Pet care experience

Since I was a kid, animals have always been such a huge part of my life and as I grew up, they became one of my biggest passions. Growing up they were always around and now I am the proud dog mom to two pups of my own and I know how hard it can be to leave your pets when you have to get away. Leaving them in a safe and loving environment, providing trustworthy and skilled care, and being their best friend in your absence is my number one priority as a pet sitter. I can’t wait to offer my passion and services to others. Your pup is going to love my family! Cricket is our eight year old Border Collie and Retriever Mix who is down to chase a squirrel up a tree or follow a ball! One of their favorite things to do is relax on the patio in the evening with my husband, enjoying a beautiful night. Communication is key when I care for pups! I will be available via phone and text at any time and because I’m home full time, I can provide updates frequently and quickly. I always like to let owners know how their pet is doing, even if they can’t respond. I will love your pet as my own. My husband and I live in a single-story home (so there won’t be any stairs for pups to climb) in Fairmont Park. Our neighborhood is well established, quiet, and just blocks away from the local park! We also have a fenced-in backyard where your pup can have potty breaks, play time, and romps with our pups! They’ll love having the freedom to get some exercise in a safe space. When I’m not pet sitting, I enjoy traveling, arts and crafts and photography. I have recently discovered Reiki and have received the Animal Reiki Practitioner Certificate. I'm interested in natural health, home remedies, and aromatherapy! Your pup would be welcome to join me in any of my activities or on any of my adventures.

Dana was great taking care of our new rescue GSD girl, Mika for 2 weeks. This was our first time using Rover, and Dana was wonderful in all regards. She took great care of Mika, provided lots of great pictures and gave us frequent updates. Dana made it very easy to use the service, and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Information Dana W. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I require a meet and greet so that we can get to know one another to make sure we’d be a fit. I also like to learn about your dog’s normal schedule or routine, their favorite toys and treats, and any behavioral tendencies or medical issues I should be aware of. Any information you can provide about your dog’s personality, relationship to other creatures, and activity level is also appreciated.

A typical day

Daily walks around my neighborhood and our local parks are guarantee when your fur baby stays with me! I also love catering each stay around your dog’s needs in particular, so make sure to let me know what they love and their normal activity level. If your dog likes to play, be sure to bring his/her toys or treats. Whatever your pup needs for a safe and happy stay, I’ll provide.
