Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I care for my own elderly chihuahua every day, so things like walks, feeding, snuggles, and keeping routines are already built into my schedule. I also work as a personal assistant, which means I’m organized, flexible, and used to balancing responsibilities with care and attention. Making time for animals is easy for me because it’s something I truly enjoy and value. I have a flexible schedule and for the most part I can fit into your routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and double-check that doors, gates, and food/medications are handled with care. I take time to create a calm, loving environment so your pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. At my own home, my elderly gal gets free run of the space. She sleeps on the bed, we do walks, treats, and play with her favorite toys (her llama with a unicorn horn), you dog would receive the same treatment. :)

Reliable and big hearted pet care!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for pets — I’ve had animals since I was a kid, and my own elderly chihuahua keeps me tuned in to the love and patience pets need at every stage of life. I’m gentle with seniors, patient with puppies, and treat every animal like family. With my background as a personal assistant, I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to all the little details that keep pets happy and safe.

Dana is incredibly responsive on chat and gave extra pointers about things to do with the pup during our stay in Tahoe. Strong recommend!

Dana was awesome with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately and had a great day with her!

Dana, by nature, is an incredibly loyal and dependable individual. This, coupled with her perceptiveness and attention to detail helps her deliver a quality of care that meets and often exceeds the standard. As a parent and pet owner life can get busy and occcasionally things are missed, but being able to depend on Dana to arrive in a timely fashion, meet all household members with care, and deliver attentive time to my pets alliviates a massive load off my shoulders. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
