communication and quick responses, photo updates, drop in/walk summaries, reliable care, punctuality, and a safe/loving environment. Whether your pet needs energetic walks, gentle senior care, extra patience or reassurance, I’m here to help. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and I take the responsibility very seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :) PROMOTION ALERT! $20 off first booking with me! https://www.rover.com/sit/danab84517

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my pets like one of my own children. My hope is to be someone you can always rely on and call with your pets needs - check in on them, feed them, play with them, or let them out for a potty break.

This was our second time using Dana. We liked her so much for our 2 kitties that we referred her to my mother for her kitty. She's very sweet and accommodating. She even does small chores around the house to make our fur babies more comfortable. Although the kitten hides from everybody, she and our adult cat became best buds and he waits for her at the back door. Thank you Dana!

If your pet has any special needs or routines the more details I know the better. I would like to know ahead of time if the pet has unique temperament so I will know how to approach them/care for them. I would appreciate being able to meet you and your pet beforehand to make sure we’re a good fit.
