Animal lover and caretaker!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Dana and I have owned over 4 dogs growing up! My dogs have ranged from golden retrievers to mutts from the shelter and various sizes. I am a HUGE animal lover and love to make dogs feel loved and love to exercise and play with them and make sure they get the treatment they deserve. I love to take dogs on walk, as well as have downtime with them. I have been a pet sitter since middle school for all animals including dogs, cats, horses and others and I am very responsible. I have also grown up volunteering at local animal shelters where I have helped take the dogs on walks, as well as help socialize them. I have a large window of availability and would love to help take care of your dog! I am very prompt and take my job seriously and I am extremely communicative. I love to hangout with animals and spend quality time with them and when pet sitting, I do my best to make sure they are having a great time away from their owners. I will listen to your needs and I am very communicative. I will not only provide photos of your furry friend when you are away but updates and keep in touch so you don't need to worry. I have experience with both big and smaller dogs and feel comfortable with any size. I would love to help take care of your furry friend when you need it and provide the best possible care. I look forward to speaking with you!

Dana is an excellent dog caregiver. She has pet-sat for me on multiple occasions. Not only have I used Dana as a sitter for daily walks while I am at work, but she has been so helpful during my overnight trips as well. My pup, Arlo, is a 50lb foxhound that can be a lot to handle. Dana was sure to respect both my pup and my home while she cared for him. She was sure to stick to our schedule by walking, feeding, and playing with him at the appropriate times. Additionally, she has been excellent with communication and reached out to be sure that she was providing correct and proper care for my dog-- She even provided me with photos of my pup to update me while I was away! I am so happy to have Dana as a petsitter and always reach out to her first before consulting with daycares for my pup. I will continue to book with Dana in the future and anyone would be lucky to use her for any type of pet!

Dana loves all furry friends! She loves her dog more than anything and therefore has lots of experiencing taking care of dogs! Not only will she take care of your dog but she will make sure they get lots of love and attention! I can’t think of anyone better to care for your furry family members!

Dana has a reputation for being responsible and thorough on any job, not just animal care. She is dependable and prompt. She loves all animals, but especially dogs and cats, and has a lot of experience with them. I recommend Dana whether you're looking for someone to take care of only dogs or of dogs and other animals.

Dana Walker is very responsible and is very comfortable and good with all animals, especially dogs. She has done a great job with taking care of our dogs (and cats) when we were out of town. I highly recommend using Dana as a dog-sitter or as a dog-walker; you'll be pleased with her care of your loved dogs. All the best, Bev S.

Information Dana W. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know their overall temperament and if there is anything specific I need to know about the dog or breed. I am normally very good with all kinds of dogs but have not worked with every kind. I have always grown up with golden retrievers and find myself drawn towards them but I love all dogs!

A typical day

I would love to take your dogs to a dog park if allowed, I would take them on trails around the area and or walks in the surrounding neighborhoods. I have many dog toys at home from my own dog and I love to play Frisbee, fetch and help dogs get all of their energy out!
