Safety, trust & environment

For daycare/overnight boarding I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run and play, and 2 friendly 3yo sheepdogs (65lbs) to keep yours company that adapt to a new dog’s personality and are very friendly w/dogs and ppl. If your pet prefers more special alone time that’s ok too as mine can be put away in a gated area separate from yours and taken care of by family. My home is a very sanitary/clean environment but dogs are allowed on all furniture so don’t worry about them getting into anything. My boy is always getting into mischief so every room is dog proofed so they can’t ingest or destroy anything, plus they will always be supervised. If I am staying at your home or dropping in I will make sure your pets routine stays the same and they have everything they need. I will also provide pictures and text updates throughout the day to always keep you informed and make sure you feel completely confident and comfortable trusting your fur babies with me. Same goes for walks I will use the route tracking so you always know where we are!

Information Dana W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if any special needs so I can accommodate. I lost my soulmate boy last year and spent every second by his side, so I am very experienced taking care of aging/sick babies who might need extra care. I also raised a puppy while my boy needed extra care, so I am very used to having my hands full juggling my own huge sheepdogs! I am sure I can accommodate whatever specific needs your floofs have.

A typical day

I love to learn a new pet’s unique quirks and personality so they can have the best time while you’re away! We can explore all the new smells in my neighborhood or dog park, walk easy trails nearby, lounge at home, or have the zoomies in my fenced in backyard. Playtime with my 2 dogs is an option as well as we have every toy under the sun and a dog bed in each room of the house for them to roam free and play. Your floof can choose their own adventure!

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Dana and I would love to take care of your floof babies! I’m from NYC/NJ and moved here with fam 5 years ago but have been caring for pets all my life. I have had Old English Sheepdogs since I was born, my first boy would guard my crib at night, so I like to say I am a true lifelong sheepie owner. Since then I have raised 5 from 12 weeks and cared for through old age (7 total) with 2 3yo pups currently in home. I am a lifelong animal lover and have had several cats as well and would be happy to cat-sit for you too. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets when needed, and it’s something I’ve always enjoyed and am very passionate about. My life centers around my fur babies’ wellbeing and routine, so I would absolutely love to share my love and experience with you and yours. Being a busy floof mama myself I understand the importance of flexible hours and rates for busy floof parents. Whether you need in-home sitting, drop-in visits, play dates at the park, or just some walking, I am here to provide dedicated care and love for your floof babies! I also understand how important trusting someone with your pet is, and I promise to make you and your fur babies feel completely safe and at ease working with me!

Dana was awesome! She took great care with our elderly dogs and our little Vinny a plush Bolognese 🩷. She was very responsible, playful and loving with our little pups. We just loved Dana’s positive energy and thoughtful attitude, she really brought a genuine kindness which we really appreciated. We will definitely request Dana in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best care for their pets. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Dana was outstanding! She cared for our cats as if they were her own. And she left our house spotless. Will definitely use her again.
